Hello,

I am writing a j2me location based application that reads GPS data
from a serial connection (it is MIDP2.0 app).

I ran into the following problem:
I am using a CommConnection connection type to open input stream to a
serial port. I use something like

commConnection = (CommConnection)
Connector.open("comm:2;baudrate=4800", Connector.READ, timeout);

to open the connection. However, when timeout = true, i don't seem to
get any timeout exceptions, even after 60 seconds. (I am currently
running only on the WTK2.0 emulator).
I would like to have exception thrown if nothing comes from the serial
within a certain time period.

Any help would be appreciated,

Yehoram Shenhar
