COMPONENT BASED ARCHITECTURE FOR WAP COMPLIANT TRANSACTIONAL SERVICE

ABSTRACT
The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open, global specification that empowers mobile users with wireless devices (such as mobile phones) to easily access and interacts with information and services on the Internet. Although some components of the WAP suite have been developed, it lacks a complete general architecture integrating software components of both the Internet and wireless contexts in a transparent way. This research presents a general architectural framework to develop and deploy portable applications and services accessible by WAP-compliant mobile terminals, extending end-to-end services between terminal and business applications. Different implementation strategies for the application logic, allowing either fast prototyping or the realization of robust portable complex applications and transactional services, are presented. Moreover, a technique to handle terminal disconnection is presented.
