A Distributed Architecture for WAP-Based Mobile GIS
Overview WAP-based Mobile Geographical Information System (Mobile GIS) can be described as mobile users can perform the almost same functionality as of Internet GIS but in a mobile environment at any time, any place and without the limitation of operating system and wired link. In this paper, a distributed architecture for WAP-based Mobile GIS is proposed. Using Java Servlet Engine technology and Geospatial information Web caching mechanism at the fat server side, the architecture based on J2EE is composed of four logic tiers: presentation tier, WAP service tier, application tier and data service tier. A prototype system based on the architecture has been developed. It can successfully work on WAP phones, which proves that the architecture is feasible.
