quick questions:

1. what is everyone doing when it comes to reporting exceptions in a blackberry application? are you logging it, emailing the error, etc? what is everyone's recommendation and what is the most efficient? i am not sure what step to take in this area and i want to make sure i take the most efficient way possible.

2.  i have noticed in some of the boards that people append the "deviceside=false" or "deviceside=true" string at the end of the url. however, i have been able to connect fine to my URLs in my application and i was just wondering if this "deviceside" was more of an option than a necessity. experts, what is your advice?

thank you and have a great day.

1. we have an option to report exceptions via email. Otherwise, it is very difficulat to collect problem determination data from a mobile device.

2. "deviceside" is required for certain situations. It depends strictly on the environment.

When you say " i have been able to connect fine to my URLs", are you refering to the simulator? If so, stand by for sudden aggravation when you move to real devices in the real world.

is there a specific class or method that i can use to send emails then (to report the exceptions)? thanks again for your help.

You create a Message object and send it using the Transport class.

net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Message

net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Transport
