Blackberry and RESTful services

I'm looking to develop a blackberry application to consume a RESTful service. At the moment we plan to develop a REST layer which we will use to perform searches on a back end database and return the results as JSON.

I have used the Jersey framework ( http://jersey.java.net/ ) for 开发者_如何学Goconsuming (and developing) REST layers in the past.

This is the first time we plan to develop such an app for a blackberry. From looking around I'm not sure if jersey is supported on the blackberry for consuming RESTful services.

So I'm wondering could someone offer some advice (on jersey or any other purpose built JARs) for using RESTful services on Blackberry? Otherwise we will have to build from scratch the code for consuming the RESTFul service. Or even use SOAP which I prefer not to have to do if possible.

Thanks, John

Take a look at the JSON.org website, they have lib in Java to parse JSON data(I'v manage to make it work for BlackBerry without to much modifications.

The only thing left to do is a connection to the web service by passing the parameter you need to it. And then parse the response with the JSON lib to rebuild your data model in your native client.

And please don't use SOAP for mobile application.

Please read RIM doc for socket

You can use a httpConnection too
