Develop

Develop mobile applications in Eclipse Edition. A mobile application is an end-to-end application, which includes the mobile business object (MBO) definition (back-end data connection, attributes, operations, and relationships), the generated server-side code, and the device application. The device application is the client-side application code that can be created using native coding or the programming APIs.

Use the following topics to guide you through developing mobile applications.

• Developing a Mobile Business Object
  You can define attributes and operations of a mobile business object (MBO) without immediately binding them to a data source, define them from and bind them to a data source, or create an MBO that does not bind to a data source (local business object).
• Working with Mobile Business Objects
  Create attributes and operations for mobile business objects, create relationships between mobile business objects, bind them to a back-end data sources, modify and test them.
• Packaging and Deploying Mobile Business Objects
  Create and deploy a deployment package to the Unwired Server that contains your mobile business objects (including role mappings, server connection mappings, and other mobile business object related artifacts). Optionally create a deployment profile that allows you to manage multiple deployment packages.
• Develop a Device Application
  Develop custom device applications from your data source for one or more device platforms.
