Beta version of WALL library now available!
Have you ever heard about pancakes which are hard
to make unless you break those eggs?
Well, I am serving you one of those pancakes right now.
WALL (the Wireless Abstraction Library) is taking
OUI's place, meaning that I will not dedicate
more time to OUI in the future. Of course, this site
will still be available together with the OUI sourcecode
for those who need it. It just won't get much of my time.
If you are serious about WAP, you gotta
check it out!
For those who want to hear the whole story, here are the reasons for this move:
- OUI was designed for a world where WML was here to stay.
In 2001 this was changed with the introduction of XHTML MP.
Upgrading OUI to support XHTML MP would be unpractical. Most
developers are better off with an HTML mark-up that also offers
WML support
- OUI was based on the existence of an object model. This turned
out to make integration with other tag-libs tricky (struts, JSTL)
as these tag-libs became more and more of a defacto standard
- OUI was pretty much about a world where there were two
main browsers only. This is less and less true is day.
WALL is based on WURFL and gives you the flexibility you
need to support any device. With OUI, you had to build new
Java rendering strategies. This is too complex for
the random user.
Thank you
