Hello,
We are planning to test CC/PP with a web servlet and a browser[1].
The CC/PP information can already be sent with the HTTP request in our
browser. We also have implemented a servlet stub that reads the CC/PP
information and makes it accessible. The problem is with the server logic.
The server has to do some magic, to come up with a page which fits the
client. One way to do this would be to have some kind of data structure,
which contains all the different possibilities to render the page,
all of them attached to a CC/PP file containing a profile. From this it
would be possible to some kind of best-fit page to send.
One simple example would be a site consisting of XML files. Every XML page
has, say three different stylesheets (XSL), which are designed for three
different sized displays. Each stylesheet contains, in CC/PP, the size of
the page. When a request comes, we calculate, which stylesheet tranforms
the XML file nearest to the clients device. For this scenario, we would
nead every file to contain a reference to a CC/PP file, or there has to be
some data structure describing the site.
Is there any standardized language for describing a such a site? There are
propably many other ways to do this, which are they. I can imagine that
there has been a lot of talk related to this, but I haven't found
anything. Can someone give me a hint on where to look?
