| Hi,
I am trying to port MIDP specification on to a target device.
As per my understanding :-
#1
I found that there is a component called Application Management System (AMS) in
MIDP.This component loads , installs , lists , updates Java applications
called MIDlets.
#2
Similarly at the KVM level we have something called as Java Application Manager
(JAM).This component loads , installs , lists , updates Java applications.
Now what I want to know is, why did the Java guys have two systems (AMS)
and JAM doing the same thing.(atleast almost the same thing).
Is my understanding correct or have I goofed up?
Thanks,
Sudeep

No. The AMS installs and manages updating and deleting MIDlets. The rest is
done by the JAM.

The JAM handles initiating and making lifecycle calls to the MIDlets. The
rest is done by the AMS.

It is completely false . I advise you to go read the Specifications on the Sun microsystems. It is the Java Specification Request 118 of the Java Community Process. It is the official implementation of J2ME...
I let you read the extract below :
"The term Application Management Software (AMS) is a generic term used to describe the software on the
device that manages the downloading and lifecycle of MIDlets. This term does not refer to any specific
implementation and is used for convenience only. In some implementations, the term Java Application Manager
(JAM) is used interchangeably."
it comes from the MIDP2.0 specification...
So All your questions on J2ME and Kvm have answers on the Site of Sun microsystems
