midlets on cvm

The cvm is supposed to be a superset of the kvm andtherefore support midp. But can you actually run a midlet on the cvm? Am assuming that you can onlydo this if you have the midlet manager running whichis probably not provided on any cvm environment.

[adospassos1],

Your assumption that MIDP 1.0 is supported by CDC (as opposed to CLDC) is not true. The CDC specifcations supports the Foundation Profile.

Products or devices that implement the CVM will provide a different application manager as compared to the MIDlet JAM application manager simply because these are 2 distinct and separate specifications addressing different device resource constraints.

There are more information on CDC and the Foundation Profile from the usual SUN Java website at:

I stand corrected.

Upward compatibility for MIDP based applications i.e. MIDlets will be provided. This means theoritically, a developer should be able to run MIDlet applications on top of a CVM.

However, the CDC specification (which defines the CVM) is still developing and there is no known commercial CVM out there at the moment as we speak.

not sure what you mean.the final release of the cdc spec is available at http://java.sun.com/products/cdc/and there is a cvm implementation for the VxWorks environment and Linux.
