Hi

can i write individuell Java J2ME application for a handy with SAP mobile?

You cannot write any J2ME hello world application for SAP Mobile.

with SAP MI, you have an advatage of writing business application.

if you intending to write a sample MI application, they are avaibale in MDK samples.

Unlike a J2ME application, in MI app you will need J2EE and ABAP stack. and quite a landscape.

Where are the advantages?

you can not compare two different things when there is no camparison between MI & j2me mobile application. the only common thing is that they run on mobile

hence difficult to know which one is advantageous.

MI apps are written for business purposes. say you want to implement Asset Management scenario.

J2ME apps are generally light weight app, where you can implement app like gaming, utility (scanner wedging application , GPS apps).

hope you undertstand the difference now.....

Hi,

if your individual application has nothing to do with loads of backend data or Backend(SAP or non SAP). then simply go for j2me application.

its all about data, maintainability, cost, maintenence. which are very easy for j2me applications.

<u>look at this Q&A, this will give you a better idea:</u>

MI supports Windows Based mobile devices. PDAs, Laptops...

Limited Linux based devices.

Platform Availability Matrix (PAM) at http://service.sap.com/pam > NetWeaver. After selecting your current release, you will see all detailed information about all platform properties of all NetWeaver components including MI.

An MI-centric view of the same information is also available at http://service.sap.com/nw-mobile > Mobile Infrastructure > Mobile Infrastructure in Detail > Platform Availability Matrix.

you can use SAP MI:

http://service.sap.com/swdc

J2ME needs:

Mobile device with JVM installed. and you can start building applications.

MI needs:

Client devices with JVM, and Mobile development kit (available in sap portals)

middleware servers (Web AS) which has Java& ABAP server

Backend SAP or non-SAP which hasfunction modules written in ABAP.

suggest you go through the links provided by Rahul ans check waht MI is all about.
