DNS TXT Record Lookup with J2ME

[David]

Hi. I'm not a J2ME programmer, but I have a question about what's
possible.

If I wanted to look up a DNS TXT record (as opposed to, say, an A
record or an MX record) in Java, I'd use JNDI.

Suppose I wanted to do the same thing with J2ME running on a mobile
phone, say. How would I do that? I see that MIDP 2.0 has a
UDPDatagramConnection class, but is there anything higher level in
MIDP or CLDC, etc. ?

Thanks!

You have HTTP. Your best bet would be to offload the actual work to a
servlet and just have the MIDlet invoke said servlet and display the result
to the user.
