Hi all.
I was developing J2ME apps for a long time. Mow Ive a ghallenge to develop aGPS App wich must track transportation vehicles. I never worked with an App wich runs at server side, tracking devices position.
Could somebody lead me to some learning or tutorial materials about this issue?. I mean, write papers, articles or something like that.
Ill thank you a lot by your help.
If you go for HTTP GET or POST you can use any server-side script language (not necessarily Java EE, but also PHP, ASP.NET etc), and you can store the coordinates in an SQL database.
E.g. you can easily access MySQL from within PHP provided your web host has this (which they should).
Dear redsmurph
Thanks by your reply
Im new in J2ME/GPS programming and Im looking for some learning material for such kind of app.
As you say, I can use HTTP for send data from the mobile device to the web server in order to store de GPS data into e data base and then handle it. The received data can be handled at server side in different ways (php, servlets, etc.).
In particular, my question is about the way to send such data from the mobile device to the server. My be running a thread wich, in time intervals captures the positional data, gets a connection and then, posts it with GET/POST?.
regards.
