hello,
you could try the WURFL project which will be adding docomo support shortly.
in european the multiple version approach is stil most popular - even
vodafone live uses an xsl stylesheet per device, per country - they mst
have over a 200 now. the obvious problem is when it comes to change the
templates - dynamic v static.
WURF is at*
http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/index.php
its free to use as well.
this will take care of the device capabilties side. the other side is the
content display. a jsp tag library is currently under developement with the
wurfl to deal with the issues of cHTML/XHTML/WML code translations. a
simple example is <br>. works for web and chtml, but not any xml based
parsing languages such as xhtml or wml.
