J2ME - Newbie question

[Benjamin Schmid]

Hi NG,

after I've googled now for several hours, I'm more confused then
before. And I thought, what I want to do is a simple every-day
problem.
I want to write an application, that communicates with a palm device,
in this case the m500. Therefore, I neet the following features:
* write/create files from within the palm device to the memory of the
palm
* read this files from within my desktop application.

Most important in my case would be files in xml format. I think this
is a problem many programmers must find when they want to develop
applications that use a palm device. But it seems that there is
nowhere a useful example. If anybody has developped similar things, or
can give me any hint or url, would be a great help.

What I did already: I installed the WTK2.0, build some examples, tried
to install the PDADemo example on my palm and execute it. I get the
error:
can't load javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnector
I think that would be exactly the thing I would need, but it seems not
to work.

Thanks very much in advance for every kind of help,

Bene

Your M500 needs to have a MIDP runtime environment installed onto it.
You can get a copy of IBM's Websphere Micro Edition that's been licensed
to Palm, but I'm not sure how you would get it.

AFAIK, there is no way in J2ME that you can create a file only RMS, for XML
check out the following link

If the handset implements JSR-75 then you can access files on the handset.

I would suggest you to do the transfer v.i.a some intermediate web server,
or if you are going in for MIDP 2.0 you can directly create socket
connection to the computer.
