About MIDP Deployment
See Also
One of the most challenging aspects of developing MIDlets is that while you
create the MIDlet on one platform, such as Linux or Windows, the MIDlet is
ultimately run on another platform, such as a mobile phone or PDA. Deployment is
the process of transferring the MIDP application you develop in the IDE to
a mobile device or to a server for further testing or implementation.
The IDE supports several methods of deployment, including:
- File Copy. Moves the MIDlet
suite files to a specified location on a local system.
- File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Uses the file transfer protocol to move the MIDlet suite files to a remote
server over the Internet.
- Secure Copy (SCP, SFTP). Establishes
a secure connection and encrypts the data before passing the data between
the client and server.
- Sony Ericsson Phone (locally attached device).
Transfers the MIDlet suite files to a Sony Ericsson phone. This deployment
method also enables you to run and debug the on-device application from the
IDE.
- You must have a Sony Ericsson Sony Ericsson (On-Device Debug) emulator
installed to use this option.
- Web-based Distribution WebAuthoring
and Versioning (WebDAV). Moves MIDlet suite
files using the Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocols,
a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows you to work in collaboration
with others to edit and manage files on remote web servers.
