Thanx for the reply!
My task is very simple:
I have a J2ME KVM and I would to build a fake byte[] that "covers" all
the RAM without creating the real size byte[] array (because of the
limit size heap).
With this byte[] I need to read few hundred bytes from RAM.
Although I'm not familiar with J2ME, it's hard to believe
that a "Java" variant would permit such a thing. It would
completely break Java's security model, and also its integrity
(such a byte[] array could also be used to "poke" RAM, and that
way lies C, if not BASIC).
You've taken one step away from "I must cast byte[] to int"
to "I need to read a few hundred bytes from RAM." Take the
next step: Why do you need these few hundred bytes, and what
do you expect to find in them? That is, stop talking about
the trees and tell us about the forest: What are you trying
to do?
