The design and implementation of the surrogate system for J2ME-devices

The Jini technology is a suite of protocols and class libraries, which supports network-based plug-and-play of objects without configuring software or hardware of devices manually. It is specified for J2SE environment. Therefore, devices which have J2ME-environment cannot directly use Jini service. In this paper, we propose a method that devices having J2ME CLDC can use the Jini technology, present the private protocol and the architecture of surrogate object for J2ME-devices. We implemented and tested to which the J2ME-device is able to use Jini service through surrogate host. Developers can implement surrogate objects of other non-Jini devices easily by using our implementation.
