Example: Creating a remote server connection

This example shows you how to create a MIDlet that acts as a web service client interfacing with a remote server. The web service exposes one simple operation (getCapital(String nation)) that takes a country name as a parameter and returns the name of the country's capital.

Note: This example focuses on the client side of the server-client implementation.
