Connected Limited Device Configuration - A Java ME configuration which provides a standard platform for small, resource limited, connected devices. Two-way pagers, cell phones, personal digital assistants and point of sale terminals are some, but not all, of the devices that may be supported by this.

J2ME Connected Limited Device Configuration. The CLDC serves the market consisting of personal, mobile, connected information devices. This configuration includes some new classes designed specifically to fit the needs of small-footprint devices.

The Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) is a specification for a J2ME configuration. The CLDC is for devices with less than 512 KB or RAM available for the Java system and an intermittent (limited) network connection. It specifies a stripped-down Java virtual machine called the KVM as well as several APIs for fundamental application services. Three packages are minimalist versions of the J2SE java.lang, java.io, and java.util packages. A fourth package, javax.microedition.io, implements the Generic Connection Framework, a generalized API for making network connections.

Connected Limited Device Configuration The most basic J2ME configuration defining the minimal set of Java functionality that can be expected on a J2ME device. The underlying configuration for the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) and the Information Module Profile (IMP).
