Continuous capture applications and applications that contain server-side click-across events provide similar results—the ability to create an application with embedded links that display new content when clicked. For example, an application may have a link that returns more detailed information about an item on the top-level application when you click the link. However, there are differences between these two approaches.Continuous capture allows you to create a set of related pages, based on one source Web site, which is defined within a single application. Individual pages are accessed through links on the top-level page. As users click links, the source Web site context is maintained, including cookies, and content is extracted to each page using the continuous capture information stored when the application was created. Continuous capture works for remote Web site capture.In contrast, server-side click-across is built around separate, independent applications. The content of each application is defined separately, and context, such as cookies, is maintained separately. This means that the context is not preserved as you move from application to application. Each step establishes a completely separate session with the back-end Web server. Because each application is separate, you need not build them from the same Web site.
The Mobile Application Development Tutorial contains sample procedures that illustrate how to use this functionality.
