WAP Interface

Rails
1

Anyone have any experience with or comments on developing a WAP
interface for a Rails app?

I’m completely new to WAP and need to quote on building a WAP version of
an existing web interface.

Any feedback, pointers or links appreciated!

Thanks
Nick

I am very interested in this as well, not just wap but mobile versions
in general (ala Backpack Mobile). If anyone has any knowledge or
resources to share on this it would be great, especially using all the
RJS stuff if that is even possible (perhaps UJS would help some?).

WAP is yet another XML-like, SGML derived subset - similar to HTML in
that sense.

You can use standard xml tools for Rails (rxml), or you could try to
use standard rhtml. If you decide to use rhtml, you might want to
develop your own helpers to create fully WAP compliant output; this
isn’t hard to do.

A search for WAP or WML turns up nothing - what was the original
discussion about?
