Hi

I have a jad file for a BB app which I want to run on the simulator. When I do a "Load Java Program" it looks for a cod file.

How can I run a JAD file on a BB simulator?

Thanks.

A JAD file is an information file that goes with the COD file that has the software. You should be able to get the COD file from the same place you got the JAD.

I am downloading the jad from an internet location. The cod file is not there. Is there any way to load a jad file into the simulator to run the application?

Open the JAD in a text editor. There will be a value called RIM-COD-URL that gives the location of the COD relative to the JAD. They are usually, but not always, in the same directory.

I got the RIM-COD-URL but the file downloaded from there gives me a RuntimeException.

OK, what does this application do? Not all functions of the device are supported in the simulator.

There may also be multiple COD files listed in the JAD, so make sure you have all of them.

Open the BlackBerry browser, enter the web link to the JAD file in there and your application will be installed on your BlackBerry simulator.
