J4ME GPS can't recognize A-GPS in Windows Mobile

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have tried J4ME to access internal GPS device (A-GPS) example. On my
phone, Nokia N78, J4ME works properly. But, when I tried on Windows Mobile
5/6, the sample program can't recognize the A-GPS. Anybody can help me how
to solve this?

thank you,

This is because the JVM on Windows does not support JSR-179 (the Location API). 
 To
my knowledge there is no Windows Mobile JVM that has JSR-179.

I had your problem and wrote Location Source
(http://code.google.com/p/location-source/) to get around it.  However, it is 
only
implemented for IBM's JVM.

What it comes down to is mapping Java calls to the Windows Mobile GPS 
Intermediate
Driver API (which is in C).  The Location Source code contains 98% of the code
required to make this work since it has the Java and C code written.  However 
-- and
this is a big however -- that last 2% is the killer.  It varies from JVM-to-JVM 
and
may not even be possible.  It is the part that loads the native C library (what 
is
System.loadLibrary in J2SE).  Beyond that you also need to figure out where the 
.jar
and .dll should go to get loaded by the JVM.  Again this is all done for IBM's 
JVM,
but not for any other.

According to the esmertec site (the maker of the JVM on my HTC Touch Pro 
(WM6.1))
JSR-179 is supported (http://www.esmertec.com/43.html). I haven't tested this 
so I
don't know if it works. I have read on forums that this is not the case.
