  APAR PM40602 provides support for running IBM WebSphere
  Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile
  V1.1 on z/OS. The WebSphere Application Server Feature Pack
  for Web 2.0 and Mobile V1.1 provides developers with
  ready-to-use components to extend service-oriented
  architecture (SOA) by connecting web services, SOA services,
  and Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) objects into interactive
  desktop-web and mobile web user interfaces. With this Feature
  Pack, WAS applications developed initially for desktop
  browsers can now be adapted and deployed to mobile devices
  such as smartphones and tablets.  Key aspects of the Feature
  Pack include:
  
      A standards-based programming model for application
  developers: Reliance on industry-accepted technologies,
  including Dojo, Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax),
  Representational State Transfer (REST) Web services, and
  Apache Wink.
  
      Reuse of existing enterprise infrastructure: As a natural
  extension to WebSphere Application Server, the feature pack
  leverages back-end core capabilities through RESTful services,
  enabling easy connectivity between mobile clients and existing
  server-side components.
  
     Leveraging existing skills: Ajax developers reuse their
  desktop-browser experience. No need to learn mobile-specific
  or device-specific programming languages.
  
     Minimizing redesign of applications: Regular desktop web
  applications are poorly displayed on mobile devices and are
  barely usable. The feature pack provides standard-based
  technology to create mobile web content. This is based on the
  distribution of the Dojo Toolkit and REST APIs, offering a
  large collection of core services and user interface widgets.
  
     Easy creation of mobile-friendly content: Resulting web
  sites can be used across different mobile platforms, with
  almost native look and feel. Style sheets for smartphones are
  available to deliver a user experience compatible with both
  mobile device capabilities and the user's expectation.
  
  A feature pack overview for the IBM WebSphere Application Server
  V6.1 Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile V1.1 has been
  provided in the product information center:

  The documentation for the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile
  V1.1 provides information about all supported platforms. This
  document contains new and updated information to help you with
  installing administering, securing, developing and deploying
  your Web 2.0 and Mobile applications.
  
  Take advantage of the capability to personalize the table of
  contents and search results to limit the information that is
  displayed. You can use these to limit the navigation tree choice
  to topics in the Feature Pack to Web 2.0 and Mobile only.
