The New and Improved AddressBook Application
The new AddressBook application loads an XML document from a remote HTTP server, parses it, and stores it in the local device database using the J2ME Record Management System. This document is named AddressBook.xml and its contents are as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AddressBook>
<Contact>
<name value="John Doe"/>
<address value="123 Elm Street"/>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<name value="Lisa Smith"/>
<address value="742 Avenue B"/>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<name value="Albert Einstein"/>
<address value="853 Franklin Avenue"/>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<name value="Bryan Morgan"/>
<address value="101 Scenic Highway"/>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<name value="Marc Robards"/>
<address value="741 Highway 101"/>
</Contact>
</AddressBook>
Because the application now has two options for loading the Address database (from local storage or from a remote XML file), we need to change the AddressBook GUI slightly.
