This paper describes MobJeX, an adaptive Java based application framework that uses a combination of pre-processing and runtime support to provide transparent object mobility (including AWT and Swing user interface components) between workstations, PDAs and smartphones. Emphasis is placed on the mobility subsystem (MS), a mobile object transport mechanism providing a high level of transparency and portability from the perspective of the system and the developer. The MS is compared to its most
