J2ME Content Handler API, JSR 211

The J2ME Content Handler API (CHAPI) permits enhanced integration of J2ME applications into a device's application environment and manages the action to handle Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) based on a MIME-type or scheme. CHAPI provides the capabilities for browsers and native applications as well as J2ME applications to invoke other J2ME applications which dynamically extend the media types and capabilities supported by the device's application environment.

CHAPI Technology

Specification:
CHAPI 1.0, (JSR 211): This specification defines a J2ME optional package and associated model permitting the invocation of J2ME Applications to handle actions on Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) based on the MIME-type or scheme.

Reference Implementation:
Application developers who want to test their application against the CHAPI 1.0 RI should download the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit, which includes additional tools and utilities targeted at the development of CHAPI compliant applications.

Technology Compatibility Kit:
The CHAPI technology compatibility kit (TCK) can be licensed from Sun to certify a CHAPI implementation on a specific platform.For more information about licensing terms, please contact Sun's Java Partner Engineering group.
