These days everyone is aware of vast prospects that are associated with mobile application development industry
. J2ME apps are much more practical than the ones developed on other platforms and perhaps this is the reason why J2ME application development companies are setting new standards in terms of both security as well as features.
J2ME development platform is used by the developers exclusively for smart applications. Smart applications reduce network traffic by storing and processing data locally. This feature not only decreases latency but also conserves valuable wireless bandwidth. This also eliminates the chances of crucial info being interrupted or intercepted.
In comparison to other native platforms, java platform's main strength is that it facilitates the user to develop portable applications. This portability of Java Platform arises from its effective execution model. This is because JVM is used at the runtime, for the processing of Java Byte code, hence providing the hardware top with a compatibility layer. The execution model of this Java platform also offers some distinguished security benefits, which are otherwise absent in device native applications.
In J2ME applications development all the classes that are present in the class loaders are verified to ensure that the applications are not performing any unwanted treacherous operations. J2ME also offers a monitoring mechanism that allows the user to safeguard errors that occur during runtime. It also assists in cleaning up the heaps of application memory and this is done automatically during runtime. The best part is that the use of J2ME platform for Blackberry application development helps in avoiding memory leaks. Memory leaks are in fact one of the major factors that lead to crashes amongst other native applications.
Apart from the other benefits, J2ME platform also provides the user with a sandbox or security manager for the Blackberry applications. Usually, viruses and several other antagonistic codes that are downloaded accidentally from the internet put the applications at serious security risks. But while making use of Java Platform, the user can digitally sign the entire application. The Java security manager allows the signed application privileges to make use of specific domains depending upon the signer's trust level.
