Component documentation The Administrator’s Guide to the Device Recognition Process Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

The following explanation provides System Administrators with a guide to installing and executing ClientInfo for Java Web applications (delivered as clientinfo.war). The ClientInfo Web application is an extension of the Java-enabled Web server and is implemented in Java in the package com.sap.mobile.clientinfo. This Web application provides the device properties of mobile devices like pocket PCs and WAP-enabled mobile telephones at runtime.

Among other tasks, System Administrators can change the Deployment Descriptor web.xml file. They can also change values already specified for the properties of mobile devices and add new mobile devices to the device recognition process.

Features

Installing a Web application

System Administrators can adapt the deployment of the Web application to the Web server structure of their own enterprise by changing the parameters of the Deployment Descriptor element <servlet/>.

For more information on the Deployment Descriptor, refer to The Deployment Descriptor.

Note

When assigning file names, field names, and so on, bear in mind that Java is case-sensitive.

Including other mobile devices in the device recognition process

The innovations in the mobile devices market sector ensure that there are always new devices on the market. This in turn means that not all commercially available mobile devices with their properties and values can be contained in the delivered XML documents.

To add additional devices with their special properties, System Administrators can create new XML files.

  1. Change the properties predefined by SAP and thus adapt the guidelines for Web applications to the needs of your enterprise.
  2. Include new devices by adding more XML files.

For details on maintaining and enhancing these XML documents, see the following:
