首先，必須說明一點：MIDP中規定，任何移動信息設備都必須提供通過http協議的支持，而像其他的通信方式例如socket是設備相關的。有些手機會支持，有些則不支持。這里只大概的說明一下http協議相關的內容，如果不了解這個方面的知識請參考http協議。在javax.microedition.io里面是大量的接口，只有一個connector類，當然在midp2.0里面添加了對push技術的支持，這個留做以后講。connector類提供的重要的方法是open()方法，它的返回值為Connection，你可以對他進行轉換得到你需要的類型，比如我們以http協議訪問服務器。
void postViaHttpConnection(String url) throws IOException {
HttpConnection c = null;
InputStream is = null;
OutputStream os = null;
int rc;
try {
c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
// Set the request method and headers
c.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
c.setRequestProperty("If-Modified-Since",
"29 Oct 1999 19:43:31 GMT");
c.setRequestProperty("User-Agent",
"Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0");
c.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");
// Getting the output stream may flush the headers
os = c.openOutputStream();
os.write("LIST games\n".getBytes());
os.flush(); // Optional, getResponseCode will flush
// Getting the response code will open the connection,
// send the request, and read the HTTP response headers.
// The headers are stored until requested.
rc = c.getResponseCode();
if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
}
is = c.openInputStream();
// Get the ContentType
String type = c.getType();
processType(type);
// Get the length and process the data
int len = (int)c.getLength();
if (len > 0) {
int actual = 0;
int bytesread = 0 ;
byte[] data = new byte[len];
while ((bytesread != len) && (actual != -1)) {
actual = is.read(data, bytesread, len - bytesread);
bytesread += actual;
}
process(data);
} else {
int ch;
while ((ch = is.read()) != -1) {
process((byte)ch);
}
}
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not an HTTP URL");
} finally {
if (is != null)
is.close();
if (os != null)
os.close();
if (c != null)
c.close();
}
}
上面的代碼是我取自API doc（建議多讀一下api doc)。
下面根據自己的經驗說明一下聯網中比較重要的問題：
- 我們應該明白這是如何工作的，手機發送請求通過無線網絡傳輸到運營商的WAP網關，WAP網關將請求轉發到web服務器，服務器可以用cgi,asp,servlet/jsp等構建。服務器處理后會把響應轉發到WAP網關，WAP網關再把它發送到手機上。WAP網關對我們開發人員來說是透明的我們不用管它。
- 如果在你的聯網程序上看不到Thread,Runnable這樣的字眼，那么你的程序是不能運行的。因為考慮到網絡的因素，為了避免操作堵塞。你必須把聯網動作放到另外一個線程去運行，而不能在主線程運行。當聯網的時候提供給用戶一個等待的界面比如作一個動畫界面。我下面提供的例子中沒有用，因為我想把這個單獨出來以后談。
- 通常聯網的應用程序的界面是比較多的，我們使用MVC的模式來實現界面的導航。關于這個方面的說明我以前有文章講述
- 考慮好你想如何傳遞你數據，這一點是非常重要的。你可以用GET方法也可以使用POST方法，推薦后者。因為get方法只能是通過URL編碼的傳輸。而POST更加靈活，配合DataInputStream、DataOutputStream來使用更是方便。必須清楚我們如何接受數據是跟數據如何發送過來相關的，例如在client端writeUTF(message);writeInt(4);writeBoolean(true),那么接受就應該readUTF();readInt();readBoolean();如果發送過來數據長度是可用的，那么我們可以建立一個適當的數組來接受，如果不可用我們就要一個適當容量的數組來接受。
下面我提供一個實例來說明以上的問題，在應用程序中我們輸入任意字符，通過連接server得到響應并顯示出來。server我用servlet寫的非常簡單，只是在受到的內容后面加上“haha”,程序我安裝到自己的手機上運行沒有任何問題，就是GPRS網絡不夠快。Server是tomcat5實現的，關于如何部署servlet的問題超出了本文的討論范圍。我只提供代碼，推薦用Eclipse+Lomboz開發j2ee程序。
package com.north;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
String result = dis.readUTF();
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
dos.writeUTF(result+"haha");
dos.close();
dis.close();
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
doGet(request,response);
}
}
聯網的時候一定按照如下的流程做
- 建立連接，設置傳輸方式推薦POST,設置方法頭
- 打開輸出流，傳輸數據給服務器
- 判斷相應的狀態碼，進入不同流程控制，注意錯誤處理。如果OK則開始接受數據
- 關閉連接和流
下面是客戶端的代碼，對錯誤處理沒有考慮太多。一共是5個class
