BlackBerry Client Object API

Describes solutions and examples for tasks and uses of the Sybase Unwired Platform BlackBerry Client Object API. The Client Object API enables you to customize mobile business object data flow and handling for the BlackBerry device application.

To generate Client Object API Javadoc, select the Generate JavaDoc option when generating mobile business object (MBO) code.

• Client Object API Javadocs
  Use the Sybase Client Object API Javadocs as a Client Object API reference.
• Connection APIs
  The Connection APIs contain methods for managing local database information, establishing a connection with the Unwired Server, and authenticating.
• Synchronization APIs
  You can synchronize mobile business objects (MBOs) based on synchronization parameters, for individual MBOs, or as a group, based on the group's synchronization policy.
• Query APIs
  The Query APIs allow you to retrieve data from mobile business objects, to retrieve relationship and paging data, and to retrieve and filter a query result set.
• Operations APIs
  Mobile business object operations are performed on an MBO instance. Operations in the model that are marked as create, update, or delete (CUD) operations create instances (non-static) of operations in the generated client-side objects.
• Mobile and Local Business Objects
  A business object can be either local or mobile. A local business object is a client only object, and is represented by the LocalBusinessObject interface. A mobile business object can be synchronized with the Unwired Server, and is represented by the MobileBusinessObject interface.
• Personalization APIs
  Personalization keys allow the application to define certain input parameter values that differ (are personalized) for each mobile user. The Personalization APIs allow you to manage personalization keys, and get and set personalization key values.
• Object State APIs
  The object state APIs provide methods for returning information about the state of an entity in an application.
• Common APIs
  In addition to Object State APIs these APIs are available with each mobile business object.
• Security APIs
  The security APIs allow you to customize some aspects of connection and database security.
• Utility APIs
  The Utility APIs allow you to customize aspects of logging, callback handling, and generated code.
• Exceptions
  Reviewing exceptions allows you to identify where an error has occurred during application execution.
• MetaData and Object Manager API
  The MetaData and Object Manager API allows you to access metadata for database, classes, entities, attributes, operations, and parameters.
• Replication-Based Push Synchronization Applications
  BlackBerry devices support sending push requests through HTTP. Sybase Unwired Platform supports push configuration and notification handling APIs for BlackBerry HTTP push.
