In J2ME application development , the size of the j2me application jar file is very important as the application has limited resources in mobile devices. Below you can see some of the points would help you to reduce the size for the jar. Some points for j2me jar size reduction There are many ways to reduce the size of your wireless Java application. * Keep it simple . Simplicity of design can yield robustness, speed, and efficient use of space. * Recompute rather than store . Recomputing a value rather than storing it for later retrieval can save space. As an example consider the following code fragment: * Choose an elegant data structure to store information . You should always consider your options for a data structure to store your information on the device. * Remove unnecessary classes . One way to "keep it simple" is to review your application design and eliminate classes that are not actually needed. * Reduce functionality and features. Is all the functional...

Struts did a major revolution in the web application development , specially since it is MVC pattern based farmework it gave a lot of structured architecture for java based web applications. Now a days Struts and JSF are competeing each other neck to neck. Both has prons and cons. I'm not willing to compare each other as I'm a fan of both. How ever for you reference Struts vs JSF gives some comparison. J2ME also did major revolution in the mobile application development industry. Currently J2ME has huge market share in thee mobile phone / application market. Going forward, now we can see a combination of Struts and J2ME -- > StrutsME , This enables J2ME clients to call struts based action classes and use struts validators,etc. You can get more information about this from here .

No need to mention , the importance of mobile phone in current era not only for calls but also to enable the access to other service on the move. I have been working on mobile and telco application development for last 6 years with hSenid and it is amazing to see the growth of mobile technologies. We talked about about SMS,MMS, WAP2.0, XHTML,Symbian C++, J2ME......... and NOW Flash Lite. Flash Lite is the latest matured technology which is ready provide rich but light wei ght GUI in mobile phones. I'm sure anyone who is interested in mobile application development would definitly like to know about flash lite. I found a good article , infact a tutorial about Flash Lite in "sony ericsson" web site..... thought of sharing it with you all. Yes.... definitly there will be a bias towards Sony Ericsson, But it is a good starting point. Tutorial link Happy reading.............
