Great!, I am coming back to my blog after some weeks of absence, unfortunately it is becoming a custom

Some weeks ago I released the new INVEMAR’s WAP Site, which is the first module of new Content Management System project, it was developed using Oracle, JSP, Servlets, CSS, Javascript (Mootols) and lot of imagination.

About WAP Site’s Back-End

This module was a very interesing project.  It gets information from the same database used for the CMS, which means that the same information published in the web site is displayed on the WAP Site, it makes it possible to have an updated and consistent site for mobile devices.

An interesting characteristic of this administration module is that everything that is currently being displayed on the WAP Site have been totally configured before through back-end, it means that it is necesary to set the content for header, footer, categories, subcategories, content, etc. , in simple words INVEMAR’s WAP Site is a real white canvas which must be colored through its CMS.  Next image illustrates it better.

Wap Site Back-end Vs. Front-end

About WAP Site’s Front-End

As everything is configured in back-end, there could be any kind of pages (because you configure the way you want a specific page to be displayed), so there could not be a template for every kind (trying to do such a thing could make anybody crazy), but just one and it is the main page, yes a simple index.jsp which routes all the information provided for visitor to a renderization module which consists in many related clases which are in charge of retrieving data from database, adding styles, organizing header, content, links, footer, among others, … to finally return a well-formed XHTML to be displayed on visitor’s mobile browser (see image above).

Ok, that is, in some words, what I have done to make the WAP project to become true, now I have too many other things to create and little time to get them.
