To be able to provide Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) content you need a web-server. If this server knows about the Wireless Markup Language (WML)
mime-type you are ready to go. This How-To assumes you have a working webserver and that you know how to configure it. If you need a webserver you'll find one at
http://httpd.apache.org. Read the docs to configure it correctly.
A quick guide to get you going is available here: http://www.kevinboone.com/PF_wap.html
Note the mime-types for J2ME applications. In my Apache webserver these were not included by default. Add these to /etc/mime.types if you're running a
Linux server. Mobile devices will then understand what to do with .jad and .jar files.
To get you going with .wml files i recommend: http://www.w3schools.com/wap/
Setting up your own little wap site should now be a breeze.
You should link to the .jad file when making J2ME applications available. Most devices will not download a .jar file directly. Remember that you'll need
the full path to the .jar file in the .jad file e.g. http://yoursite.com/path/jarfile.jar.
