MIDP APIs for Wireless Applications

A Brief Tour for Software Developers

Writing wireless applications that run on all mobile phones and two-way pagers has become a lot easier with the recent release of the Java™ 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME™) Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). Applications that run on devices supporting MIDP are called MIDlets. Like applets, MIDlets are controlled by the software that runs them – in this case the cell phone or two-way pager device implementation that supports MIDP and the J2ME Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC). Both CLDC and MIDP have been developed through the Java Community ProcessSM program. More than 20 companies, representing handset manufacturers, wireless operators, and software providers, collaborated to create these specifications. CLDC outlines the basic set of libraries and Java™ virtual machine features that must be present in each implementation of a J2ME environment on highly constrained devices, such as cell phones and pagers. To form a complete environment for these devices, MIDP adds supplementary libraries that provide APIs not handled by the low-level CLDC, such as the user interface, database, and device-specific networking.
