Can the Java Pet Store Demo be extended to support mobile devices?
A. Yes. Sun has recently released the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) Wireless Toolkit to support the development of client software running on cell phones, two-way pagers, and palmtops. The Java BluePrints program publishes guidelines for developing mobile applications using J2ME clients that connect to J2EE application servers. The Java Smart Ticket Demo illustrates those guidelines in the context of an electronic ticketing scenario.
