Method for obtaining communication settings using an application descriptor
A method of communicating in connection with a MIDlet including the steps of obtaining at least one communication setting from a provisioning document associated with the MIDlet; and communicating, in connection with the MIDlet, using the at least one setting.
1 . A method of communicating in connection with a MIDlet comprising the steps of:
obtaining at least one communication setting from a provisioning document associated with the MIDlet; and
communicating, in connection with the MIDlet, using the at least one setting.
2 . A method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the provisioning document is associated with the MIDlet by the inclusion of an identifier of the MIDlet in the provisioning document.
3 . A method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein provisioning document includes the identifier as the value of APPID.
4 . A method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the identifier includes the value of MIDlet-Name and/or the value of MIDlet-Jar-URL of the JAD of the MIDlet.
5 . A method as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising the step of obtaining the identifier of the MIDlet from the JAD.
6 . A method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising the step of communicating, in connection with the MIDlet, using the at least one setting for over the air communication.
7 . A method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the step of communicating over the air occurs after the JAR of the MIDlet has been received.
8 . A method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the step of communicating over the air occurs in relation to an application provided by the MIDlet.
9 . A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the at least one setting identifies at least an application protocol.
10 . A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the at least one setting identifies at least a network access point.
11 . A method of over the air communication in connection with an application, comprising the steps of:
obtaining an identifier from an application descriptor;
obtaining, from a provisioning document including the identifier, at least one communication setting; and
using the at least one communication setting to communicate in connection with the application referenced by the application descriptor.
12 . A method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the at least one setting identifies at least an application protocol.
13 . A method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the at least one setting identifies at least a network access point.
14 . A data storage medium embodying a computer program for performing the method of claims 11 .
15 . A data storage medium embodying a computer program for performing the method of claim 12 .
16 . A data storage medium embodying a computer program for performing the method of claim 13 .
17 . A method of controlling communication in connection with a MIDlet comprising the steps of:
providing a provisioning document including an identifier from the JAD of the MIDlet and at least one setting for controlling communication in connection with the MIDlet.
18 . A mobile telephone device comprising:
means for obtaining an identifier from an application descriptor;
means for obtaining, from a provisioning document including the identifier, at least one setting for over the air communication; and
transceiver means for over the air communication, using the at least the one setting, in connection with the application referenced by the application descriptor.
