XML file in j2me application

[kusumat]

Hi,

Is it possible to access xml file directly from java class in j2me application without using servlets.

one traditional way which i know is append xml strings in java class and parsing.


FYI - I am using eclipse.

Hi,

Servlets are only related if and only if the XML file is on some URL on the server and you wanna that XML.IN this case you can use the servlet or any other server side technology which will return you the XML as soon as you hit that URL.

If you dont wanna use servletI in your case) that means you are not planning to use the server side implementation for the XML handling and hence you can either put the XML on the file system of the device or you even can save the xml in the RMS.Please note that the size of the RMS is much limited and depends upon the device.
You can use either of the two which suited to your need.

Hi Kusuma,

Can you give little more clarity about what is your problem ? If you tell clearly then it will be easier to to give the solution.

Hi Bhanu,


I have a j2me app which retrieves xml data using httpconnection.

But i dont want to use http instead i want to get it from an xml file exist in my application only.

And the parsing would same as aml data parsing recieved from server.

Hi raj_J2ME ,

The way you suggested is comprehensive but my requirement is not accessing xml data from device data but from like file exists in application along with .java files in the different package file.

Repeat the post-3 of this discussion.
Why .java files?

Hi Kusuma,

Read the xml file as the an inputstream and construct the string with that input stream, If you have any XML parsers then you can directly give the input stream to the XML parser that parser will handle.

InputStream in = this.getResourceAsStream("/file.xml");

j2me provides RecordStore - in which you can store each line of your application data as a separate row - for more details refer to API doc for RecordStore
Example - http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...re_Data_in_RMS

For writing data to file - you need tp use FileConnection API (JSR-75) and you need user's permissions for the same - hence using RMS is better option.
