Multi-Channel Server—detects devices and transforms content and applications to
the device.
Foundation Services—enhance applications and speed development. These are in
the form of Java APIs or Web services.
Development Tools—help developers code, test and debug wireless and voice
applications.
As you build wireless applications, you can leverage the Wireless Development Kit
(WDK) to create and test your applications with JDeveloper or any other Integrated
Development Environment (IDE). You can run wireless applications on your
development PC or laptop simulating the full installation of OracleAS Wireless. As
you create applications, they can be further enhanced with the Foundation Services of
OracleAS Wireless. The Foundation Services allow you to easily add compelling
features to your wireless applications such as location-awareness, alerting,
personalization and more. These services are available through simple, open-standard
Web services or Java APIs. Other tools such as Web Clipping allow you to take an
existing PC browser application and turn it into a wireless application.
OracleAS Wireless also simplifies the deployment of your wireless and voice
applications. From Oracle JDeveloper, you are able to automatically deploy your
wireless applications to the Oracle Application Server environment. Once your
application is in the Oracle Application Server environment, the Web-based
Application Developer tool allows you to register your application for deployment.
Even if your application is residing on another Web server, you are able to register
your application with OracleAS Wireless (with its URL) giving mobile access to all
your users. Your application can be delivered to your end users with several flexible
methods, such as Over-the-Air (OTA) delivery, browser access, or download.
After your application has been created and deployed, you may need to manage
access privileges, users and groups, or your complete system. OracleAS Wireless offers
complete tools for each of these tasks in an intuitive set of web-based tools.
