Can you run a KVM Spotlet on non-J2ME based devices or in regular Web browsers, like an Applet?
Created May 4, 2012
The only exception I am aware of is that you may
be able to run some KVM-enabled apps as applets using
the KVM Support classes provided as a part of the
PipeDream KVM application. Please refer to the
"PipeDream KVM support classes" listing in the J2ME
Archive, under:
www.billday.com/j2me/index.html#Tools
Support is not provided for all CLDC API features and functionality. Please refer to the PipeDream entry for more information.
In real devices implementing the CLDC and KVM technologies, you will likely have one or more Profiles that are also implemented on top of the CLDC. Profiles specify the application environment and User Interface (UI) model and components. For instance, the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) specifies how to write "MIDlets", small Java applications that run on CLDC+MIDP (and KVM) mobile devices. Rather than writing your Java app as a Spotlet, you would write it as a MIDlet to run on these devices.
More information on MIDlets is available from the
CLDC and MIDP specifications, linked to from the
"Specs" section of the J2ME Archive:
