Hi Joel, well at least I�m not alone on this stuff. The CDK conduit development kit can be found and downloaded from palm developers site, the files I've downloaded are:
palmcdk402a.exe cdk402-docs-win-pdf.zip CDK includes conduit development for Java, C/C++ and COM, JSync is the Java part of it. There are some good samples about updating palm data or downloading palm data. As you can see it's an exe file, so there are some dll's behind. Unfortunately, CDK examples mostly work with existing palm applications like memopad, and no custom applications info is there, i.e. they work with an existing palm database, and there�s nothing explaining how to create your own MIDlet data base, I've not solved yet this point, but still trying. Regards! PS There are communication problems writing to your account, so I replied this message to the entire forum, hoping you'll receive it. -----Mensaje original----- De: Joel Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviado el: jueves, 16 de mayo de 2002 15:27 Para: EDS Ortiz Macedo Sergio Asunto: Re: Do i need to create a pdb file? Ortiz, We are doing the same thing as you, and are at the stage of developing the conduit. Where did you find the sample (Java, I assume) code, to implement a conduit? Does this work with the Palm Desktop? I was assuming that there may be some additional DLL's involved. What about JSync? how does that work? Is that what you are using?
