Comment on A few facts about PasswordKeeper by Narciso Cerezo

Hi mkamthan,
You should post support requests at the forums.
It seems to me that you are trying to run it from the jad file, but it is not pointing correctly to the jar file.
The jad and jar should be in the same folder, and the jad should just contain the name of the jar, without any path.
It could also be that you are applying obfuscation to the jar but it is not properly set and it is also obfuscating the midlet (changing the class name). To check that you can open the jar with any zip manager such as winzip or file-roller and check if the folder main/passkeep exists and contains PasswordKeeper.class.

Hi!

I am using Netbeans 6.0 IDE for running the PasswordKeeper application.
It compiles properly and when I run it, it launches the emulator but on launching the application the error it displays is:
Unable to create MIDlet main.passkeep.PasswordKeeper
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: main/passkeep/PasswordKeeper
at com.sun.midp.midlet.MIDletState.createMIDlet(MIDletState.java:156)
at com.sun.midp.midlet.Selector.run(Selector.java:150)

Can anybody please help me out.

Regards,
Mayank.

Comment on OpenBaseMovil - portable J2ME database applications by Narciso Cerezo

Hi Paul,
The answer is yes, it is an on-device/on-board relational database engine for any CLDC 1.0 / MIDP 2.0 mobile device, that stores data over the RMS system.
And, yes, it works with Nokia S40 devices.
Though with this kind of phones the current version 3.0.1 has some limitations due to the device limits. Nokia S40 devices, like BlackBerry or Motorola impose a limit on the size of a single RecordStore. This size varies from 32Kb up to 512Kb, depending on the phone model.
The current version detects this situation and applies compression, but it still is limited.
The next version that we plan to release on June will override this limit so you can create tables as large as needed.

In any case, OpenBaseMovil-db is one (important) of the many things you can find in OpenBaseMovil. It is a development framework with many utilities for making your mobile development a lot easier.
Take a look at the Quick Start Guide and the PasswordKeeper sample application in the downloads section.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I’ve been looking for sometime for a way to get persistent storage from a database on a Nokia mobile phone. I’ve checked out DB4O and other dbs but none seem to work on MIDP/CLDC devices yet. So I appear to be stuck with RMS, which is not that great for accessing data.

I’ve stumbled across your site and am not clear whether your product provides an on-board database on a mobile phone or is it just linking to a database on a server? If it provides an on-board database sounds just like what I’ve been looking for - amazing. If that’s the case does it work on Nokia S40 devices?

Thanks

Paul

Thanks, this is a very useful start. I now have a compile and invoke cycle running on JavaSE. Next stop J2ME!

By the way, the downloadable zip file for OpenBaseMovil-bmscript does not contain the tools folder, but bms.java and bmsc.java can be downloaded directly from SourceForge.

Thank you Dandus,
We’ve already created Spanish and German sections in the forums, thanks to the collaboration of Stefan Haacker on the German side. He will be the moderator for the German forum, and he will translate also the resources in the openbasemovil libraries to German.
We thought that the easiest way to start were the forums and the resources. Then could come the documentation, and afterwards an specific site for each language ( es.openbasemovil.org, de.openbasemovil.org, etc. ) but this last step requires more effort and better mutual knowledge.
Send me an email to find the best way to collaborate.
