The invention relates to a method for determining the priority of a management object in a device management system comprising management object data in a management tree for maintaining the arranged device management server and management customer device. The contents of sub objects included in at least one management object of the management tree are determined, and thereafter the management server determines a data element comprising the priority data of the sub objects in relation to other sub objects. The data element is attached to the management tree maintained by the management server, and a file definition according to said management tree is sent to a management customer device. The management customer device deassembles the file definitions into management tree form so that the priority data shows the priority data of the sub objects in relation to the other sub objects.

Priorization of management objects

A system and method for facilitating mobile terminal access to a particular network application available via multiple application servers on a network. An application identifier corresponding to the network application, and associated application access parameters including an application server address of one of the multiple applications servers, is embedded into provisioning information. The provisioning information is transmitted to at least one mobile terminal in connection with a provisioning procedure. The mobile terminal is provisioned to facilitate access to the network application via the application server identified by the application server address provided with the provisioning information.

System and method for identifying and accessing network services

The invention relates to methods for managing state information associated with user agents in systems utilizing the wireless application protocol. According to the invention, the user agent indicates in the header information of a WAP message such as a request to the cookie proxy that the user agent currently has a session having associated state information, when the user agent has received header information indicating the presence of a cookie during the current session. This informs the cookie proxy that it should continue storing the cookies associated with the current session. When the cookie proxy receives for the next time a WAP message without such indication, it can assume that a new session has started, in which case the cookie proxy can discard all cookies bound to the previous session unless certain parameters of certain cookies explicitly indicate that they should not be discarded at that moment. Further, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cookie proxy can indicate to the user agent that it has no cookies associated with the current session. The invention allows the synchronization of the user agent and the cookie proxy.

Synchronization method

A method of starting a session in a synchronization system. The maximum size of a message that is to be sent from a synchronization server to a mobile station for the request, and coding instructions, by which at least one of the identifiers can be coded into a bit sequence requiring substantially fewer bits than its ASCII presentation, are determined in the synchronization server. Decoding instructions, by means of which the original identifier is obtained from the bit sequence, are determined in the mobile station. When the purpose is to transmit a request indicating the need for starting a session to at least one mobile station, a message is formed, is shorter or as long as the maximum size and includes the pre-selected identifiers, at least one of which is presented as a bit sequence defined according to the coding instructions. The mobile station forms a session initialization message on the basis of the information included in the message received from the server, at least part of information being defined from the received bit sequence according to the decoding instructions.
