Question on patches

How frequently are the patches published? What is the process to pick the new files.
We plan to use the Java API. Does it support if the data is loaded into DB?

Thanks for the support link. Is there any Java API support to read the data from database instead of xml? I could find only PHP support.

We played with the idea of having a Java version of the DB API, but, frankly, there was never much demand for it.
Also, I am not sure that there is much to gain with having the device data in a RDBMS. In terms of performance, you can hardly beat a API serving device data off-memory.

Can you tell us more about what you are trying to do?

If your problem is simply having the data in the DB in some form, the solution could simply be to store the wurfl.xml in a blob and modify the class that loads the wurfl.xml slightly to read it from there. You have access to the source code and a moderately skilled Java programmer should be able to make this change and plug it in through the Spring Framework.

Thanks
