Preface
This book provides information on the messaging API which is included in the JSR 120 Wireless Messaging
API (WMA) specification. It also describes Sun Microsystem’s reference implementation (RI) of the API.
Who Should Use This Book
This book is intended primarily for those individuals and companies who want to implement WMA, or to port
the WMA RI to a new platform.
Before You Read This Book
This book assumes that you have experience programming in the C and Java™ languages, and that you have
experience with the platforms to which you are porting the RI. It also assumes that you are familiar with the
Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), the Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC), and the
Connected Device Configuration (CDC).
Familiarity with multimedia processing recommended, but not required.
