Sun Community Source Licensing (SCSL) - Wireless Messaging API (WMA)

The Wireless Messaging API (WMA) is an optional package for J2ME that provides platform-independent access to wireless communication resources. The WMA Reference Implementation is targeted at devices featuring compliant CLDC and MIDP implementations. WMA enables application developers to build intelligent connected Java technology-based applications that send and receive messages using short message services on GSM, CDMA, and other networks supporting asynchronous messaging protocols.

The Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is a set of Java APIs which, together with the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC), provides a complete J2ME application runtime environment targeted at mobile information devices, such as mobile phones and entry level PDAs.

The WMA specification has been developed through the Java Community Process[sm] (JSR-120) by an expert group composed of companies representing device manufacturers, wireless operators and software vendors.

The J2ME WMA reference implementation is a source code product that is provided for porting to various platforms. In order to ship this product commercially, a commercial use agreement must be entered into with Sun. As part of any commercial use agreement, it is necessary to pass compatibility tests that ensure we all benefit from a standardized Java application environment. The technology compatibility kit (TCK) for WMA can be licensed from Sun separately. For more information about commercial licensing terms please contact Sun's Java Partner Engineering (JPE) group.
