Does anyone know how to change the Icon and Application Name details for this. Have opened up the ALX file in the BlackBerry JDE and changed the name here, but this does not work.

Reason I need to look at this is because some users would need two ECL apps pointing to different notes db's

Cheers

You'd need to recompile the .cod files so that two different versions could be installed. You cannot have multiple files of an application with the same name on a BlackBerry.

OK thanks for the info - will give it a go

Problem solved I think - Many thanks for the help.

OK its kind of getting there. 1st of all im a major newbie to Java, currently just a screen of text to me so apologies.

Domino environment with BES 4.1 is my current playground.

I have looked at both the code for the ecl.nsf and the source files for the device app.

Wonder if anyone has tried to create a seperate app for two distinct db's

In the code for the Device application there is a reference in the pusheddatalistener file with a Listen URL of http://:911

In the domino database ecl.nsf I have spotted a similar reference in the Domino ECL push library Action "protected int getDevicePort() { return 911;}

Now I could find no other similarities ie a pointer from the Device app to the ecl.nsf domino db file, this is what I thought would make sense to look for.

So with the above information I have recompiled the Device cod and alx files as well as the ecl.nsf with a number of 912 - in the hope that this was the link between the two. I made sure that the device app also had a different name "contactlist" and the dom db became ecl2.nsf

On running the New App on the device i get a msg "error starting contactlist:module 'contactlist' attempts to access a secure API'

In addition to this I have noticed that the original ECL app on the device, now contains the data from the new database.

So back to the drawing board - but thought would post in case anyone else has either attempted this or is perhaps considering doing similar.

Cheers for now
