Needed API Features

I am using the Blackberry Bold 9000 for my Ph.D. research.  I do have some needs that if at all possible, they could be built into the API's.  I need a direct API call to set user Profile setting.  I would also like to see if there would be a way to execute java "scripts" as text, such as the VB eval statement.  Another feature I would like to be able to do would be to enable and disable the camera. I am doing research in the area of Software Adaptability and I am new to Blackberry development.  I do have a pretty extensive backgound in java, but have not used it much lately for work, but have used it in graduate school projects.  Does anyone know if the features I have mentioned above are already in the API, as I have not been able to find them?  I do know that using key injection can get around the setting the profile to "quite" and back to "normal" but a direct API call would greatly furhter my research, as would all of the features I listed.

 

Thanks

Re: Needed API Features

 

Would that mean we dont have any device level api's to Enable or disable Camera settings ( may be in BB 6.0/7.0)  ?? 

 

Is it only enforcable through BES IT policy.

Re: Needed API Features

There is a camera API, but you can forget about directly accessing profiles via API - this would violate BB's security model. Not sure about your question regarding javascript - my guess is that you would have to build this yourself.
