Getting Ready with the Nokia ToolkitUser agents communicate with a WAP server, the Web server-equivalent of the wireless world. You can download a WAP server software from any leading wireless corporations. In particular, Nokia offers their WAP server in this URL. But, for developing WML and WMLScript software, you really need a simulator that models both the server and the user agents. Nokia offers you just that. You need to download two software packages to your PC:
Let's assume you saved both packages in your Invoke the Nokia WAP Toolkit. The standard installation adds it to the Start/Programs menu, under Nokia WAP Toolkit/Toolkit. The toolkit will load and you'll get two windows: the Nokia WAP Toolkit window and the Nokia 6150 window. Open the file
The Nokia WAP Toolkit window is your development cockpit. You can edit your WML and WMLScript here. You can also compile your programs (yes, you need to compile them like C and C++ code). Most importantly, you can run your script from here and operate your Nokia 6150 as if it is hooked up to a WAP server. We'll show you how in the following pages.
