Enterprise J2ME Developing Mobile Java Applications [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Contents

This book is divided into six parts:

Part I is the introductory material for mobile commerce, mobile enterprise applications, and J2ME. It covers the overall architecture, current status, and future roadmaps of J2ME.

Part II is the heart of this book. It presents several example applications to illustrate the smart client mobile application paradigm, common architectural patterns, and best practices. It covers how to run container-managed applications (e.g., servlets) on PDA devices. It also presents a useful advanced HTTP client library for J2ME clients.

Part III is about mobile messaging. In the mobile world, messaging clients are easy to use and fit into the mobile lifestyle. In the enterprise world, messaging is the best way to build loosely coupled applications that have guaranteed quality-of-service (QoS). This part of this book seeks to combine the best of the two worlds. It covers email and SMS-based end-to-end applications as well enterprise mobile messaging servers.

Part IV discusses mobile databases that are core to occasionally connected and synchronization-based applications. This part covers commercial and open source innovations for mobile databse, synchronization engines, and legacy database connectivity. Two sample database applications from PointBase are presented.

Part V covers how to integrate mobile clients into the enterprise Web services infrastructure. It discusses existing and emerging J2ME XML and SOAP toolkits, specifications and showcases several complete sample applications.

Part VI is all you need to know about J2ME mobile security solutions. It goes way beyond the simple connection-based end-to-end solutions such as the HTTPS. This part covers open source and commercial cryptography toolkits for J2ME. Due to the complexity of cryptography APIs, API tutorials for each important toolkit are provided.

There are two appendices to this book. One of them uses a simple end-to-end MIDP application to illustrate the whole development and deployment cycle. The other appendix introduces the IBM WebSphere Studio Device Developer IDE and provides un-documented instructions on how to install IBM J2ME runtimes on PocketPC devices.
