Ive sucessfully got servlets to display messages on a html pages with no real problems.

What I now need to do is get this message to be displayed back to the MIDlet application that requested it.

Has anyone on here done this before?

If so can they point me in the right direction of how I can do this (some example code would be great)

I would assume that it would be simular code to if you wanted to return a message to a normal Java Application.

Thanks in advance.

Darren

Hi,
We've done something like that, writing to the payload on the servlet, and then parsing the response on the midlet.
HttpConnection con;
con= (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url,Connector.READ_WRITE,false);
Then we get the input stream of that connection and parse it as needed.
Pablo.

Hi mate.

After a long investigation I found these tutorials on the Sun One website:

http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/articles/wtoolkit/

http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/articles/tutorial2/

They take you through creating a MIDlet and the Servlet you need to make.

It took me a while to figure out but the responce is actually on a J2ME MIDlet Form with only one word on it.

From here you can develop the MIDlets GUI to be whatever you want.

The stage I am now stuck on is how to send a variable to a Servlet for a method to use???

Hope this helps.

Darren
