Web services had and continue to have a great impact on the development of Web applications because they allow total independence between clients and service providers. The location, the platform, the programming language and the architecture of both the clients and the services has no effect on each other. The Internet technologies and standards that […]

J2ME tutorial – How to create and display forms and alerts
J2ME mobile applications are simple solutions that allow users to manage their data using different controls that are placed in forms, windows or Displayable. In the J2ME API, the equivalent of desktop applications windows is represented by a relative reduced set of forms which are subclasses of Displayable class. The entire framework is a limited, […]
How to encrypt with 3DES – DESede from Bouncy Castle API in J2ME applications
In this post we will see how to use the 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard in EDE mode) or DESede algorithm implementation from the Bouncy Castle API for J2ME platform. The example will use the 3DES lightweight engine to encrypt and decrypt a file managed by a J2ME (MIDlet) application. The Bouncy Castle Crypto API […]
How to encrypt / decrypt with DES from JSR 177 SATSA API in J2ME applications
In this post we will see how to use the DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm implementation, in CBC and ECB modes, from the Security and Trust Services API (SATSA) for J2ME platform. The complete example will use the DES engine (in CBC or ECB mode) to encrypt and decrypt a file managed by a J2ME […]
How to use GPS location services and Google Static Map API in J2ME MIDlets
Today, most mobile devices come with a GPS module or can connect to one using Bluetooth services. These devices come with support for the Location API for J2ME under JSR-179 that allow J2ME MIDlets applications to query the GPS module for geo-location coordinates. Also mobile applications integrate location based services and one increasingly used it […]
How to use kXML to parse XML files in J2ME projects
kXML is a small XML pull parser, specially designed for constrained environments such as Applets, Personal Java or MIDP devices. The problem for J2ME MIDlets is that there are mobile devices that don’t support the XML API for Java ME additional package (JSR 280). In order to solve this problem, we need an independent and […]
How to parse XML, RSS feed with kXML in a J2ME MIDlet
More an more mobile devices are used to access Internet and connected services. One efficient way to transfer data between different platforms and technologies is to use XML files, which are simple text files formatted accordingly to the XML rules. IN order to process an XML file and to extract needed data you need a […]
J2ME tutorial – How to create a simple MIDlet application with NetBeans
The purpose of this tutorial is to present the basic elements needed for mobile Java applications (MIDlets) development. The notions described will be sufficient to build a simple application J2ME HelloWorld application.
How to encrypt / decrypt with AES from Bouncy Castle API in J2ME applications
In this post we will see how to use the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) or Rijndael algorithm implementation from the Bouncy Castle API for J2ME platform. The example will use the AES lightweight engine to encrypt and decrypt a file managed by a J2ME (Midlet) application. The Bouncy Castle Crypto API for Java provides a […]
How to use Bouncy Castle Lightweight Cryptographic API in NetBeans for J2ME (midlets) projects
The Bouncy Castle Crypto API for Java provides a lightweight cryptography API that works with everything from the J2ME to the JDK 1.6 platform. The API provides cryptographic functions for Java JDK 1.1 to 1.6 applications and for J2ME (mobile applications) midlets. The API can be downloaded from the Bouncy Castle latest releases page. A common mistake […]
