Note: In addition, the Getting Started Tutorials provide a series of short lessons designed to teach
the basics of using the WebLogic Mobility Server mobility tags to create multi-channel content
and applications.

Is There a Demonstration Workshop Mobility Project?

Yes, if you have installed BEA WebLogic Mobility Server available from BEA Systems. The
"restaurantWeb" sample Workshop project demonstrates many of the WebLogic Mobility Server
features such as:
•
Organizing and tailoring content for different devices
•
Previewing content on different devices
•
Ensuring the media format being delivered is appropriate to the device making the request
The "restaurantWeb" sample Workshop project has been installed in the <bea installation
directory>\weblogic81\mobility\samples\BEAWorkshop directory. Please see the BEA
WebLogic Mobility Server Installation Guide for instructions on importing the "restaurantWeb"
sample Workshop project into a Workshop application. The BEA Sample Workshop Mobility
Project Guide provides a step by step explanation of how to use the Mobility Extension for BEA
WebLogic Workshop to mobilize "restaurantWeb." In the same directory as "restaurantWeb" is
an already mobilized version of the sample project called "restaurantWeb_after."

What Authoring Tools Do I Need?

WebLogic Mobility Server includes the Mobility Extension for BEA WebLogic Workshop. With
the Mobility Extension, the BEA WebLogic Workshop Integrated Development Environment can
be used for creating multi-channel applications and extending existing applications to support
wireless devices. Please see the section "The Mobility Extension for BEA Workshop" for a
description of the functionality provided by the Mobility Extension. The BEA Sample Workshop
Mobility Project Guide provides a hands-on tutorial that uses the Mobility Extension features.

What Format Do I Use for Marking Up Content?

The mobility tags are a set of XML compliant tags that form the essential building blocks for the
development of mobilized web content.
mmXHTML (multi-mode XHTML) is a compact set of tags that begin with the characters mm-
(for example
<mm-group>...</mm-group>
equivalent set of tags for developers working with JSP pages. The taglib replicates the
functionality of the mmXHTML tag set. These tags begin with the characters mm: (for example
<mm:group>...</mm:group>
the JSP tab library into WebLogic Workshop, providing a Mobility Palette and inserts wizards for
drag and drop inclusion of the mobility tags into content.
