Morphis Wax Showcase

Morphis WAX delivers the right content to different wireless devices. Developers need only to create one WAX file, and this will get translated to each wireless device following the instructions for that device in the corresponding application's registry files.

one source ... different displays ...

For example, the devices shown on this image display a rental confirmation page for Wig Video, a dummy video rental store. The source code for each page is device dependent, but they were all generated from a common WAX file that defines the basic skeleton for the page. The Morphis Transcoding customizes the content for each device by filtering the WAX file through an image and/or a text device-specific filter registry. The final translation for each device occurs through XSLT processing using built-in or customized filters.

The WAX representation of this page looks like this:
