New J2ME developers are often surprised to discover that the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and the profiles based on it are not required to support the reading or writing of files. The Generic Connection Framework (GCF) defined by the CLDC does provide the basic scaffolding for file I/O, primarily through the InputConnection, OutputConnection, and StreamConnection interfaces, but it's up to specific implementations to expose this capability to applications. It allows the CLDC to be ported to devices without a file system. If a file system is supported, however, it would be nice to have a standard way of using it through the GCF. This is the purpose of the File Connection Optional Package.
