Quick Start with Mxim framework
Introduction
Mxim framework is content serving framework, using Mxim framework you can build mobile applications, powerful solutions and services for wide range of devices, that include all kind of Java enabled devices. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Mxim framework the most convenient mobile solution development platform. Mxim framework offers a flexible architecture for integrating web services, porting web sites and building server based solutions for handheld devices.
You can use any server side language like; PHP, Perl, Python, Java, Ruby with Mxml (Mxim Markup Language)
To start with development please read following steps carefully, as it will save you from a lot of hassle;
How Mxim framework works?
Mxml (Mxim Markup Language) can be written using even a simple notepad application, should have plaint text readable file headers.
Mxim Content Server access Mxml content by specified server configurations and understands its content and generates SRS (Server Response Schema) as per specified version in Mxml encode attribute. Mxim Runtime receives the SRS and generates output and refreshes application state on device with every Request / Response activity. That allows on fly content changes and modifications in application user interface and dynamic interaction handling.
What is Mxml?
Mxml (Mxim Markup Language) works with Mxim Content Server and Mxim Runtime environment. Mxml works as a bridge between existing web technologies and Mxim Content Server.
It helps to achieve entire development lifecycle using with any server side language like; PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails or developers can even user any of Content Management Systems (CMS) or web frameworks like joomla, CakePHP, Symphony, Wordpress, Drupal, etc for developing Mxim Applications.
How to start with development?
You can start writing Mxml (Mxim Markup Language) using as simple as notepad, and save your file as “.mxml” and upload your file on your server.
Download Mxim Runtime on your device or use RDA (Remote Device Access)
And Enter PIN number, that will take you to your uploaded content.
Mxml Manual
Is there any sample application that I can try?
Yes, recently an open source initiative has taken, See MX-Portal
MX-Portal
MX-Portal is under LGPL license, MX-Portal is free to use for personal or commercial use.
How to deploy Mxim application?
Mxim application deployment only requires Mxim Content Server (MCS) hosting.
Preparing ZIP file for application deployment
Zip file name will be final application name “ApplicationName.jar”
Caution: Application name can only contain alphanumeric characters with no blank spaces.
resources
resources folder keeps the images, that will be available on device.
To setup UAP (Unique Access Point) please contact your hosting company
Unique Access Point (UAP)
UAP is a communication address for Mxim application, generally UAP is Mxim application remote server address, that will be like http://www.myserver.com OR http://187.658.685.54 |
