| Bluetooth® wireless technology is a short-range radio standard that provides new opportunities for wireless devices. This radio standard was designed originally as a way of eliminating the cables currently attached to nearly all consumer electronic devices. However, the goals for Bluetooth wireless technology grew as its designers recognized that it enables a new kind of wireless network between electronic devices.
Recent developments in the Java™ programming language make it possible for Java developers to write applications for wireless devices such as cell phones and personal digital assistants. In 2000, the Java programming community recognized the importance of creating a standard extension to the Java programming language for use with Bluetooth devices. A standard application programming interface (API) for Bluetooth was needed because each Bluetooth software protocol stack had its own API for application programmers. These proprietary APIs meant that a Bluetooth application had to be ported to different Bluetooth stacks to run on different devices. Apart from the work involved in writing the code, interoperability testing on the various devices cost time and money for the involved companies. A standard API would help alleviate all these problems.
A team of experts from across the industry was assembled for this effort under Java Specification Request 82 (JSR-82). The result was a specification for Java APIs for Bluetooth wireless technology (JABWT).
The specification was the result of collaboration of many companies and individuals in the industry. Some helped define the specification by participating in the JSR-82 expert group, and many others contributed by providing valuable comments.
This book introduces and explains to the community of Java programmers the new standard extensions of the Java programming language for Bluetooth wireless technology. |
