Compact JADE provides the ability to run a JADE thin client on Windows Mobile devices, including Windows‑based Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).
A thin client running on Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6.0 (or in the desktop emulator) can connect to an application server using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. HTTPS-based proxy servers, including basic and digest‑based authentication to the proxy server, are supported. (The TCP/IP address and port number must be specified in the JADE initialization file. There is no automatic detection of the proxy configuration from the registry.)
For a summary of the differences between a standard JADE implementation and a Compact JADE implementation on a PDA device, see "
