arthurfam,

1) you do not need to use a special webs-server to support a WAP site - as you are generating WML using ASP you just need a hosting company that can support ASP - the important thing is to remember the ContentType:
    Response.ContentType = "text/vnd.wap.wml"

Let me know if you want more info on that, but it really is a no-brainer.

2) we run a number of sites off our old web-servers, so depending on what your site does, I can host it there for you for free, conatct me at:
    ee(at)base-innovate.com
with a subject line of:
    free WAP hosting

3) if you have your own hosting server, you can access it via an IP Address, otherwise it is likely that you will first need to
register a domain - we also register domains, but there's a zillion other places to do that

arthurfam,

oh - I forgot - check out www.winwap.org for a WAP emulator - it's free for 30 days, and while it doesn't look dead sexy (i.e. like a phone), it does work

Just a quick addition.  Tomcat is used for JSP/Servlets and not ASP.  I'm not too familar with the servers that ASP runs on but you can probably count on IIS, I *think* that Apache supports ASP, but I'm not sure.

Just in case you've got confused between ASP and JSP, the JSP line you'll need is:

response.setContentType("text/vnd.wap.wml");

;-)

Try Openwave. http://developer.openwave.com/ I use this as my primary emulator and has never failed on me. Also it is best to downlod the earlier SDK's, I use version 4 the most as not everyone has the best colour phone on the market.

As for web servers, I personally use IIS and found that even though the content type is setup in the ASP page, nothing worked on the phone until I set the MIME types in IIS.

http://webproasp.com/webproasp-27-20030513IntroductiontoWAPusingWMLASPandPHP.html

After setting the MIME types everything worked and my ASP database WAP site works on any wap compatible phone. You can point the phone browser to the IP of the web server without a problem. I o this with our server now and then as my server is on a random IP address.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,
  I am a wap developer,i have develop a wap-based system by using wml mix with asp. when i try using direct ip conencting to the iis, the phone can run only a part of code. some of the page show 'server error.'

   So, can i upload my wap-based system to your site. please reply me as soon as possible because this is my final year project and i am going to present the system 3 weeeks later.

Thank You.

Arthur.

No problem at all. Very glad to help someone starting out.

Let me know how much space you need, and I will set up an FTP account to use.

Do you have a domain name to use? If not I will set you up with a sub-domain off one of ours, something like 'arthur.wap-base.com'

I can see you need ASP scripting, which is fine, but do you need database services or anything else too?

Let me know the above and I'll sort it out for you ... and good luck with your final year project.
