Mobilize Your Java Applications with Java ME Technologies

his article walks through creating a Java mobile application for a J2ME-enabled mobile camera device. While it does not cover all of the neccesary aspects in depth, it does describe how to build the basic structure for the application. The completed Java mobile application will enable the user to do:

1. Take a picture.
2. Fill out a form to provide some information about the picture.
3. Send the picture and information to a server as data.

Then the mobile application can access this data on the server, allowing the user to view and edit it later. A possible use case for this application would be an insurance adjuster in the field assessing an auto claim. The adjuster would use a mobile camera device to take a photo of the damage, add vital information to it (client name, account number, VIN, date, etc.), and send the data to a central server at the insurance company.
