12 Jul 2007 Using the Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), you can build
distributed applications that communicate using a message-based paradigm. Cell
phones and other Java™ Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) devices can use
Amazon SQS easily with simple HTTP requests. In this tutorial, the third in a
series on creating applications with Amazon Web Services (AWS), discover how to
use SQS from a Java ME device.
Objectives
Learn how to access Amazon SQS from a Java ME-enabled device running the
Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP).
Prerequisites
This tutorial is written primarily for Java developers who are looking to build
Java ME-based applications that use SQS. A basic knowledge of how SQS works is
required, and to that end, I recommend completing
Part 2
in this series before beginning this one. An understanding of Java ME
— particularly the MIDP — is also
required. To use Amazon SQS, you must register with Amazon.com to obtain an AWS Access
Key ID. If you don't already have one, refer to
Part 2 in this series
for information on getting one.
System requirements
To run the code in this tutorial, you need a Java ME development platform. The
code has been tested and developed with Sun Microsystems' J2ME Wireless Toolkit,
version 2.2. To run the examples in this tutorial, you need a computer running
Microsoft®
Windows® XP and the following components:
- Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.4
or later
- J2ME Wireless
Toolkit 2.2
