XFormsJ2ME

Xfolite is a light-weight XForms client for the J2ME platform.
It includes a DOM and XPath 1.0 implementation as well as an
XForms engine that implements the XForms 1.1 specification
almost completely. XML Schemas are not supported.

To compile the code, you need to install J2ME Polish
(http://www.j2mepolish.org/, tested with version 2.1.4) and
Apache Ant (http://ant.apache.org/, tested with version 1.8.0).
The build command is "ant j2mepolish" to make a release build
and "ant test j2mepolish" to make a debug build. "ant clean"
will remove files created by the two previous commands.
See J2ME Polish documentation for more information on the
build process.

This is a research prototype, and the code maturity level
varies by component. The DOM and XPath 1.0 implementation
and the XForms engine are fairly mature, whereas the user
interface binding (com.nokia.xfolite.client,
com.nokia.xfolite.client.ui) is beta level at best - suitable
for research and limited user trials, but production use
would require more work, both for adding missing features
and for making existing features more robust.

The package structure is as follows:

com.nokia.xfolite.client
Client midlet and UI factory and controller that bind the XForms engine to a J2ME Polish based UI.

com.nokia.xfolite.client.ui
UI widgets used by the client midlet.
