Book description

This IBM Redbooks publication will help you plan, install, and administer mobile applications to run in a WebSphere Everyplace Deployment Version 6 environment. The information provided in this book targets business-to-employee (B2E) enterprise applications, but most of the scenarios presented will apply to business-to-consumer (B2C) applications as well. In this book, you will find step-by-step examples and scenarios showing ways to integrate your enterprise applications into a WebSphere Everyplace Deployment environment by extending your online and offline application capabilities to use advanced functions such as Web Services, messaging, database synchronization, device management, and security.

In this book, you will also find step-by-step sample installation and administration procedures to help you get online, access, and synchronize your enterprise application data from rich client devices. The book includes topics such as product installation, administration, database synchronization, device management, and how to establish secure connections.

The book includes information about how to integrate WebSphere Everyplace Deployment with WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager as well as supporting WebSphere Client Technology Micro Edition client applications.
A basic knowledge of Java technologies such as servlets, JavaBeans, Enterprise JavaBeans, as well as database, device management, and XML applications and the terminology used in Web publishing is assumed.

Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.
