Download java mobile phone games from your web space

To transfer java games from your computer to your phone without the use of a USB cable can be achieved by uploading the game files on to your webspace and using your phone's WAP capabilities to download them from there. Here's a rough guide describing how to do that.

1) Get MyGame.jar (for example) file
2) Use JADMaker to create a MyGame.jad file if you dont have one (some phones need this)
3) Add MIME types in the directory:
Create a .htaccess file containing these four lines:

AddType application/java-archive                      jar
AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor   jad
AddType text/vnd.wap.wml                          wml
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript                        wmls

(the wml and wmls types aren't really relevant here though).

4) Upload .htaccess, MyGame.jar and MyGame.jad to a directory of your webserver.

Then you can go to that url using your phone's WAP capability and download the game :)

If you are getting "Item Not Supported" errors then make sure you've done step 3 properly (I was getting them on my sony-ericsson T630 before I did that)
