Hi guys,

Well I used SpruceTester the other day on the Accompli and was pleased to
see that it retrieves certain pieces information about the application and
the device.

I know that you can use getAppProperty(String name) in the MIDlet class but
this just retrieves from the JAD and the manifest with the JAD taking
priority.

What I want to know is can you detect the CLIENT without using the JAD or
the manifest? The motivation for this is that the application could
reconfigure itself for the particular handset it was running on. This
removes the need for dynamic manifest and JAD writing.

There is a method in java.lang.System.getProperty(String name) but what does
it actually do?

It would be good if you could do the following:

String phone = System.getProperty("Platform");

Can you do this or something similar?

Also, there seems to be no way to iterate thorugh the manifest or JAD
properties. You need to know what you are looking for
before you look for it. This is OK I guess as the manifest and JAD are
supposed to followed the MIDP OTA recommendation but what if you want to add
in additional properties?

Peter
