DataBase Connection Using J2ME

CLDC framework, do not support JDBC APIS. To connect to databases from devices t
hat
have CLDC configuration, you can call a Servlet from MIDLets. Connection to data
base,
running the queries and other functionalities need to be implemented in the Serv
let.
Passing the parameters to servlet like username, password can be done from MIDLe
ts.
The example below takes database name, username and password from MIDlet running
on
the J2ME device and passes it to the Servlet. The status of connection is passed
to MIDlet
