    I am thinking of developing a web app using the following AJAX, JSP,Servlets,JavaBeans and MYSQL

    I want the above web app to be accesable or at least parts of it to be accessable through a mobile device e.g Mobile Phone using a J2ME application what do i need to know in order to connect the web app to the J2ME app e.g. what is WSDL?

    Why not just do a mobile version of the web app rather than introducing the added complexity of also having a j2me client?

    Mobile have limited memory and fuctionality so that would limit me i found out that i only use a WSDL file if its a web service like SOAP with my app i can use the J2ME app to interact with the Database

    I think what ChRoMe was suggesting is that you simply create a version of your app's regular pages optimised for mobile use. Far easier than writing a J2ME app from scratch. Basically, use the thinnest client you can, which in this case would seem to be a web browser.

    That would be the easiests but i plan to use the GWT to so that the the pages on the web system eg the JSP are Ajax and as such they can't be viewed in a wap browser. Plain JSP pages can but not pages AJAX pages as far as i am aware

    Thats what I was getting at. You are correct, client side scripting is not possible (well it is, but **** all handsets support it). However with a bit of thought jsp printing out xhtml-mp with some css and some clever forms can accomplish most tasks.
