Push messages that automatically launch a Java mobile application
Pushing messages to a mobile device from a server and automatically forcing a pre-installed application to wake up and do some processing is sometimes important for an enterprise mobile application. Java Micro Edition applications that use Mobile Information Device Profile 2.0 can have this feature using the push registry, with Short Message Service (SMS) used as the protocol for pushing messages, and, in this article, Srijeeb Roy shows how.

Beginning J2ME: Building MIDlets
In this article, an excerpt from the book Beginning J2ME (Apress, April 2005; ISBN: 1590594797), authors Jonathan Knudsen and Sing Li explain how to build and run a simple MIDlet.

Secure data files embedded in MIDP applications
Developers developing standalone MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) applications often face the dilemma of securing data distributed in the JAR so other people cannot steal and use it to create a competing application. The Java Community Process is introducing new Java Specification Requests to address this issue. However, these approaches rely on cryptography computation that is CPU intensive and not backwards compatible, and hence not portable to phones that don't support the new APIs. They are also overkill for independent developers looking for a simple mechanism to thwart copyright thefts, not necessarily to bulletproof their data. This article describes a way to compress and protect data in a MIDP application.

Get ready for advanced multimedia on your Java mobile platform
Released to the public in draft form in April, the Advanced Multimedia Supplements Specification aims to provide a mobile platform with rich audio and video capabilities. Developers will be able to program to an API allowing them access to cameras, radios, image processing, and advanced audio effects, all on a resource-constrained device like a mobile phone or PDA. The Java Community Process recently voted this specification as the "Most Innovative JSR for J2ME." This article gives a brief tour of the API from the developer's perspective.

Java readies itself for wireless Web services
Convenience is the major motivation behind our adoption of wireless technology. The ability to access information anytime from anywhere drastically increases our productivity as well as our quality of life by allowing us to work from home, car, school, or vacation resorts, and manage time more flexibly. Besides the unprecedented convenience, a wireless Internet also improves the quality of the information services. By taking advantage of wireless devices' pervasive nature, you can dynamically customize information services for each user based on her location, mood, or other real-time data.

Sync up Palm OS with J2ME
Have you used any standalone applications for your mobile device lately? Probably not; most applications would be useless without some communication to the outside world. For example, doctors and nurses now use their PDAs to obtain the latest medical information stored in databases residing on the Internet. Also, a variety of handheld devices offer real-time securities-trading software. In short, handheld devices provide a portable way to view information that changes day-to-day, hour-to-hour, or minute-to-minute.

A recipe for cookie management
While developing a universal email client offering single-point access to all major Internet mail services, Web-based or otherwise, I found my application often had to act as a mini Web browser to interact with mail provider Websites. I stumbled upon the same need for Website interaction while developing XML Web service implementations to facilitate machine access to Websites. These sites often use cookies for state management—that is, to maintain user session data. In both cases, I realized that most Website interaction logic dealt with cookie handling. I also noticed that although both applications performed cookie handling, the logic was quite different and not interchangeable. In response to these limitations, I set out to develop a lightweight general-purpose library devoted to cookie handling. In this article, I share this library with you.

Java takes off into wireless space
Wireless Java was all the rage at this year's JavaOne. Companies like Motorola, Nokia, and Sprint PCS were all sporting their latest Java-enabled phones, deploying Java applications in areas like games, healthcare, transportation, law enforcement, and more. With the promise of more than 100 million Java devices distributed by the end of this year, JavaOne 2002 has shown that Java is truly taking off in the wireless space. But Java, specifically Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME), is not without its challenges.

Java Tip 123: Dial into the wireless world
This tip uses a phone book example to show how to build, configure, and run a simple wireless application. The example demonstrates connectivity between a WML (Wireless Markup Language) client device and the Tomcat Web server through a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) gateway. It also shows how to serve up a static WML document, and make an interactive request to a JSP (JavaServer Page) received from a WML client.
