ok guys I solved the problem by creating the connection mechanism in a sperate thread...but now my server is not getting any requests from the client
I have both client running as part of a mobile aplication in Netbeans..and the server created as a tom cat web applications using netbeans too....I run the server first, take its address which is in my case
String url = "http://localhost:8084/Stealth_Server/";
HttpConnection hc = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);

so no communication happening....any hints about my problem ? ..

thanks..

thanks man for ur reply.....well yah this warning appears all the time.
I dont have any error message...but simply after I press Yes or No, nothing happens, I dont get any messages back or even an error. I have my server running at the same machine and no requests recived from the client. so basically after pressing yes the client doesnt send anything. and that aittime charging message doesnt go away.

really stuck on this thing for more than a week...

I hope somebody faced this so he/she can help...

hello ,
I am stuck on this problem for a while I searched the net and couldnt find a solution....I am creating a simple Medlet client and a webserver via Netbeans. anyways the problem is when I try to connect to my server URL which is on the same machine. I get a warning first saying
" Warning: To avoid potential deadlock, operations that may block, such as
networking, should be performed in a different thread than the
commandAction() handler."

well like u see my Client Medlet I have the connection in a sperete function (look below)
anyways when I run the client and once it calls :
HttpConnection hc = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);

I get a wierd question in the gui interface saying "Client want to send and recieve data using the network. This use you airtime and may result in charges.

is it OK to user airtime? "

so I press yes ofcourse , nothing happens...

I tried even using the http connection example used in netbeans and it gives me the same error...

any help is much appreciated..... ...
