J2ME™ Enterprise Development
Your Java 2 Micro Edition Road Map
Java 2 Micro Edition is a key enabling technology for the current explosion in wireless applications and small computing devices. This hands-on developer's guide shows you how to use standard J2ME packages such as CLDC (Connected Limited Device Configuration) and MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) as platforms for a wide range of enterprise applications. Discussions of J2ME's capabilities and limitations compared with other Java editions help you understand where and how to put J2ME to use. Enterprise-level examples include a detailed, end-to-end solution that demonstrates a portable GUI, data storage, back-end connectivity, and other key aspects of J2ME development.
