The FileConnection API specified in JSR-75 gives access to the local file systems on devices like PDA. In order to overcome security issues MIDlet needs to include requested file permission in its JAD file under MIDLet-Permission property.The example below has a file browser to move around the file system, select and read images stored in its local image directory.
