recently tested one of my J2ME MIDlet applications on a Sprint Vision handset. Once on the handset, the application ran great and I needed to make only a few changes to the code, but I ran into a few snags before I could even get my MIDlet onto the device.
In this article, I detail some of the bumps I ran into, including Web server configuration and caching problems, and I explain the solutions I used to overcome them. I also discuss Over The Air (OTA) Provisioning on the Sprint PCS network and the Java Application Descriptor's contribution to the provisioning process—this little file can provide useful additions for your application that will enhance the user's experience.
