Downloading Java apps to nokia 3510i(nubie)

[staalmannen]

I want to download java apps that i have found on various places on the internet. I downloaded the two files(the .jar and the .jad file), to my home domain. I can access these file via internet by writing (f.ex.)http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~oddmars/microjava/asteroids.jar. When I try typing this adress via wap, the phone says "Unknown file format". What is wrong?

I think that the webserver hosting the .jar and .jad files needs to be configured so that it recognises the MIME type of the files.

The jad files mime type is text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor
The jar files mime type is application/java-archive

If the webserver is running Apache then you need to add the following lines to the mimes.type file

text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad
application/java-archive jar

Hope this helps
