Mobilizing Lotus Domino Content Using the BlackBerry Browser
The BlackBerry Enterprise Solution™ enables companies to easily access their web-enabled Lotus Domino databases from the BlackBerry device. Simply create a new View of your database that is optimized for the BlackBerry smaller screen and use the HTTP headers to recognize when the request is coming from the BlackBerry Browser versus a regular desktop browser.
Mobilizing Lotus Domino Web Services Using BlackBerry MDS Studio
Using our new drag and drop development tool, BlackBerry MDS Studio, and the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution, you can wirelessly access your Lotus Domino Web Services. In your Lotus Domino Web Service environment, create an Agent to generate a WDSL that specifies the functionality that you want mobile access to. Then just point MDS Studio at that WSDL and it will automatically generate the code and application, which you can then modify as desired.
Mobilizing Lotus Domino Content using the BlackBerry JDE
The BlackBerry JDE enables developers to create custom Java applications that run on the BlackBerry device and interface with your Lotus Domino Databases and server-side applications.
