J2ME Database Handling

I am developing a J2ME application and have no idea how to connect it with the database. I tried it doing, as given in some books but was unsuccessful. I included the following code in the constructor of MIDLET class

String url = "jdbc:odbc:db1";
String userID = "cse1";
String password = "jss";
Statement DataRequest;
ResultSet Results;
Connection Db;
try {
Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Db = DriverManager.getConnection(url,userID,password);
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException error) {
System.err.println("Unable to load the JDBC/ODBC bridge." +
error);
System.exit(1);
}
catch (SQLException error) {
System.err.println("Cannot connect to the database." + error);
System.exit(2);
}
try {
String query = "SELECT * FROM login";
DataRequest = Db.createStatement();
Results = DataRequest.executeQuery (query);
//Place code here to interact with the ResultSet
DataRequest.close();
}
catch ( SQLException error ){
System.err.println("SQL error." + error);
System.exit(3);
}
Db.close();

I included the "javax.sql" package also, but the emulator does not recognise this package and an error message saying that "this package does not exist" .

I would also like to know the use of TOMCAT server while developing a mobile connection or while accessing the database.

plzzz help as soon as possible.

You seem to be having a bit of an architectural issue more so than a java/jdbc problem.

If you do have a JDBC driver and a DB running on the device, you can connect to it... It's unlikely to be a JDBC-ODBC bridge, however. If you have a remote DB, the JDBC connection is probably an expensive way to connect from your device to the DB. Regardless, you have to have at least the database's driver installed on your device.

As far as tomcat: what are you trying to do? Are you trying to create a web application that you can surf on your cell phone? Then, from tomcat's viewpoint, it's the same as developing any other web application, except, when you write your markup, it may not be HTML, but WML or CHTML, or some other markup generated by your JSPs/Servlets. Your web application will be connecting to the DB.

Java Health Center - Overview and Features

This video highlights the features available in Health Center. Health Center is a low-processor and memory usage diagnostic tool for monitoring the status of a running IBM Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Health Center provides live information and recommendations in each of the following areas: - Classes: information about classes being loaded - Environment: details of the configuration and system of the monitored application - Garbage Collection: information about the Java heap and pause times - Locking: information about contention on inflated locks - Profiling: sampling profile of Java methods including call paths

WebSphere MQ Interview Questions

What is MQ and what does it do? Ans. MQ stands for MESSAGE QUEUEING. WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. What is Message driven process? Ans . When messages arrive on a queue, they can automatically start an application using triggering. If necessary, the applications can be stopped when the message (or messages) have been processed. What are advantages of the MQ? Ans. 1. Integration. 2. Asynchrony 3. Assured Delivery 4. Scalability. How does it support the Integration? Ans. Because the MQ is independent of the Operating System you use i.e. it may be Windows, Solaris,AIX.It is independent of the protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, LU6.2, SNA, NetBIOS, UDP).It is not required that both the sender and receiver should be running on the same platform What is Asynchrony? Ans. With messag...

Java Garbage Collection

Explain Garbage collection mechanism in Java? Garbage collection is one of the most important features of Java. The purpose of garbage collection is to identify and discard objects that are no longer needed by a program so that their resources can be reclaimed and reused. A Java object is subject to garbage collection when it becomes unreachable to the program in which it is used. Garbage collection is also called automatic memory management as JVM automatically removes the unused variables/objects (value is null) from the memory. Every class inherits finalize() method from java.lang.Object, the finalize() method is called by garbage collector when it determines no more references to the object exists. In Java, it is good idea to explicitly assign null into a variable when no more in use. In Java on calling System.gc() and Runtime.gc(), JVM tries to recycle the unused objects, but there is no guarantee when all the objects will garbage collected. Garbage collection is an automatic pro...
