how to provide .jad file download link?

Question

We are trying to provide a download link to abc.jad file in index.html. abc.jad and index.html are both in the same folder. Following is the link.

<a href="abc.jad" type="text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor">download</a>

In spite of these, we are still not able to download this file from the web browser. It always gives the error HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found .what can i do for that Problem? please any one give me the solution .

Answer 1

Sounds like a webserver configuration error to me, and nothing to do with Blackberrys or JADs.

If you can't download a file using a web browser, you need to check out your web server.

Answer 2

Although this is likely a server configuration issue, it is possible that the device is requesting additional files that do not exist.

A JAD file is a Java Application Descriptor (JAD) that J2ME (CLDC/MIDP) applications use to describe the Java modules associated with an application. In the case of BlackBerry applications, a JAD describes a collection of COD files that represent the compiled version of your application. The BlackBerry RAPC compiler compiles to a single COD file, but this file typically contains a collection of other COD files when your application becomes large enough.

Try performing these steps:

• Open application COD in archive application (WinZip, WinRAR, 7-zip, etc)
• Extract all COD files in application COD to same directory as JAD file
• Attempt to download JAD file
