Abstract :
Mobile technology applications have proven more interesting and more capable with each passing year, and continue to be a technology with new surprises. In this paper, we present a software development for weather report which is motivated as a cell phone programme application for web service. Users can get the latest weather information without accessing to the specific weather website. In addition, weather information can be deployed on any cell phone with internet explorer. Web Services, MIDlet programming is the technology applied in this paper. Weather report is designed as a two-tier structure, web application server and client. Web services are generated and published on the web. On client side, user, on the MIDP platform, can interact with web services with the agreement on SOAP protocol. In this paper, how to deploy web services, and the differences and constraints of MIDlet programming are presented.
