Overview

This document contains practical information on how to configure the Java platform on an optiPoint application module (via the "Programs" application).

Scope of document

This document describes how to configure your optiPoint telephone so you can install existing Java platform applications and use additional MIDlet applications on your optiPoint application module.

The following topics are not dealt with in this document:

  • Operating Java platform applications on an optiPoint application module
  • Programming Java MIDlets
  • Configuring further applications on an optiPoint application module

For further information on these topics, refer to the relevant documents listed in section 6, “References”.

The information provided in this document contains merely general descriptions or characteristics of performance which in case of actual use do not always apply as described or which may change as a result of further development of the products.

Java platform and Java file types

Java is an object-oriented programming language. It is not dependent on a specific operating system but does require a special runtime environment. The optiPoint application module features a suitable environment (referred to in the following as the Java platform). This technology (J2ME) is also provided on the latest mobile telephones. Therefore you can also run many of the Java MIDlets available on the Internet, for example, on your optiPoint application module.

In contrast to Java Applets, the archive file in Java MIDlets only contains the programming classes that are actually used for the specific application.

Each Java MIDlet includes a *.jad description file and a *.jar archive file.

You must always load the *.jad description file to install a Java MIDlet in the optiPoint application module. The *.jar file is installed automatically with the MIDlet.





For further information on .jad and .jar files, see section 2.3, “Contents of .jad and .jar Files”.

Overview

1.3 Benefits of a Java platform on an optiPoint application module The most important benefits are: ● Flexibility: A Java platform enables you to use additional, customized functions on your optiPoint application module without having to modify the telephone software. You can simply remove applications you no longer need. ● Variety: You can add extra telephone functions (for example, the speed-dialing list in the preinstalled MIDlet), or use general functions such as a calculator. ● Support for standard tools: You can use the familiar, standardized Java programming tools to create your own applications or have them programmed to meet your specifications.
