Deployment with PersonalJava and J2ME CDC
Hi all,
I'm very new in developing and deploying Java Applications for mobile devices. So I'd like to know what possibilities I have to deploy Java Code on mobile devices which runs with PersonalJava or J2ME CDC?
For the J2ME CLDC you have a wide range on Emulators/Simulators, SDKs and IDEs, such like the J2ME Wireless Toolkit, to develop and deploy your MIDlets. On the other side, you have JNLP for the J2SE Environment.
But what about PersonalJava and the C Virtual Machine?
I think it's possible to implement your own JNLP Client that supports PersonalJava 3.1 or the J2ME CDC (Foundation Profile), since you have the Java 2 Security capabilities. Or is this not so a good idea?
Regards,
hans

hans, I suspect you are correct, a lite version of JNLP could, and should be developed for Personal Java, CDC. With mobile, even CDC devices, not always having network connectivity I think Java clients will become very important again. I think it (Java clients) has been somewhat forgotten with all the attention being focused on J2EE (which itself would benefit from some ties to J2ME in the form of a "mobile java container" for lack of a better term) and J2ME CLDC.
If this is the case, and client side Java is revitalized then we need a better way to deploy and update the client. We also need some more framework around network connection context, that depending on the state of the network connection could appropriately modify an applications behaviour, looking to network resources when they are available, and local resources when they are not.
I would love to continue this conversation. Please visit the Yahoo club I just started.

Read the note with the subject "CDC devices when they are not connected", you and I are asking the same questions.
