(keitai-l) Re: emailing apps to jphone.

I am new here too, anyway,

I don't think that will work but I think you can just make a link and browse
to it.

This is an excerpt from an Oreilly book (very helpful).

Jphone is just straight java and not like Kddi and Ntt who have other hoops
to jump through isn't it.

6.1 Over-the-Air Provisioning
With OTA provisioning, MIDlet providers install their MIDlet suites on web
servers and provide hypertext links to them. A user activates the links to
download the MIDlets to a cell phone via a WAP or Internet microbrowser.
Figure 3-10 shows the steps involved in a typical MIDlet installation.

           OTA provisioning as described in this section is not formally a
part of the MIDP specification at the time of writing, but it is likely to
be included in the next version of the specification. Meanwhile, it has the
status of best-practice recommendation.




The process begins when the user fetches a page from the corporate web site
of the (fictional) corporation ACME, Inc. The page includes a link to a
suite of MIDlets that allow the user to browse ACME's product catalog and
place orders directly from a Java-enabled cell phone. Intrigued by this
prospect, the user activates the link, which causes a request for the target
to be sent to ACME's web server. The link in question would look something
like this:

Figure 3-10. Installing MIDlets using OTA provisioning

<A HREF="Suite.jad">Click here</A> to install the ACME MIDlet suiteAs you
can see, this link points to the JAD file for the ACME MIDlet suite. The
request to retrieve this file is sent by the cell phone's browser (see step
2 in Figure 3-10), but it will be passed to and handled by the phone's
application management software. To enable browsers to easily identify JAD
files, the web server is configured to return them with the following MIME
type:

text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptorOn receipt of data with this content type,
the phone's AMS activates and displays the content of the application
descriptor, so that the user can decide whether or not to install the MIDlet
suite. At this stage, the user has waited only a relatively short time for
the download of the small JAD file. Since this file contains an attribute
that corresponds to the size of the JAR file that contains the MIDlets as
well as a textual description of the services they provide, the user should
be able to choose whether to install them. This is the advantage of
providing MIDlet information in both the JAD file and the JAR file manifest.
