Shared JAD URLs

20 Shared JAD URLs

Overview

Actually, users are able to download J2ME applications. The first step is to download the JAD file and, after a confirmation, the site is launched to download the application. If they want to forward the JAD link to someone else, it’s impossible.

The Share JAD URLs is a feature that resolves the prior problem, it allows users to share their downloaded J2ME application URLs with others. When J2ME applications are downloaded, the browser shall provide the Java Application Manager (JAM) with the JAD URL address. When J2ME applications are downloaded via PC or MMS, a new JAD attribute shall specify the JAD URL address.

Tell-A-Friend Option

When entering the J2ME application context-sensitive menu, a Tell-A-Friend option will be provided. Upon selecting this option, the standard SMS messaging form will appear. The link to the URL where the application JAD file can be found and its name will be pre- populated into the message body. This allows the user to send messages to friends, telling them where to download the application.

Upon receipt of a Tell-A-Friend message, a Motorola handset user should be able to use the browser’s GOTO functionality. Selecting GOTO will cause the download of JAD to occur. The remaining download steps will occur as normal.
