Answer 1

What is happening when you click on the JAD file in the BlackBerry browser? Do you have the MIME types for JAD and COD files set properly in your webserver? The following link has some useful tips on setting up your server for OTA installations: http://www.berryreview.com/2007/12/10/faq-how-to-install-a-cod-file-ota-over-the-air/

Answer 2

You just place your jad and cod files onto server and open link to jad in browser (You may use Browser class).

Also look at the RIM Deploy and Distribute guide (section Over The Air).

Dont forget unzip your big compiled cod file, before placing onto server.
