application management software (AMS)
Application Management Software (AMS) is a software application that comes
with the Mobile Information Device Platform (MIDP) implementation and controls
the installation, execution, and
removal of MIDlets by a device.
The specific implementation differs between devices, but in general the AMS
provides the following services:
- Provides methods for installing and uninstalling MIDlets from wireless
devices, either through a serial cable connected to a PC, or remotely through
the internet.
- Provides system resources such as (Connected, Limited Device Connection)
(CLDC) classes, MIDP classes, and the KVM. AMS also makes all the classes
resource files,
and
Java Application
Descriptor
files available to the MIDlet at runtime.
- Handles installation and runtime errors.
