Thanks for the info.

I have been trying to connect my Pocket PC v4.2 via Pocket IE to a networked application on a server that requires Java 1.4.2 on the client.

The closest I came was when I used NetFront 3.2 and the screen came up blank and did not ask for Java 1.4.2

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Give a try to Thunderhawk. Unfortunately, the "traditional" (Jeode/CrEme) PIE plug-ins are both 1.3 only.

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

Unfortunately I have the same problem
as outlined here.
I must open an application
on Pocket PC from a Java application
running with IBM J9 VM.

So, I tried everything to make this
work with
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...);
but I reached nothing by trying this.

Does anybody know if there's a small
.NET- or Win32-App for PPC which like runs
a socket which takes the path of
an application and executes the
application it?

Even more complicated: the application needs to open a certain
file. I know that the application
is able to open a certain file when
you pass the path of the file as
first parameter on command line...

So are there any hints on how to
accomplish that?

"Does anybody know if there's a small .NET- or Win32-App for PPC which like runs a socket which takes the path of an application and executes the application it?"

What did you mean by "runs a socket"? Simply executing an external application? Or, does it listen to incoming TCP/IP requests by keeping a server socket open?

If plain execution is what you meant, you may also want to give a try to nScriptm, a free, great scripting solution for the Pocket PC. I've published some examples of using it to execute external applications here and here.

As far as I can see, you have to run a
script (some *.ns ressource) with
nscriptm. So how can I run a script
from within Java on Win Mobile?

My idea was to implement a little app
which which listens on a
certain port for requests. When a
request arrives it takes the first
argument and tries to execute it (if
this is possible on Win Mobile, I'm
a bit insecure about this now).

Or is there a more elegant version
to start an application? This is a
pure workaround to have communication
from Java with Win Mobile (apps).

That's it.

Thanks,

Java is too heavy-weight for this task, RAM/CPU usage-wise. Besides, it doesn't seem to work.

The best wayt to do this is either native eVC or .NET.

If you, however, want to give nScriptm a try (so that you can avoid using the much more complicated eVC or purchasing isual Studio). It supports both server socket listening and conditional execution - as with any decent programming language/function library. See http://s-k-tools.com/freeware/nsen.txt for more information.

nScriptm looks quite cool. seems
to be a wrapper for visual c++.

Have to
see how to bind a socket server to a
certain port and open an app
parameterized. script seems to look like this:

for serversocket:
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP)
bind(soc, sockaddr_in);
listen (soc, backlog);
accept (soc);
recv (soc, &buf, len, flags);

for app-execution:
Shell (appName, fileToOpen, pathToApp, style);

I have to put my code in a file with
the extension "ns", right? And I
have to register the extension "ns"
with the registry before...

You can register the .ns extension in the Registry (by using Resco Explorer or MyExtension) - but you don't have to. You can just create a direct link to ns.exe, passing the .ns file as parameter to be executed.

Not strictly to do with the topic, but the error message you received when trying to run IBM J9 PE? Do you know what caused it?

I am getting the same error, but I am not trying to open an enternal resource, a web application or re-directing a browser. I am trying to open a small app that merely accesses the PPC2003 API.
