Hi All

I cant make a SocketConnection in my program, i dont understand why because in the API it's not a problem...
I try to import this:

import javax.microedition.io.SocketConnection;

And do this:

SocketConnection se;
try {
sc = (SocketConnection) Connector.open("socket://localhost:5000");

si.setText("Connected to server");

[shmoove]

import javax.microedition.io.SocketConnection

I don't remember seeing this interface around...
Most J2ME implementations today don't support sockets. Http is the only protocol that's supported across all platforms.

That's not it!
If you check out the API for Wireless dev. from sun, you will see that it is possible to create a SocketConnection.

Thanks any way :O)

it may or may not be possible. A socket connection will work from the Sun emulator but, as shmoove says, not on many phones. The Connection framework can support many different protocols, but HTTP is the only one that is required by the specification.

Thank's for the help.
My conclusion is too to create a HTTP connection.
Thanks again!
