Make a UDP connection from a J2ME Program
This J2ME sample program shows how to make an UDP connection from a J2ME phone.
UDP connections as compared to HTTP connections are asynchronous and therefore lightweight. Since the consumer needs to pay for the GPRS usage charges based on the amount of data transferred from and to the phones, it is best to use UDP for many consumer based applications that are not too mUCh critical in nature. The tradeoff however is the lack of acknowledgement in UDP protocol. This can be overcome by implementing application level acknowledgement if necessary.
This free J2ME sample program illustrates how to make an UDP connection back to a server from the J2ME phone and send data back to the server. The same program can be changed to transfer data between two phones if they have static IP such as in Nextel's phones.
