Hello little helpers,

I'm working on an application for synchronizing contact data from diverse sources (e.g. outlook, mozilla, ldap ... and MOBILE PHONES) and thats where the dog is burried. I first thought getting information from a mobile phone would be easy using syncML, but at second sight i realized that there is obviously no API for syncML available (up to now). There is currently work going on and its called jsr230 an interface to the mobile phones native ressources that provide the syncML functionalities, but its in an really early state (long before any preview could expected). So i had to come back to my intuitive thoughts about retrieving the desired contact information, and thats somehow accessing the address book. I do ?know? the standard J2ME API's do not include such things, because mobile phone are so different, am i right? Now i'm getting forward to my question, is there a way of accessing the address book? (beside going into native programming, i would do, but it must work for many types of phones and PDA, so that's no option) Or has anybody heard about an API getting access to .. you know? Or does anybody know a way of using syncML and java?(after all i would prefer this .. okay just dreaming) When answering to the syncML question you should know that i would use obex for transporting the syncML code not http, because normally the users PC is not a with public IP and not accessible by http? On the other two questions the transporting of data is solved and no problem, too. I'm just sitting scared at this address book thing.

Thanks a lot for helping and responding
