To enable the web server to serve midlets, you need to set the following
MIME types on the web server:
-
text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor for .jad files (Java Application Descriptor files)
Besides configuring the web server, make sure the following is done:
-
In the JAD file the MIDlet-Jar-Size attribute must contain the correct size of the JAR file.
-
In the JAD file the MIDlet-Jar-URL attribute must contain the HTTP URL where to fetch the JAR file.
For example, https://www.mobilefish.com/midlets/TestMIDlet.jar
-
Place the JAR and JAD file in a public area of your web server.
Now the customer can download the midlet on its mobile device:
-
On the mobile device, start the Java Application Management (JAM) software and select the wireless installation option.
-
Enter the URL of the Java Application Descriptor (JAD).
For example, https://www.mobilefish.com/midlets/TestMIDlet.jad
-
The mobile device will now download and install the application.
