J2Money Prototype

J2Money is a prototype developed in my spare time starting in 2002. The idea was to learn a little about J2ME and J2EE and to show that Java on cell-phones could be used for something other than games. Many of the ideas in J2Money were developed with Roberto Vitalini.

The J2Money client allows the user of a Java enabled cell-phone to view stock, currency and index values as tickers and as graphs. The user can also register for notification via SMS when a value is not within a given range. The server code includes servlets to provide access to stock information stored in a database.

The following screenshots show the J2Money client running in Sun's WTK using randomly generated data.

The code is separated into two parts:

• • the client runs on a J2ME MIDP 1.0 platform

  • the server runs on a J2EE platform

Both client and server code are licensed under the GNU Public License.
