[dwiper]

When a custom application starts, is there a way to have it check our website for a new version of our .cod/.jad and ask the user to download (no BES server)?

Sure, just implement version checking on your servers, and call this service from the client.

Or...perhaps you can perform a HTTP GET on the JAD file and check ther version here, against the current version number.

Hi Dougsg38p...

i'm new on this... how can I do that?????

excuse me... i dont speak english [como puedo hacer lo que comentas???]

[Dougsg38p]

There are articles related to programmatically retrieving the JAD file in the BB knowledgebase. Tiy can GET the file from your OTA server and parse the version info.

thanks for response...

how I know the version of the jad file that is in the server???
I can know the version of the midlet installed and running with

getAppProperty("MIDlet-Version");

and I can download a new version of the midlet with

platformRequest("url_of_jad_file");

but I need know the version of the "url_of_jad_file" and compare to version installed before download (platformRequest)... for example assign the url to a variable and get the version of the variable but this not exist... how to do???????

please help me

Thanks again....

This article is the same that I comment. With Midlet.getProperty("MIDlet-Version") I can get the version of the midlet installed and running now.

But I want know the version of a midlet that is on server in anywhere. I know the url of the jad file and need know the version of the jad file to compare with the version installed, I may not explaining this well..

I know the installed version but I need the version of jad file in the server....

I'm suggesting that you GET the jad file on the server (issuing an HTTP GET request), then parse it to obtain the version entry.

It's just a CR/LF delimited text file.
