Auto update in J2ME !!!

Dear all,

Is it possible to do auto update in j2me. For example, when the user run the application, it connects to server to see if there is new version available. If yes, than first step is to inform the user with popup or alarm. The first step is not a problem. The second step is if the user click "update", for ex, than the midlet automatically download and run the new version? is it possible to do the second step automatically or the user have to go to the website and dload the new version manually ? Have you seen in practice any midlet that is able to do auto update like this ?

Best regards.

i think that i saw it (Oobic app - french company app) .

for me the best way to do an updatable app is to have an xml for the initialisation of the

MIDlet registered in the RMS. this xml will be used to display the MIDlet (the MIdlet creates

graphics components with the xml). after, you can easily download a new config, store it

in the RMS and display the new app

hope this will help you
