They more and more become information systems clients. Recent developments in the areas of mobile computing, wireless networks and information systems provide access to data at almost every place and anytime by using this kind of lightweight mobile device. But even though mobile clients support the Java Mobile Edition or the .NET Micro Framework, most information systems for mobile clients require a middle-ware that handles data communication. Javas JDBC provides a standard way to access databases in Java, but this interface is missing in Java ME. The MyMIDP project implemented an MIDP-based Java ME driver for MySQL similar to JDBC that allows direct communication of MIDP applications to MySQL servers without a middleware. You can download the GPL licensed driver directly from the project website: http://it.i-u.de/dbis/MyMIDP We furthermore developed a proof-of-concept client. You can install it on your mobile phone by opening the URL http://85.115.9.74/mymidp-gui.jad with your phone's Internet browser.
