Deploying MIDlets onto Mobile Devices (III)

9 April 2008

This post explains how to deploy MIDlets from web.

JAD (Java Application Decription files) contains the JAR file name and size attributes. From mobile phone, you will make an HTTP request for the JAR file. In response, you will get the JAD file on to your mobile device. Mobile device have AMS (Application Management System) that will read zthe required attributes and will make another HTTP request to the server for the required JAR file. In response, you will get the JAR file on to your mobile device which actually is the MIDlet.

An example JAD file is given below:

MIDlet-Name: Show Properties MIDlet
MIDlet-Version: 1.0.1
MIDlet-Vendor: My Corporation Inc.
MIDlet-Jar-URL: file://showProperties.jar
MIDlet-Jar-Size: 1132
MIDlet-1: ShowProps, , showProperties
JadFile-Version: 1.5
MIDlet-Data-Size: 500
