SYNC DATA WITH MOBILE JAVA APPS

Despite recent declines in industry sales figures, handheld and
application-ready mobile devices are almost universally present among 
corporate employees. That's why developing and maintaining applications
for mobiledevices is becoming a required task for many Java developers.
The question is: How do you do that, exactly?

The key to every mobile application is data synchronization between the
mobile device and a "base" PC or server--a process that Palm users refer
to as a HotSync and Pocket PC users call an ActiveSync. Java provides for
such functions through the General Connection Framework (GCF), a set of
classes designed specifically to accommodate data transfers between two
machines.

Use this outline to learn how to gear up J2ME for mobile duty by
building data synchronization functionality into your mobile applications. 
Find out how to avoid the common HTTP headaches associated with these data
syncs and learn to prevent data loss during transfer between devices.
