hi, I have a question. I have developed some apps for Series60 in C. One thing that is puzzling me today is how to allow users to directly download my applications Over-The-Air to the mobile handsets. It seems J2ME midlets can do that via packaging their class files as JAR or JAD. Can I zip up my C binaries into a JAR file and use WAP-PUSH or OTA download to deliver my application to the mobile? In short, my question is for developers who have developed C application for Series 60, what are the possible ways to deliver my applications to mobile handsets? Thanks | |||

Hi Peter, To actually send your application over the air, what you are going to do is send a WAP push message that includes a URL pointer to your JAR file (or you can use the JAD file, but that's a bit more difficult to use with dynamic URLs). NowSMS can be used to generate the WAP push messages. The actual URL would reside on a separate content server. One additional approach that you can use is the "Multimedia WAP Push" function in NowSMS. You can post your JAR file via that interface, and NowSMS is used as the content server. Of course the other alternative is that users browse to your URL ... but you've generally got more control if you send push messages. -bn | |||
