Java Development

I am looking for tutorial/article that shows how to write BlackBerry client that calls the web service with Enhanced security.

if it is not possible then Is there any another way to call such web services ?

Any help will be appreciated.

We don't have any BlackBerry specific examples for working with web services in a BlackBerry Java application.  But the BlackBerry does support JSR 172, which is the web services API specification to examples for this on the web should work.

What do you mean by enhanced security?

Thank you very much for your reply.

I mean to say "The web service using Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0 for Microsoft® .NET"

we can easily connect to such web service using C# application but, I want to connect through BlackBerry Device.

You have 3 options for developing a web service client on BlackBerry.

1.  Create a Java application that makes use of the JSR 172 Web Service APIs.

2 & 3.  Create an MDS Runtime aplication using MDS Studio or the BlackBerry Plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio.

I recommend reading section 3 of the page below for an overview.

Thank you very much for your reply.

if we develop an application by using MDS studio then is it possible to add custom menus into native file browser & can we invoke native applications of blackberry i.e. SMS application, Camera application, etc.

Until North America comes on line, you could review the MDS forum for answers to this and other questions that I'm sure you will have:

You are not able to add menu items into BlackBerry applications from an MDS Runtime application. 

The new beta releases of MDS Studio and the BlackBerry Plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio allow you to launch some BlackBerry applications from an MDS Runtime application.  This also requires BlackBerry handheld software version 4.5.0 or higher.
