Spring Mobile

Spring Mobile is an extension of the Spring Framework and Spring Web MVC that aims to simplify the development of mobile web applications.

Features

• A device resolver abstraction for server-side detection of mobile and tablet devices

• Site preference management that allows the user to indicate if he or she prefers a "normal", "mobile", or "tablet" experience

• A site switcher capable of switching the user to the most appropriate site, either mobile, tablet, or normal, based on his or her device and optionally indicated site preference

• Device aware view management for organizing and managing different views for specific devices
