Abstract / Excerpt:

The importance of information access highlights the need for the development of mobile information services. Primarily two technologies, Short Message Services (SMS) and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), are the most popular phone features being used by most people. Several studies show that WAP is a more efficient way of delivering information to people anytime and anywhere because it delivers information from a relational database, unlike that of SMS which gather information from a static HTML page. Java Server Pages (JSP) is a technology that lets you mix regular, static HTML with dynamically-generated HTML. Many Web pages that are built by CGI programs are mostly static, with the dynamic part limited to a few small locations. But most CGI variations, including servlets, make you generate the entire page via your program, even though most of it is always the same. JSP lets you create the two parts separately. JSP separates the processing and business logic codes from the presentation. Instead of embedding HTML in the codes, static HTML pages are placed in the JSP page, just as regular web page, and add a few JSP elements to generate the dynamic parts of the page. In this paper, the proponents developed a mobile phone information service using Java servlets, JRun and JSP concepts.
