2.1 Please describe the proposed Specification:This JSR will define a J2ME profile targeting embedded networked devices that wish to support a Java runtime environment similar to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) version 2.0, but that do not provide the graphical display capabilities required by MIDP 2.0.
- Maintain tight footprint objectives to limit growth in the core APIs - Overtake all functional areas from MIDP 2.0, which are useful for embedded networked devices, on particular - The domain security model, including signing of applications and verification of certificates - HTTPS and secure networking - Network connectivity via sockets and datagrams - OTA Provisioning - Push architecture: external events and messages routed to appropriate IMlets 2.2 What is the target Java platform? (i.e., desktop, server, personal, embedded, card, etc.)The J2METM platform. 2.3 What need of the Java community will be addressed by the proposed specification?This JSR addresses the needs of users of Information Modules (IMs). Such devices include, for example, modems, home electronics devices, and industrial metering devices. Their users want access to a Java runtime environment to ease development and increase application portability; however these devices do not provide the graphical display capabilities or user-input mechanisms required by MIDP 2.0 When outfitted with an appropriate Java runtime environment, such devices become much more broadly and easily applicable, increasing time to market and economy of scale. By basing the Java runtime environment on MIDP 2.0, developer skills and application code can be easily transferred to IMs. 2.4 Why isn't this need met by existing specifications?IMs typically have no user interface, or at most have a primitive one using simple mechanisms such as buttons or LEDs. While MIDP supplies the functionality that IMs need (e.g. networking APIs), IMs typically lack the minimum display capabilities (96x54 pixels) and input devices (a one-or two-handed keyboard or touch screen) required by MIDP. Thus IMs cannot support all the semantics required by the MIDP 1.0 or 2.0 specifications. 2.5 Please give a short description of the underlying technology or technologies:The technology specified through this JSR will derive from the Mobile Information Device Profile version 2.0 (JSR-118). The JSR will create a strict subset of the MIDP 2.0 specification. 2.6 Is there a proposed package name for the API Specification? (i.e., javapi.something, org.something, etc.)APIs used from MIDP 2.0 will retain the naming specified for MIDP 2.0. 2.7 Does the proposed specification have any dependencies on specific operating systems, CPUs, or I/O devices that you know of?Except for the expected absence of graphical display capabilities and user-input mechanisms, the restrictions and prerequisites of MIDP 2.0 will apply. 2.8 Are there any security issues that cannot be addressed by the current security model?No. The MIDP 2.0 solutions will be used directly. 2.9 Are there any internationalization or localization issues?No. To the extent internationalization or localization apply in the absence of graphical display capabilities and user-input mechanisms, the MIDP 2.0 solutions will be used. 2.10 Are there any existing specifications that might be rendered obsolete, deprecated, or in need of revision as a result of this work?No 2.11 Please describe the anticipated schedule for the development of this specification.Community Review in Q1/2004 2.12 Please describe the anticipated working model for the Expert Group working on developing this specification.It is anticipated that a combination of email discussion, feedback on regular drafts, conference calls and face-to-face meetings will work well. 2.13 Please describe how the RI and TCK will de delivered, i.e. as part of a profile or platform edition, or stand-alone, or both. Include version information for the profile or platform in your answer.Stand-alone delivery, on the same platform as MIDP 2.0. 2.14 Please state the rationale if previous versions are available stand-alone and you are now proposing in 2.13 to only deliver RI and TCK as part of a profile or platform edition (See sections 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 of the JCP 2 document).N/A 2.15 Please provide a description of the business terms for the Specification, RI and TCK that will apply when this JSR is final.The business terms are very likely to be similar to those of JSR-195 (Information Module Profile): Section 3: Contributions
3.1 Please list any existing documents, specifications, or implementations that describe the technology. Please include links to the documents if they are publicly available.White paper J2ME (KVM): 3.2 Explanation of how these items might be used as a starting point for the work.The intention of IMP-NG is it to become a strict subset of MIDP 2.0. MIDP 2.0 is a profile running on the CLDC configuration (as IMP-NG also will). The IMP-NG profile is also an advanced profile for information modules, like IMP also is.

4.1 This section contains any additional information that the submitting Member wishes to include in the JSR.
