Topic Description : Movie Tickets Booking System on Mobile Phone written in ASP and WAP. Tested on Nokia's and Phone's simulator.
Level : (Advanced) Assumed you are aware of ASP and WML | | Here we will see a nice, simple example of how a user can book a movie tickets through his mobile phone. We are going to use ASP and Access database to retrieve and store information. No Registration is required. Take a look on Database structure first. (Tickets.mdb) We have 4 Tables,
[Movie : Stores Movie names and stars in movie, Unique movieId(Auto Number Field).]
[Theater : Stores Theater names each one uniquely identified by theaterid (Auto Number Field).]
[Shows : Theaters running particular movies and its timings, seats availability and per ticket price, MovieId and TheaterId as Foreign Keys. Each show identified as Showid (Auto Number Field)].
[Booking : Unique booking id generated for each booking done. you also store name, phone number and number of seats booked of the users.
Here is the Relational Structure and Sample Data Used for Demo
Before writing code understand basic
For demo you can put all this .wml and .asp files in to one directory and map it as a virtual directory is IIS. Since it uses DSN-less connection put database also in the same directory.
When you call or redirect to .asp file your asp file should generate WML code instead of HTML, because that is what your w@p enable device or simulator would understand. This can be done by first throwing W@P’s mime-types from an ASP program. The following lines should be included in your ASP program as it is. <%Response.ContentType="text/vnd.wap.wml"%>
<%Response.write("<?xml version=""1.0""?><!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC ""-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"" ""http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml"">")%> |
After this you can throw any WML content. First line is important as browser sould know what type of data is going to come. Passing parameters to ASP program
At time you accept input from the user which needs to be pass to an ASPprogram. Here are WML statements to pass parameters in a name valuepair to your ASP program.Using your <go> tag you call your nextWML DECK or an ASP program. Right !. <do type="accept" label="Select Movie">
<go href="theaters.asp" method="get" >
<postfield name="mid" value="$(mid)" />
</go>
</do> |
Here you can also specify method ( ie. GET/POST although POST is notsupported by few devices we will use GET Method ) and the parametersyou want to pass by using <postfield> tag. <postfield> tagrequires name and value attributes.
That's enough to proceed
Here is the entire code with explanation This is the initial screen which stays for few seconds and then redirects you to movie.asp munamobile.wml <wml>
<card ontimer="movie.asp">
<timer value="30"/>

This page give list of all Movies available in the system, and user toselect one. It lists movies as choices, <select and option> tags.Before sending any output it send appropriate mime type by settingcontent type property

Join this webcast to see how IBM Data Studio Developer and pureQuery can take the pain out of Java data access. uApplications developed using both Java and SQL have become a common requirement. Database connectivity using Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) to create an application is a multi-step tedious process, and tooling that covers both SQL and Java has been unavailable, until now. IBM Data Studio introduces the pureQuery platform: a high-performance, Java data access platform focused on simplifying the tasks of developing, managing, and optimizing database applications and services.

XML has become a common way of storing business data as flat files and many data server vendors including IBM have provided ways to store this data within relational database systems. Increasingly collections of XML files are accessed like databases using an xQuery and other XML standard mechanisms. Businesses find the need to combine the traditional tabular structured data with XML formatted data. In this webcast, you’ll learn about IBM’s WebSphere Federation Server technology, which provides users with the ability to integrate these two data formats.

Because access to government information continues to be an area of concern for many U.S. citizens with disabilities, the U.S. government enacted Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in 2001 to ensure that government agencies create accessible Web content, enabling all citizens to access the information they need. A fully accessible Web site makes Web content accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities, who may be accessing Web content via a variety of user agents. Common user agents include standard Web browsers, text-only browsers, assistive devices and mobile devices such as cell phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs).
