17.2. Network-Based MIDlet Launch
Devices can use protocols from the Generic Connection Framework (GCF) for their push functionality. (For more information, refer to Chapter 15, “MIDP Networking and Serial Communications.”) Launching a MIDlet when a network connection is received is an efficient mechanism to alert users to time-critical information.
Not all protocols are appropriate for use as push connections. Even if a device supports a protocol for inbound connections, the device is not required to use that protocol in its push mechanism. For example, a device might support server socket connections in a MIDlet, but might not support launching a MIDlet in response to receiving a server socket connection.
The three tasks that enable a MIDlet ...
