Abstract

Java ME framework supports running of applications on mobile and embedded devices like mobile phones. It contains small subset of Java API functions what consequently means limited application functionality. Open-source libraries for calling web services can be utilised in Java ME framework to increase application functionality. The library for support of secure web service calls does not exist yet. The thesis undertakes the development of the Parkiranje application which utilises WS-security protocol for secure handling of web services in Java ME framework. The application Parkiranje is a MIDlet and is based on Java ME framework. The thesis presents the application of WS-Security protocol in Java ME framework and the technologies used for programming of Parkiranje application. The thesis also demonstrates the Parkiranje application in a practical part. Street parking in big cities can be a tricky and time consuming exercise. There is an opportunity to use a mobile phone to speed up and simplify the search of parking space and to facilitate the payment transaction. In the thesis we have developed and implemented Parkiranje application, which will help the driver to find the closest free parking spot, facilitate parking spot reservation and payment transaction.
