About this tutorial

This tutorial demonstrates how to access web services using J2ME-enabled mobile devices and the kSOAP (SOAP for the kVM) library. First, you'll develop a sample stock price web service using WSDK (IBM WebSphere SDK for web Services for today's example), and then you'll access this service using a MIDlet deployed in a J2ME environment.

Prerequisites

You must have a knowledge of web services and J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition).
