Best way to transmit data

Question

Hi,
I have an application which uses HTTP requests to send and receive data from a C server.
On the server I have an array of structs, the information in which is changed frequently.
I want to be able to send (on request) the data in this array to the phone. It is all Strings so I was going to delimit each entry and send it that way so the mobile client could Tokenize it. But as I now know, MIDP doesn't support StringTokenizer.
What other methods could I use to send the data?
Thanks,
Bacchus

Hi,
I made an attempt at my own StringTokenizer class using indexOf() and substring() but it doesn't seem to work. I wondering could ye take a look at it and maybe see where I'm going wrong.
Thanks,

public class StringTokenizer{
String textToTokenize;
String delimiter;
String token;
int pos, nextPos;
public StringTokenizer()
delimiter = null;
textToTokenize = null;
token = null;
pos = 0;
nextPos = 0;
public StringTokenizer(String textToTokenize, String delimiter){
this.textToTokenize = textToTokenize;
this.delimiter = delimiter;
pos = 0;
nextPos = 0;
public boolean hasMoreTokens(){
if( textToTokenize != null )
nextPos = textToTokenize.indexOf('?', pos);
if ((textToTokenize.substring(nextPos)).startsWith("?"))
System.out.println("SubString: " + token);
return true;
else
return false;
else
return false;
public String nextToken(){
nextPos = textToTokenize.indexOf('?', pos);
token = textToTokenize.substring(pos + 1,nextPos);
pos = nextPos;
System.out.println("Token: " + token);
return token;
}
