Overview

The Java Smart Ticket sample application shows how a wireless enterprise application might be designed and implemented with Java technology.

In this fictional movie ticketing application, customers may perform the following functions using a mobile device:

• Create an account with which they can sign on to the application
• Browse personalized listings of theaters, movies, and showtimes
• Reserve seats and purchase movie tickets
• Rate movies they have seen

In version 1.2 of the application, a disconnected mode of operation was added, providing the following enhancements:

• Downloading (persistence) of movie listings to enable browsing offline
• Caching of movie listings to speed up browsing online
• Synchronization of movie ratings so that users may enter movie ratings from different devices or different types of clients (e.g. mobile devices, desktops, laptops)

In version 2.0 of the application, a MIDP 2.0 user interface was added. Because version 2.0 is distributed for early access, this user interface is not final.
