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

An in-depth tutorial on how to use Java 2 Micro Edition to program handheld devices Although Java is one of the most popular programming languages, it is too powerful to be used on wireless, handheld devices like the Palm Connected Organizer. A miniature version of Java, called Java 2 Micro Edition, has now been created by Sun Microsystems to run specifically on these devices. Written by software developer Eric Giguere, this book provides an authoritative treatment of this new language. Readers will learn what has to be done to make Java workable on these devices and what strategies are required to write programs that don't take up too much memory or run down the device's batteries. The book also provides complete coverage of Java Micro Edition, including the profiles that define the capabilities available to various devices. CD-ROM includes licensed versions of the Java 2 Micro Edition SDK, Waba, and Kaffe. Examples are provided that run on multiple wireless platforms.
