Connecting phpmyadmin and BlackBerry application (Eclipse)

Question

Well long story short, my application needs to connect to the database in the web to collect information about login details and stuffs. I found out that I can use either JDBC or a webservice but the thing is, I dont believe that we can use JDBC in BlackBerry or if we can it would be very complicated, CMIIW so I had to use a webservice. Can anyone please elaborate what should I exactly do? I got the basic concept but completely blank on what to do? Where should I create the webservice and how do I connect it to the BlackBerry application and Phpmyadmin? Thank you in advance

Answer 1

On the server:

1. Install MySQL
2. Install PHP
3. Make a php-script that gets POST- or GET- request, connects to MySQL, processes return values and returns xml.

On the device:

1. Connect to the created php-script, make POST- and/or GET- request and process received xml
