Java MIDlet Support

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone supports the use of Java MIDlets offered by Cisco vendors and third-party
developers. Running Java MIDlet applications directly on the phone allows more sophisticated application
capabilities than with existing XML services, such as animated graphics, custom user interface objects,
advanced network connectivity, and persistent local storage. Because Java MIDlets are an industry standard,
developers can use standard Java development tools for building applications.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager IP Phone Service provisioning and subscription interfaces allow
explicit provisioning of IP Phone Services using the phone configuration file. This explicit provisioning system
allows Java MIDlet applications to be installed and managed on the phone. When a new service is added in
the configuration, the phone downloads and installs it. When a service is removed, the phone uninstalls it.
For more information on Java MIDlets, see the Java MIDlet Developers Guide for Cisco Unified IP Phones
and the Cisco IP Phone Services MIDlet Software Development Kit.
Java MIDlet Startup
You can enable a Java MIDlet to automatically launch when a phone powers on.
For a MIDlet to automatically launch, the phone must subscribe to the MIDlet application. If the phone is not
subscribed to the MIDlet, the automatic launch fails.
To configure a MIDlet to automatically launch, you configure the Idle URL field in the Phone Configuration
window of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration with URL to the MIDlet in the
following format:
<MIDlet URL> -minimize
The
Note
The Idle URL Timer field is not used by the launched URL.
When the phone powers on and registers with the Cisco Unified Communication Manager, the MIDlet
automatically launches and minimizes to the background. The user can close the MIDlet manually while the
phone is powered on. After the MIDlet is closed, the user can manually launch the MIDlet at a later time or
turn the phone off and on to restart the MIDlet.
For more information, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and the Cisco
Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G User Guide.
Example
To automatically launch the WifiScanner MIDlet, configure the Idle URL field with the following information:
http://<ip address>/MIDlets/WifiScanner.jad -minimize
where
must have a space before the hyphen, and there must be no space after the hyphen.
-minimize
is the IP address of the server that stores the MIDlet.
