Screen size in JSP/Servlet

Question

Is there a way to get the client screen size in a web application? I need to write a web application using JSP/Servlets that will be used by different types of clients (I mean cell phones, iPad, laptops, etc.). I read on more links from here, like this ones:

• Detecting Device Type in a web application
• How do I check if the useragent is an ipad or iphone?
• Auto detect mobile browser (via user-agent?)

but taking in account that there is no standard way to detect the device type, I started to think if isn't a better solution to decide the page that will be served based on the screen size.

So, my question: is there a way to detect the screen size in JSP/Servlets?

N.B. I read also about CSS3 capabilities - media queries, but I think that I need something else as long as I will need lesser content in the page in cell phone case. I also think that taking a decision based on the screen size, is an easier choice.

Answer 1

I think that I found the answer to my question. Take a look at this web posting, especially Client-Side Device Detection with Screen Size and/or Device Features paragraph.
