Need suggestions regarding the Webservices API in J2ME

[kpvrlakshmi]

Hi All,

According to the requirement, main database is stored in server side and for each request suitable data is selected,
converted to XML and sent to the client. Client has a module to parse the XML content and a module to display the
displayable part of the XML files. In order to implement this one shall I need to use the Webservices API in J2ME.

Thank You.

Hi,

It is depends on how the server is implemented . if they are doing the web services you can use the web services , or Simple thing what you can do is open a http connection to the url and get the xml and parse using your module.

1.Web service API
2.Complete Server Side..
3.XML Parser On the client end

What are you planning to use?
Either the High or Low Level API..?

I guess you are using the XML in order to get the data only from the server, you must read the data from the server and add/represent the same in the form of the XML and send the same to the client.Parse this and use in the app.

What are you sending in XML right now...blank XML?

Hi Raj,
I'm sending the xml file(with content),not the blank XML,for that manually I prepared the XML document,but we have the same content in database,I need to access that content.

You can not directly access the data using the client from the server. you will call the server (A Gentle Request) to have that In turn the server will fetch the data from the DB and will give the same to you.

BTW is that data is different from that you are fetching in XML?

You cannot create the direct database connection using web services from the mobile client, thou can request for data to a Web services running on the server side to fetch the data based on your query from the database and send your mobile client on response.

thanks,
