<div><p>Before you begin developing ToolboxME for iSeries™ Java™ applications, you need to understand
|
||
|
|
the following concepts and standards that govern such development.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME)</h4><p>The
|
||
|
|
J2ME is the implementation of the Java 2 standard that provides Java runtime
|
||
|
|
environments for Tier0 wireless devices, like personal digital assistants
|
||
|
|
(PDAs) and cell phones. IBM<sup>®</sup> Toolbox for Java 2 Micro Edition adheres to this standard.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|

|
|
<div class="section" id="microconcept__tier0"><a name="microconcept__tier0"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Tier0 devices</h4><p>Wireless devices, such
|
||
|
|
as PDAs and cell phones, that use wireless technology to connect to computers
|
||
|
|
and networks are referred to as Tier0 devices. This name is based on the
|
||
|
|
common 3-tier application model. The 3-tier model describes a distributed
|
||
|
|
program that is organized into three major parts, each of which resides on
|
||
|
|
a different computer or network:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>The third tier is the database and related programs that reside on a server,
|
||
|
|
often a different server than the second tier. This tier provides the information
|
||
|
|
and the access to that information that the other tiers use to perform work.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The second tier is the business logic, which typically resides on a different
|
||
|
|
computer, typically a server, shared on a network.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The first tier is generally the part of the application that resides on
|
||
|
|
a workstation, including the user interface.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Tier0 devices are often small, portable, resource-constrained devices,
|
||
|
|
like PDAs and cell phones. Tier0 devices substitute for or complement the
|
||
|
|
functionality of devices on the first tier.</p>

<div class="section" id="microconcept__configurations"><a name="microconcept__configurations"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Connected Limited Device Configuration
|

(CLDC)</h4><p>A configuration defines a minimal set of APIs and the necessary
|
||
|
|
capabilities of a Java virtual machine to provide the functions
|
||
|

expected for a large set of devices. The CLDC targets the broad set of resource-constrained

profile represents a set of APIs built on an existing configuration that
|
||
|
|
target a specific type of device or operating system. The MIDP, built on the
|

CLDC, provides a standard runtime environment that enables you to dynamically

deploy applications and services to Tier0 devices.</p>
