Yes it is possible. I just finished an app that did this very thing. RMS is the Java API layer that sits on top of the Palm OS's native storage mechanism written in C++ (I think). The RMS API is pretty easy to work with if you're dealing with storage directly on the Palm and nothing else (as would be for a wireless app). It's a whole different story if you're also creating a Conduit app as well.
The Simplicity for PalmOS is a nice tool. It really speeds up application development and does a lot of work for you. The price you pay for that speed, however, is the lack of O-O design. So your satisfaction with the tool will depend on how strict you are with your application design. Hope that helps.

(www.datarepresentations.com) It is a Java based tool like the Suite offered by Palm, except that the Eclipse IDE is replaced by a more specialized IDE. I would like to know how data storage is handled in Java. The term RMS (Record Management System?) is used to create persistent data. This seems to be the way Java will work with Palm OS. But I could not find info about how to access a PDB from a Java app. Has anyone experimented with Java and PDBs? Is it possible to manipulate PDBs from Java?
