A Generic SyncML Server

Figure 12-1 illustrates the architecture of a generic SyncML Server. Fundamentally, a Server only needs to implement the SyncML protocols and implement a few applications and data types for compliance and interoperability.

The function of a SyncML Server can be partitioned into three main parts.

  • Protocol Management
