BlackBerry Browser Applications

BlackBerry® Browser Applications are simplified, web-based applications that you can use to push web content to the BlackBerry Browser on BlackBerry devices. Developers can create BlackBerry Browser Applications using BlackBerry templates or standard web development tools.

The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service includes a Browser Push Engine that can poll specific web addresses for changes or updates, and push the web content to BlackBerry devices at an interval that developers specify. For example, a developer can create a BlackBerry Browser Application that pushes a web page about the local weather to BlackBerry devices every morning.

The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server supports the following types of BlackBerry Browser Applications.

Type

Description

browser channel push applications

An icon displays on the Home screens of users' BlackBerry devices to indicate whether users viewed the latest version of the web content that the Browser Push Engine has pushed to their BlackBerry devices.

browser cache push applications

The Browser Push Engine pushes web content to the cache of the BlackBerry Browser on users' BlackBerry devices. To view the web content, users browse to the appropriate web address using the BlackBerry Browser.

browser message push applications

A message appears in the message list on users' BlackBerry devices to provide a link to new or updated web content.
