4.2. CLDC Architecture, Application Model, and Security
4.2.1. Architectural Overview
The high-level architecture of a typical CLDC device is illustrated in Figure 4.1. At the heart of a CLDC implementation is the Java Virtual Machine, which, apart from specific differences defined later in this chapter, is compliant with the Java™ Virtual Machine Specification and Java™ Language Specification. The virtual machine typically runs on top of a host operating system that provides the necessary capabilities to manage the underlying hardware. As explained in Section 3.4.3, “Software Requirements of CLDC,” the CLDC Specification makes minimal assumptions about the capabilities of the host operating system.
