7 JAD Attributes 7 JAD Attributes JAD / Manifest Attribute Implementations The JAR manifest defines attributes to be used by the application management software (AMS) to identify and install the MIDlet suite. These attributes may or may not be found in the application descriptor. The application descriptor is used, in conjunction with the JAR manifest, by the application management software to manage the MIDlet. The application descriptor is also used for the following: • By the MIDlet for configuration specific attributes • Allows the application management software on the handset to verify the MIDlet is suited to the handset before loading the JAR file • Allows configuration-specific attributes (parameters) to be supplied to the MIDlet(s) without modifying the JAR file. Motorola has implemented the following support for the MIDP 2.0 Java Application Descriptor attributes as outlined in the JSR-118. The table below lists all MIDlet attributes, descriptions, and its location in the JAD and/or JAR manifest that are supported in the Motorola implementation.

JAD Attributes
JAD / Manifest Attribute Implementations
The JAR manifest defines attributes to be used by the application management software
(AMS) to identify and install the MIDlet suite. These attributes may or may not be found in
the application descriptor.
The application descriptor is used, in conjunction with the JAR manifest, by the application
management software to manage the MIDlet. The application descriptor is also used for
the following:
•
By the MIDlet for configuration specific attributes
•
Allows the application management software on the handset to verify the MIDlet
is suited to the handset before loading the JAR file
•
Allows configuration-specific attributes (parameters) to be supplied to the
MIDlet(s) without modifying the JAR file.
Motorola has implemented the following support for the MIDP 2.0 Java Application
Descriptor attributes as outlined in the JSR-118. The table below lists all MIDlet attributes,
descriptions, and its location in the JAD and/or JAR manifest that are supported in the
Motorola implementation.
