Access denied when I try to access a jar file

[dousseau]

I'm trying to send a jar file via mms but when I try to access it, it returns me a message of 'access denied'. But when I try to reach an image in the same directory (and try to send it instead of sending the jar file), I can access it properly and mms is sent.
I thought it could be a matter of permision or maybe I just need to sign my midlet. But I've already tried to self-sign it and it didn't work. I'm using JME in an E50.


I get an error in this line:
FileConnection fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open(path, Connector.READ);
where 'path' are defined as:
String path = System.getProperty(photos) + "Sokoban1609.jar";
and 'photos' as:
private String photos = "fileconn.dir.photos";

I tried to reach my jar file in the photos directory, I don't know if there is any problem...

I think (but am not sure and didn't check) that .jar files are not accepted/allowed as MMS content ( as per the MMS Conformance Document, if my memory serves me right; latest version probably somewhere on OMA, Open Mobile Alliance web site, http://www.openmobilealliance.org ).

Petrib,

Jar files (application) are acceptable in a MMS, MMS specification allows that (you have to use application/java-archive MIME type).

Example: sony ericsson w200i receives it and installs it.

So this is a fact (we've already tested it).

My question is about sending it using a E50 (Symbian s60), is it possible to create a java (JME) app to send MMS (with .jar files attached) in a Nokia device (E50)? The major problem is that our jme application can't reach this kind of file (.jar) ....

[dcrocha]

.Jar files in Nokia platforms are part of the Closed Content List (CCL), which specifies media which cannot be forwarded via MMS, Bluetooth, Infrared or e-mail.

Therefore it's not possible to send them via MMS, either from the standard user interface or via Java ME.

http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n..._0_en.pdf.html appendix A for a list of files protected automatically.

Please also note that self-signing midlets doesn't work on Nokia devices, either.
