Some devices enforce their own size limits, while all the carriers have their own size requirements for applications to be released in their deck space. My question is, is there a java obfuscati...
When dealing with mobile clients it is very common to have multisecond delays during the transmission of HTTP requests. If you are serving pages or services out of a prefork Apache the child processes will be tied up for seconds serving a single mobile client, even if your app server logic is done in 5ms.
