Deploying to Java devices

Deployment using OMA DM:

Bootstrapping Java devices is supported, and Java devices should be able to pick the correct DME client for installation.

Installation and upgrade of the DME client is supported. However, it cannot be silent, and will not work on a HTTPS connection. The user receives a link by SMS. After entering the PIN code, the user must execute the software download link, and proceed with a regular installation.

Installation of non-DME software is supported, but with the same limitations as above.

Deployment using SMS/WAP push:

Both SMS and WAP push are supported. Note, however, that using WAP push for Nokia Series 40 is not recommended, as it can be difficult for the user to locate the received WAP push message. (Note that DME for Nokia Series 40 has been discontinued. Last versions are 3.5 build 1/2.0 build 16.)

When the client is provisioned to the device, the DME server stamps the server path and the device phone number into the .JAD file which is downloaded to the device. A separate server path by SMS is therefore not required (sending the server path by SMS is an option when using WAP push).

Other modes of deployment:

The DME client and other software can be deployed in other ways:
