J2ME(TM) Enterprise Development
Your Java 2 Micro Edition Road Map
Java 2 Micro Edition is a key enabling technology for the current explosion in wireless applications and small computing devices. This hands-on developer's guide shows you how to use standard J2ME packages such as CLDC (Connected Limited Device Configuration) and MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) as platforms for a wide range of enterprise applications. Discussions of J2ME's capabilities and limitations compared with other Java editions help you understand where and how to put J2ME to use. Enterprise-level examples include a detailed, end-to-end solution that demonstrates a portable GUI, data storage, back-end connectivity, and other key aspects of J2ME development.
Put J2ME to Work
* Set up the J2ME application environment and run a sample application
* Target J2ME devices using CLDC- or CDC-based profiles
* Get up to speed on J2ME virtual machines, such as KVM and CVM
* Learn the latest server-side technologies for wireless applications
* Explore alternative designs using J2ME-based messaging technologies
* Find answers fast in a complete MIDP API reference
* Learn to debug MIDlets using the proxy debugger
* Explore enterprise programming in a multitiered environment
* Create a complete enterprise application for MIDP-enabled devices
