Sorry, I am not clear but that is because I may have confused myself. Yes, I understand it is a test server, and that is the experience I am not getting. My Test Server is unable to connect to my SMSC. That is after I have completely configured the configuration file as per the documentation. >to help get myself back on your track, what exactly do you expect the SMS test >server to do? I want to have it connect to my SMSC in order for me to test my application in in real world scenario. Till now my application has worked fine on my local pc. > >i can assure you that both the test server/client as well & the SMS gateway >works (in fact the gateway works so well that we "broke" one SMS provider that >couldn't handle cf's output). I would love to get a similar experience. I will even consider giving you access to my test server to see what is happening if you have time to check it. > >> Coldfusion reports a: SMSGateway (SMS RoutoTelecom) Bind operation failed: >> java.lang.NullPointerException (that isn't too very explanatory). >>there should be other messages, what else shows up in the logs?
