Features: Every Java programmer should have a quick reference guide, and this book is one of them. It is a sister book to Java in a Nutshell and Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell, which cover all aspects of the core, graphics, printing, and GUI APIs in the standard Java 2 platform. Additionally, Java Enterprise in a Nutshell (Third Edition) focuses on the Java Enterprise API, which is of particular interest to developers working on server-side or enterprise-level Java applications. For J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition, Java 2 Small Edition) programmers, this book is an indispensable quick reference guide. J2ME is a series of new specifications provided by Sun Microsystems, which defines a compact version of the standard Java 2 platform. J2ME can be used to develop Java applications for resource-constrained devices such as cellular phones, PDAs, two-way pagers, and set-top boxes. This book specifically includes the following content:
· Introduces the J2ME platform and its development environments, such as the Java Wireless Toolkit
· Provides a detailed explanation of the functionality and requirements of CLDC, MIDP, and MIDLET
· Offers an in-depth analysis of MIDLET user interfaces and provides tips on using the MIDP UI API
· Explains how to use the Generic Connection Framework API (GENERIC CONNECTION FRAMEWORK API) to establish wireless network connections on the Internet and introduces the API for using the MIDP Record Management System (RECORD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, RMS) to achieve data persistence
· Briefly introduces CDC and its compact profiles for all classes in various J2ME packages. The book also covers the classic quick reference resources recognized by O’Reilly, including JAVA.LANG, JAVA.IO, JAVA.UTIL, JAVAX.MICROEDITION.IO, JAVAX.MICROEDITION.LCDUI, JAVAX.MICROEDITION.MIDLET, and JAVAX.MICROEDITION.RMS. If you decide to use J2ME, we recommend keeping this book handy as a valuable reference for your programming.
