Roaming Media Unveils Breakthrough Wireless Application Framework for J2EE Environments

Roaming Medias Roaming Wireless Framework (RWF) extends J2EE application servers with support for multiple wireless device types negating the need for dedicated wireless servers.

December 5, 2001 -- Roaming Media, Inc., a premier provider of leading edge J2EE development products, announced today the commercial availability of Roaming Wireless Framework (RWF) to simplify the development and deployment of wireless applications. Coupled with the companys J2EE development environment, Roaming Studio, RWF accelerates wireless development by a factor up to 50%. RWF can be applied to an organizations core application server; thereby, negating the need for additional servers dedicated specifically to wireless environments.

"We believe developers today continuously struggle to wireless-enable their applications often using proprietary toolkits that only partially meet their needs," said Dana Kaufman, President of Roaming Media. "Roaming Wireless Framework is intended to simplify the complexity of wireless J2EE development, and reduce the time and cost of making compelling Internet solutions available on a range of mobile platforms."

RWF supports multiple wireless device types (i.e., WAP, I-Mode, PQA, HTML, etc). Device independence and the ability to deliver custom content based on wireless device type are accomplished using Roaming Medias wireless device sensing capabilities. This technology determines the types of device as it accesses a site and informs framework objects what target to render for. Dynamic content can then be generated correctly for each device.

RWF is a flexible wireless application framework based completely on cutting edge open technology including: JavaServer Pages (JSP), JSP Custom Tag Libraries, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and XML. RWFs highly modular design allows companies to use all or part of the framework, which simplifies its integration directly into their development process. This approach lets companies pick and choose the modules, technologies and devices they wish to support.

RWF can be integrated with Roaming Studio, a cutting edge J2EE development environment. In combination, RWF and Roaming Studio provide developers with the most powerful and flexible wireless solution on the market. Each purchased license of RWF includes one copy of Roaming Studio as well as the source code for RWF.

A trial version of RWF is available for download on Roaming Media's website. Please contact our sales department, sales@roamingmedia.com, for additional information on the Roaming Wireless Framework and/or Roaming Studio.
