How to run a cod file, generated through Netbeans, on a real Blackberry device?

[konkimalla]

I am using Netbeans 6.5 and configured it to add a blackberry platform using the following link:

http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/blackberry.html

The cod file is generated and the app works in Blackberry 9530 (storm) simulator. However, with just the cod file I could not load the app in the real device. The device recognizes only *.alx or *.ali files.

First of all can I load an app using just a cod file? or do I need to follow a different approach to form *.alx or *.ali files.

I would really appreciate any solutions.

I figured out myself. You just need to have a alx file, which is just a loader file. Then you place the alx file and cod file in a folder and using desktop-blackberry connectivity load the alx file and app gets deployed.

The contents of alx file should be like this:

<loader version="1.0">
<application id="name">
<name >
name app
</name>
<description >

</description>
<version >
1.0
</version>

</loader>
