Make an application available on a web server

Before you begin:

Verify that the following MIME types are configured on the web server so that users can download and install applications on devices:

  • .cod files: application/vnd.rim.cod
  • .jad files: text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor
  • .jar files (optional): application/java-archive

Obtain the .jad files and .cod files or .jar files for the application from the application developer, vendor, or wireless service provider.

  1. Create a web page that you can use to install the application on devices.
  2. Copy the .jad files and .cod files or .jar files to the web server that hosts the web page.
  3. Send an email message to users to provide them with the web address for the web page that you created.
