Dear all,

I've recently built my j2me application using netbeans, it produced .jar and .jad files. And i upload both of them to my website. When i tried to download the application by clicking on .jad file using my mobile phone browser.. it didn't notify install as its supposed to.. it only showed me the content of .jad itself without installing anything to my mobile phone.

Here is my .jad file:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.5.0_11-b03 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
MIDlet-1: game,/vi/img/game.png,game
MIDlet-Jar-URL: http://gameurlhere
MIDlet-Vendor: game
MIDlet-Version: 1.0
MIDlet-Name: game
MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.1
MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-2.0
MIDlet-Jar-Size: 183220
Nokia-MIDlet-Category: Game

i've browser through the internet (the almighty google) and didn't find anything that could solve this problem.. so.. any help is appreciated :)

Have you defined a correct MIME type for JAD files

Should be
text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor

Hello sandymc

Just to add a little more information to what hartti says :)

If you access the Web server containing your JAR and JAD files with your handset, you may find that the JAD file is delivered to the phone as only a text file with its contents displayed as normal text. This indicates that your Web server needs to be configured.

You need to associate specific MIME types to the ".jar" and ".jad" extensions so that the Web server can tell the client which kind of content to expect. In apache, you add the following two lines to the httpd.conf configuration file:


AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor .jad
AddType application/java-archive .jar

You then restart the server and point your handset to the URL where your .jad file resides.

Don't use absolute paths in the parameter: MIDlet-Jar-URL only the name of the jar file if this resides in the same folder.
