1 :: What is WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)?
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a protocol for transmitting data between servers and clients (usually small wireless devices like mobile phones). WAP is analogous to HTTP in the World Wide Web. Many mobile phones include WAP browser software to allow users access to Internet WAP sites.
2 :: What Are The Signals Transferred In GPRS?
GPRS is 2.5 generation of GSM. Radio interface is same as GSM. so i think it also uses the same frequency band and moulation. i.e 900/1800Mhz,GMSK modulation.
3 :: wsp to http witch part will convert in wap?
Actually there is a getway called wap getway works like a converter. it converts wsp request coming from ME to http to access the internet.
4 :: Can I use cookies with WAP?
In theory, yes. However, not all WAP handsets will support them. Another approach to session management is to use hidden form fields containing session identifiers (either in the header using the 'POST' method or in the URL using the 'GET' method.)
5 :: Do I need a WAP gateway?
No. Not necessarily. If you want to serve up simple WAP content, you can use an existing web server (and just change the MIME types). A mobile will connect to your server through a WAP gateway located in their mobile operator's network.
However, there are some advantages to hosting your applications on a WAP gateway - since it is part of the mobile network. You can have access to information like the mobile's number, identity, and possibly location.

6 :: Can I use Java Servlets to produce WML pages?
Yes. You can create WML in exactly the same way that you create HTML. If you have written your servlets to produce WML, just remember to set the MIME type correctly:
response.setContentType("text/vnd.wap.wml");
response.setContentType("text/vnd.wap.wml");
7 :: Does WAP run over GPRS?
Yes, it can do. GPRS is a new over-the-air service that transmits data packets to hand-held devices. It will allow much faster WAP transmission than currently available over SMS or CSD when using GSM.
8 :: How secure is WAP?
One of the layers of the WAP stack, known as WTLS, provides encryption and authentication for server-to-client security. This prevents fraudulent access to WAP transactions and opens the way for e-commerce- and intranet-type applications.
9 :: Is WML case-sensitive?
Yes! And be careful, because WAP v1.1 uses lower-case tags.
10 :: What bearer types are used for WAP in GSM?
In GSM, WAP can be run over the Short Message Service (SMS) or via Circuit Switched Data (CSD). The latter provides much greater bandwidth.
