WDBAS and OS 5?

[gingerdave]

Hi,

I have been provided with a Sony NX70V running Palm OS 5 (with wireless ethernet kit), a copy of WDBAS and Codewarrior to complete a project.

When trying to run the sample programs I get a Fatal Exception on the Clie, having read one article in a forum, I understand that WDBAS is not strictly compatible with OS5 (WDBAS on the server shows recieving and sending data)

What are the possible solutions for this? - I am in urgent need of help as the project needs to be completed in 5 weeks and no other hardware is avaliable.

One post mentioned Inetlib, I am unaware of what this is/does/how to use it to my advantage in this scenairo.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Try downloading the OS 5 simulator and see if the sample apps still crash on it.

Secondly, is it a requirement that the application must run on OS 5? Are you running it on your Clie only because you have no other device to test on? It is rare that someone would want an OS 5 only application.

If the answer is yes to the second question, you can at least develop on the Palm Emulator, for OS 3.5 and 4.0, without the need for a real device. Of course, there will still be differences, and you will have to test on a real Palm device eventually.

InetLib is the HTTP transport library. WDBAS supports both Inetlib and NetLib, the TCP sockets library, as its transport.

If you need any help, we are available for development services, as we have worked with WDBAS in the past. Depending on your needs, the WDBAS may not even be necessary for your project...
