In the Mobile Development perspective, select File|New|Mobile Application.
From the Mobile Application Wizard, select Launch Element Wizard, then select Web Capture from the element type drop-down list, and click Finish.
Alternatively, right-click the Mobile Applications folder, and select Create New Mobile Application With|Web Capture Element.
In the Web Capture Element window, enter a beginning URL—Internet address—of the Web content you want to capture in the Location text field, then click Go.
When the location you entered displays, click Next.
Select the Capture Strategy from the drop-down list.
The Web Content Capture technology does not display applets in Sybase WorkSpace because of an Eclipse limitation.
Select the Capture All check box to capture all content on the page.
Once you select Capture All for a mobile application, you cannot unselect the option, and a mobile application rendered with this option always plays back in the Mobile Development perspective using the option. Using Capture All can cause significant performance degradation during playback, as more interaction is required between the Unwired Accelerator server and the Web server from which the content is being captured.
Capture All – captures all the GETs and POSTs. Using the default settings during navigation and capture, Unwired Accelerator remembers the final URL of the page you want to capture and play back, along with any intermediate URLs that are generated by HTTP "POST" requests. These latter URLs typically result from submitting form data. During playback, these URLs are submitted in order and the resulting page content returned to the client browser.
However, for some sites, this is not sufficient to guarantee that enough context is provided to the Web server to return the desired page. In this situation, you may need to include other intermediate HTTP requests (that is, HTTP "GET" requests) so the correct client state can be established and the desired page returned. If you suspect this situation is occurring, select Capture All to request that during the capture phase, Unwired Accelerator should record all significant HTTP requests against the Web server from which the page is being captured.
Click Next.
When you create a mobile application using one-click capture, and the mobile application content contains numerous links, some of the links may not work properly due to underlying JavaScript or redirect code in the link content.
Click the left mouse button in a suitable area, indicated by a shadow-box that trails the mouse arrow and says "Select it."
The capture option window displays the "best guess" capture from the specified area.
Click the light-blue Select button to the left of the option you want to select. The button changes to a darker blue when you select it. Click Finish.
You return to the wizard where the new element displays. Click Preview to view the resulting page.
Click Capture to return to the Web Capture Element window and start over.
Click Finish if you are done, or Next to further customize the captured Web content as described in the following sections.
See the Unwired Accelerator Developer's Guide 7.0 for additional information.
