Abstract: A native application built for a mobile device can embed non-native JAVA code that may be executed by a JAVA virtual machine also embedded as a library within the native application. Enterprise applications may be extended for use by mobile devices. Business logic for an application may be constructed just once and then used in both enterprise applications and mobile device applications.

Abstract: Improved end-to-end server-client communication is achieved, wherein a thin client requests services from a server using a condensed optimized protocol. A mediator is provided on the server, which translates encoded messages from the client into standard web service request formats. Results are re-encoded at the server and returned to the client. A code generator is provided to automatically create optimized and specialized client and server code using templates, in which the code is optimized according to the characteristics of the client and the specified services. Grouped messages are supported. Bandwidth consumption is reduced by the technique, which increases the performance of resource-constrained clients, such as small wireless devices.

Abstract: A method and protocol suitable for mediating communication between an application written in a platform independent language, running on a specific processor or computing platform, and an application written in the processor's native language. As part of the present invention, an application written in a platform independent code may be compiled and/or linked to a first mediation module and an application written in the processor's native code may be compiled and/or linked to a second mediation module The first and second mediation modules may communicate with each other utilizing a stream protocol providing for communication of various data types, including but not limited to function calls, function parameters, function results, and event notification.

Abstract: A developer is provided with an emulation tool, which approximates speed conditions of an application executing on a target device, for example a MIDlet executing on a mobile information device, by matching network operations of a development platform to the lesser performance capabilities of the target device. The developer is thereby enabled to optimize an application's network usage early in its development. The time required to perform communications operations in the development environment is increased sufficiently to permit an application developer to more accurately emulate the target device.

Abstract: An emulation tool is provided, which approximates speed conditions of a MIDlet executing on a target device by matching graphical and computational operations of a development platform to the lesser performance capabilities of the target device. In one variant, the time required to perform primitive graphics operations is increased sufficiently to permit an application developer for the target device to observe graphics operations individually. In another variant optimization of graphic operations during the emulation is accomplished by slowing graphical display operations on the emulation platform by varying its refresh rate.
