IAP Info API is a Java™ API, where the applications (MIDlets) can access fundamental internet access point group related information. This information includes:
Internet access point (IAP) related information (ID, type, name)
Internet access point group (Destination network) related information (ID, name, IAPs contained)
List of preferred Access Points
Last used Access Point (for TCP socket connections)
IAP Info API was introduced in S60 3rd Edition FP 2.
The API can be used to provide an internet access point or a destination network selection to the end user inside the MIDlet code. The MIDlet can store the selected internet access point or destination network information to be used automatically in subsequent connections.
If the Java application developer knows the internet access point or destination networks deployed to the devices, internet access point or destination network can be selected by name without end user interaction.
The end user cannot change the internet access point during
the same runtime session because only the first use of internet access point
ID in IAPControl in Java HTTP connection matters. The
internet access point ID is parsed, removed from URI and used with all HTTP
connections until the MIDlet is closed. The next use of a different internet
access point ID in IAPControl does not have any effect.
