Java Applets on WAP phones

tomED · 2006-12-05 12:42:49

Hi everyone, I think this is the best place to post this message as its more of a developer question rather than a question about a specific phone. Can anyone tell me if a java applet will work on a mobile phone through a wap browser? Thanks Tom

Is that a definite no then?

I wouldn't say absolute definate (there is probably some very esoteric phone out there able to do it), but most phones won't be able to run them. Applets aren't defined as part of the Java ME standard, they're Java SE.
