WAP content runs on standard web servers.

You're generally just returning a "Content-Type:" of "text/vnd.wap.wml" instead of "text/html".

(Or if you're using WAP2 and XHTML Basic, the content type is "application/xhtml+xml".)

Unless your mobile operator has a "walled garden" that completely restricts your ability to access external sites, there is no need for anything special other than a standard web server with the appropriate content types defined.

I'm sorry, but I don't really have any more detailed suggestions for you, but a good place to start would probably be to download SDKs/emulators from mobile phone vendors. (Try www.forum.nokia.com and www.sonyericsson.com/developer for starters.)
