WAM Mobile Interface

WAM includes a preliminary version of a WAP interface, which automatically offers any WAM application an alternative mobile phone interface, based on the same WAMmodel and database meta information behind WAM applications for web browsers. You can try it over NorthWind, Pubs and other database examples at our online showroom.

The human interface is adapted for the smaller screen size, and some WAP-specific features are implemented, for example in the latest mobile phones WAMphone fields get "call this number now" links.

Most WAM human interface fragments such as a multi-lingual interface, rows (single record forms), field validation and other features are implemented based on the same WAMmodel used in applications for browsers, except for the following current limitations: no inverse lookups; no immediate field validation due to the lack of WML events vis a vis web browsers; no ability to create list search criteria (users get to reuse criteria created through a web browser); SQL user permissions and table constraints are not visually reflected in the interface, so their violation will simply originate a database error later.

The WAM Mobile interface is compatible with Wireless Application Protocol 1.2 or later devices.
