BlackBerry Java Applications
BlackBerry Applications can range from simple applications, such as a game on BlackBerry devices, to complex
applications with advanced UIs and various options for data management, storage, and network communication.
BlackBerry Java Applications can use a client-only architecture (the applications do not send data to or receive data from a
content server) or they can use a client/server application model (the applications send data to and receive data from a
content server). For example, a developer can create a
BlackBerry Java Application so that users can send data to and
receive data from a central sales database.
