rom the earliest days of J2ME, network connectivity has been a central focus of the design. So much so that a generic architecture, referred to as the Generic Connection Framework (GCF), was created to standardize not only how applications create network connections but the associated connection interfaces device manufacturers must implement. The GCF is a fundamental part of J2ME and is available to all application profiles including Personal Profile and the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP).
