What is the bearer for Java applications? How network dependent are the applications, can they be used without network coverage?
Java applications can be downloaded using the WAP browser over Circuit Switched Data and GPRS connections. Once the MIDlet is downloaded, the application can run independent of network coverage as long as the MIDlet is stand-alone and does not depend on a network component for processing. A MIDlet can also be connected to server resources. This connection is established also over WAP.
