Push email and SyncML with open source Java ME project
Via Edoardo’s blog: First Java ME Open Source Push Email Client
Congratulations to Funambol team!
The client is based on OMA Data Synchronization protocol (SyncML) and works with Funambol Portal. Any user can configure his identity (email server, phone number) in the portal and receive the emails (in push and in poll modality) on his Java ME device. It will be released under GPL license and it’s open to changes coming from the developers community.
It includes also an awesome collection of Java ME API you can include within other MIDlet suites: a class for Thread Pool management, Serializable classes, an implementation of the Observer/Observable pattern, support for Logging, RMS and XML… and much more.
A few years ago I was working on a PIM project. I got the chance to evaluate two Java open source SyncML projects - Sync4j (now Funambol) and kSync. I read the SyncML: Synchronizing and Managing Your Mobile Data book cover to cover. It is a very good book and seems still the only SyncML book available.
