Abstract

With ubiquitous computing becoming reality there is a great potential of computing power in the surroundings. This can be provided by mobile devices such as mobile phones and PDAs building spontaneous networks. For service provisioning, Web services are an accepted standard. We advocate that these can also be used in ubiquitous scenarios.

In this paper, we present SoapME, a novel SOAPbased Web service container for Java ME. SoapME is very lightweight and supports resource-limited devices running only Java ME CLDC. Unlike related work, it provides dynamic deployment of SOAP-based Web services at runtime. Our SoapME prototype provides several extension points, for instance for invocation interception. It shows reasonable performance on a mobile phone and is compliant to the standard SOAP test collection specification.
