About Push Registry

See Also

The push registry allows MIDlets to be launched in response to an incoming network connection. When a MIDlet registers for push notifications, the (AMS) is instructed to listen for incoming network connections and launch the MIDlet, if appropriate.

A MIDlet can register for push connections at runtime using static methods in javax.microedition.io.pushregistry, which would require the user to run the MIDlet manually when the device is turned on.

A more common approach is to register at installation using properties contained in the (JAD) file. This approach allows the AMS to ensure that the MIDlet can be registered, and to cause the installation to fail if there are registration conflicts (for example, if another MIDlet is already registered for the same socket connection).

Each key designation is unique and of the form MIDlet-Push-<n>, where <n> begins at 1 and is incrementally increased with each registration. A MIDlet suite can have multiple push registrations.

In this IDE, you can use the Push Registry page of the Project Properties to add push registry entries to a MIDlet suite.
