Chapter 24 - JAD Attributes
24.1 JAD / Manifest Attribute
Implementations
The JAR manifest defines attributes to be used by the application management soft-
ware (AMS) to identify and install the MIDlet suite. These attributes may or may not
be found in the application descriptor.
The application descriptor is used, in conjunction with the JAR manifest, by the ap-
plication management software to manage the MIDlet. The application descriptor is
also used for the following:
By the MIDlet for configuration specific attributes
Allows the application management software on the handset to verify
the MIDlet is suited to the handset before loading the JAR file
Allows configuration-specific attributes (parameters) to be supplied to
the MIDlet(s) without modifying the JAR file.
Motorola has implemented the following support for the MIDP 2.0 Java Application
Descriptor attributes as outlined in the JSR-118. Table 31 lists all MIDlet attributes,
descriptions, and its location in the JAD and/or JAR manifest that are supported in
the Motorola implementation. Please note that the MIDlet will not install if the
MIDlet-Data-Size is greater than 512k.
