I'm a newbie in mobile applications looking for a convenient way for my users to receive and install my J2ME application. Noting that GPRS/WAP is not a commonplace, I wonder if I can use MMS as a channel --- i.e. to embed the application in an MMS and the recipients can trigger a setup process just just what we can do via email. It would be very helpful if possible. Thanks for helping to give me clues.  | |||

Hi Chris, Personally, I'd recommend using WAP Push, sending out a link for downloading your Java application. You can include Java applications in an MMS message, basically just include the JAR or JAD file as a piece of the MMS message, and the recipient can select to install the application (user interface for selecting it varies by phone). If you include the JAD, of course, the user's phone is going to have to have WAP configuration in place to allow the JAR to be downloaded. So you're probably better off just putting the JAR in the MMS content. Things you need to be aware of, however ... 1.) Size limitations for phones and MMS. Phones generally have smaller limits for size that they will accept via MMS compared to other channels. 300KB is a hard limit for most higher end devices, but many have smaller limits. 2.) Size limitations for mobile operators and MMS. Some mobile operators will not allow you to send MMS messages larger than 100KB. With 2 megapixel (and up) camera phones on the market now, hopefully the operators who had this limitation in place early on have changed, but I haven't heard any feedback about this recently. It was an issue early on. 3.) Some mobile operators block Java applications from MMS messages. The reason for this is that it is a way that mobile viruses can be spread, when mobile users don't really know what they are getting in an MMS message. (See http://www.nowsms.com/newsletter/20050311.htm, where we posted some details about one potential virus, and added capability to our MMSC to block executable MMS attachments.) -bn | |||

Monica, Are you wanting to send them from a PC or from a J2ME application on the phone (I'm guessing the latter)? If the phone supports JSR-205, then you could use that support for sending an MMS. But if it doesn't, then you'd have to implement the protocols themselves, or maybe find an add-on library that supported them. -bn | |||
