14 J2ME Wireless Toolkit User’s Guide October 2004
FIGURE 11 The application menu, again
Run via OTA is an extremely useful mechanism that makes it easy to install your
MIDlet suite on the toolkit emulator. Some features must be tested using this
technique, including the push registry and the installation of signed MIDlet suites.
If you want to test your MIDlet suite on a real device, you’ll need to install it first.
How this happens depends heavily on the device you are using. There are two
likely possibilities:
You can deploy the application on a web server, then transmit the application
from server to device using the Over the Air (OTA) protocol described in the
MIDP 2.0 specification. This is most likely the same mechanism that users will
encounter when they go to purchase or install your application.
You might be able to transfer the MIDlet suite to the device using a Bluetooth,
infrared, or serial connection. This is quite a bit simpler than running a web
server, and although it won’t give you any insights into the process of installing
your application on the device via OTA, it allows you to see how your
application performs on the device.
2.3.3 Run
Once the application is installed, running it is simple. Just choose the application
from the list and choose Launch from the menu.
