Abstract :
While the desire to gain full access to stationary information sources (e.g. the company´s backoffice database) from abroad is only natural, inherent design limitations (such as a lack of computational power, extremely limited resources and closedness to modifications), mean that mobile system integration can still be a difficult issue. In contrast to other approaches to the field, the “Java Border Service Architecture” introduced in the article does not require modifications to the mobile device´s system software or the application environment to be accessed from the mobile system
