CDC mousePressed Bug (in J9)

Question

I have found a horrid bug in IBM's J9 CDC implementation.
The way they have implemented popup trigger is by placing it in the mousePressed event. Since the trigger on PocketPC is to hold the pen on the screen for a "while", this means the mousePressed event is not delivered straight away.
The result of this is that the application does not know when the pen hits the screen, but only at some point later! this makes all kinds of stuff impossible; from signature captures to drawing apps, to custom on screen keyboards... loads of stuff.
It is sounding like IBM does not regard this as a bug but a feature of the platform. I do not agree with this at all, as it is just poorly implemented. If the trigger was placed in the mouseRelaesed event the mousePressed event could be delivered striaght away, and the trigger could be detected from the difference in time beteeen the press and release (providing no or little mouse movement ocurred in the elaped time). This is not a tricky fix by any means.
Anyway, to my point;
Surely the certification for whether a CDC platform is compliant or not should cover obvious things like making sure events happened when they are meant to. After all, mousePressed() is called that for a very good reason! maybe mousePressedSomeTimeAgo() would be better ;)

Answer 1

Hi,
I tried both Socket and Connector.
For Socket take:
        try {
            Socket sock = new Socket("61.31.254.13", 4004);
            OutputStream out = sock.getOutputStream();
            out.write("hello".getBytes());
            // start another reader thread...
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }Exceptions look like:
java.net.ConnectException:61.31.254.13/61.31.254.13:4004 - Operation failed: 10065 (FormatMessage failed: 317)
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unkown Source)
        at java.net.Socket.startupSocket(Unkown Source)
        at java.net.Socket.<init>(Unkown Source)
        ....For Connector take:
        try {
            StreamConnection c = (StreamConnection) Connector.open("socket://61.31.254.13:4004");
            OutputStream out = c.openOutputStream();
            out.write("hello".getBytes());
            // start another reader thread...
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }Exceptions:
javax.microedition.io.ConnectionNotFoundException: Cound not establish connection: (61.31.254.13) 61.31.254.13:4004 - Operation failed: 10065 (FormatMessage failed: 317)

        at javax.microedition.io.Connector.open(Unknown Source)
        at javax.microedition.io.Connector.open(Unknown Source)
        ... ...Please note that the above 2 takes both work when gprs connection is opened manually.
Thanks.
