How to download n files once from a midlet ?

[Ould Nadif]

Hi all,

I have developped a midlet that connect to my server.
You have guessed.There are some handset whose size is limited.
To resolve that , I think that I could separate images from code sources.
In the first connection my midlet get the n images.I would like avoid n connections.

How to download n files once from a midlet ?

Hiya Ould,

What you're wanting to do I've seen discussed before.

You would need to create one large image file, which would contain each of your smaller images. I suppose you would have to create the larger image manually.

Your midlet could then download this single file and then extract the data to re-create each smaller image.

Don't know much else about it, but I've seen it discussed on Forum Nokia a few times, so you might get some more idea from there.

Cheers,
James

Thank you for you reply.
I have developped a java application for two plateforms(J2ME and DOJA).
My previous question concern particularly a DOJA application because its size is limited to 30ko.I may meet the same problem with some J2ME whose size limited.
Here is my final solution that I could implement side DOJA:

In DOJA, the URL's size is limited at 10 ko, to fill the scratchpad(its size at 100 ko) I have to realise 10 connetion http.

Hence if the global size of my images is > at 10 ko I have to make more one connection.
To resolve my problem I have to create a block of 10ko.

to make il properly, I send a xml file to describe the file.

<resources nbFiles=3 nbConnection = 2>
<File name=next type=gif size=1000>
</File>
<File name=prev type=gif size=2000>
</File>
<File name= type=midi size=4000>
</File>
</resources>
followed by the n fchiers binaires
