Connecting to server from J2ME

[dhiraj.deka]

I have written a program for capturing an image from a J2ME midlet. Now the problem is that I have to send the captured image to the server.

Which will be the better idea to connect the server either http connection or the UDP connection? And can you tell me how to achieve that to send the captured image to the server?

UDP connections as compared to HTTP connections are asynchronous and therefore lightweight. Since the consumer needs to pay for the GPRS usage charges based on the amount of data transferred from and to the phones, it is best to use UDP for many consumer based applications that are not too much critical in nature. so its depend upon your application and requirment.
and i think below link is usefull to you for how to send data to server.

I have checked that link. But I have got stuck in one problem. I think we will have to send the captured image in http connection as byte array only. Can you tell me how we can convert an image into a byte array?

Or we have to send with other format?
