Due to the high computational overhead of this operation, however, MIDP VMs do not perform complete bytecode verification at runtime.

Because MIDP implementations should strive to follow the conventions of the device, the application may or may not look like the mock-up.

Put simply, the MIDP Record Management System (RMS) provides a means to store application data that persists across invocations of a MIDlet.

We'll close this series in a couple of weeks, with a comprehensive introduction to network support in MIDP, so stay tuned!

We began with an introduction to the Generic Connection Framework, the foundation for creating networked applications in MIDP.

At runtime, the MIDP VM does a quick linear scan of the bytecode, matching each valid instruction with a proper stackmap entry.

After reading the guide papers of OS and hardware drivers of the set-top box, MIDP's LCDUI part-the graphical interfaces was implemented.

Due to the lack of both XML and cryptographic APIs, the current MIDP 1. 0 specification does not support secure XML standards.

You can find the Nokia UI API documentation on your computer in the doc directory of the 6310i MIDP SDK installation.

The current MIDP VMs can only provide a minimum security sandbox.

We shall use DB2 Everyplace MIDP APIs to access the Address Book database and perform updates to it.

To better support secure mobile code provision, MIDP 2. 0 will also formally include an over-the-air (OTA) provisioning specification.

In this article, we'll mainly focus on the security challenges and solutions currently available or in development for MIDP applications.

Fortunately, several third-party, lightweight XML parsers are available for MIDP applications.

The combination of CLDC and MIDP provides a complete environment for creating applications on cell phones and simple two-way pagers.

The DownloadImage MIDlet will demonstrate the steps to download and display an image in an MIDP application.

Because runtime class verification is computationally expensive for MIDP VMs, MIDP has a special two-step bytecode verification scheme.

In theory, MIDP applications could be secured by the same methods.

It provides a simple API for developing MIDP Jabber applications.

Due to the large number of low-end devices, MIDP is expected to become widely deployed in the future.

Mobile information device profile(MIDP) is an important class library in J2ME technology.

MIDP devices are, however, the most widely used wireless devices, so enabling secure applications on those devices is very important.

Because MIDP lacks a complete security model, some J2SE features are disabled in MIDP to minimize potential security risks.

In this last installment, we'll explore network communication on MIDP, using the Generic Connection Framework (GCF).

The MIDP 2. 0 Generic Connection Framework uses an advanced implementation of the Factory design pattern as its foundation.

Finally, I will discuss performance issues and the feasibility of using digital signatures on current MIDP devices.

Built-in lightweight XML parsing support was originally planned for the MIDP 2. 0 specification, but the plan has recently changed.

In this final article in the J2ME 101 series, you've had a chance to explore network communication support in MIDP.

In addition, the MIDP VM and underlying network must support raw socket connections.

Provides an introduction to the MIDP high-level interface.

In this section, I ll focus on how the Factory design pattern is used in the MIDP 2. 0 Generic Connection Framework.

Due to limited processing power and memory, however, a domain-based security manager is not yet available in the MIDP 1. 0 specification.

HTTPS support will become an official requirement in the upcoming MIDP 2. 0 specification.

The forms client runs on MIDP 2. 0 and Pocket PC devices and supports robust forms applications.

For example, to prevent illegal overloading of core classes, MIDP VMs do not allow user-defined class loaders.

Creating connections in MIDP is very simple.

In fact, even MIDP 2. 0 will not include generic cryptographic APIs.

Name for the device you are editing, such as Nokia 6310i MIDP SDK shown in our example.

But with the help of third-party libraries and vendor support, we have found that we can use MIDP 1. 0 to implement secure applications.

In this third installment in the J2ME 101 series, you've learned how to create and manage data records in your MIDP applications.

Go to the Forum Nokia Tools and SDKs on the Nokia Web site to download and install a Nokia MIDP SDK.

The whole set of MIDP API classes can be broken down into two categories

MIDP programming details are beyond the scope of this article; if you need a refresher, please see the

There are several MIDP 1. 0-compatible Jabber clients or libraries available today
