15 API Support

The Oracle Java ME SDK supports many standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) defined through the Java Community Process (JCP) program. JCP APIs are often referred to as JSRs, named after the Java Specification Request process. JSRs that are not part of the platform are referred to as "optional packages."

The CLDC/MIDP platform is based on the Mobile Information Device Profile and Connected Limited Device Configuration (JSRs 118 and 139).

The IMP-NG platform is base on Information Module Profile - Next Generation (IMP-NG) (JSR 228).

See Table 15-1 for a full list of supported JCP APIs. The Oracle Java ME SDK provides documentation describing how certain APIs are implemented in the SDK. Many supported APIs do not require special implementation considerations, so they are not discussed in this help set. "Oracle APIs" describes Oracle APIs provided to support the IMP-NG platform.

For convenience the Javadocs that are the intellectual property of Oracle are in your installation's \docs directory. The remainder can be downloaded from http://jcp.org.

15.2 Oracle APIs

The IMP-NG project type supports developing applications for the Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.4 runtime. The Java ME Embedded 3.4 runtime includes several standard JSR APIs and additional Oracle APIs for embedded use cases. These new APIs are:

Device Access API

The Device Access API provides interfaces and classes for communicating with and controlling peripheral devices.
Logging API

The Logging API provides a lightweight and extensible framework based on the concepts of the java.util.logging package, enabling applications to log messages in a variety of formats and using custom handlers.
AMS API

The AMS API provides an interface to the application management capabilities of the runtime to allow authorized applications to interact with and extend the application management system.
AccessPoint API

The AccessPoint API is an extension to the Generic Connection Framework and enables applications to select among multiple access points if the underlying platform provides more than one data access point.

The Javadocs for these APIs are in your installation's \docs directory.
