I’m trying to program in J2ME for BlackBerry.
Initially I want to develop a Proof of Concept application that does something very simple like submitting form data from the device to a server on the Internet.
Now I’ve figured out conceptually what I need to do, but since I haven’t programmed in J2ME before, executing it will take some effort.
I’ve decided to write a MIDlet on the device using J2ME MIDP, and I’ll be using a servlet on the server side to handle the querying.
To begin, I need some help from anyone who has programmed in J2ME, especially for the BlackBerry.
My first question is:
BlackBerry documentation seems to be saying that I have to use the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (Mobile Data Service) in order to connect via http from the device to a server on the Internet. Is this true ? Is there any technique to bypass the BES/MDS and connect directly to a servlet via http ?
Any further general help, especially tutorials and sample codes are greatly appreciated.
I’ll post more questions as the need arises. Thanks much.
