Re: MX 6.1 and Sending SMS Messages
1. How do I install the jar file on our server?
You need to upload the jar file to the server, and place it on ColdFusion's
classpath (/{cfroot}/lib/ will work).
2. The code you provided looks good and simple (which is what I'm looking
for!). Will it work with the OpenSMPP jar file, or will I need to change
the methods to ones that are in OpenSMPP?
The example code I provided was for OpenMarkets / Simplewire's API. If you
are using the SMPP.jar you will need to use it's API. There is a sample
java application at
http://opensmpp.logica.com/CommonPart/Download/javatest_1_1/smpptest_full.zi
p that you can look at for reference to what you need to do to utilize it.
I have not worked directly with the OpenSMPP API so I can't help to much
there, but if I can get some time over the weekend I'll see if I can
translate that java test app into CF.
Good luck!

Rich and anyone else who's listening :)
I have been successfull in creating objects from the SMPP.JAR classes with my
coldfusion module. However, I'm not being successful in sending a message yet.
I have looked at the smpptest.java. One problem I have in converting this to
Coldfusion is the Byte TYPE. Some of the parameters needed are supposed to be
BYTE type but I don't think I can do that in ColdFusion directly. Can anyone
suggest how to proceed?
I'm still looking for an example of anyone who has done this in coldfusion mx
6.1.
Thanks!
Dave

Re: MX 6.1 and Sending SMS Messages
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have been doing this same thing with a product called TCPClient from www.intrafoundation.com. this program is a COM Object which gives Coldfusion the ability to communicate with all kids of TCP protocols. The Cell Phone Providers have and operate an SNPP Gateway which is using the TAP Protocol which they do not want to admit to as this cuts out the SMC's but if you ask the right question to the right person you can get the right information. If someone is savy with Linux they can install a program called QPAGE, a 2400Baud Modem to create their own SMC then the Coldfusion application would talk TCP to this machine to send pages on demand. This is the same thing which I have been doing for Indiana K-12 School Corporations for the past 5 years and my application sends out just under 2 Million text messages each year. Dave Phillips wrote: Okay, before I go any further let me make it clear that our organization is planning to upgrade to MX 7, but unfortunately, I have to get this functionality working BEFORE that happens and WITH CF MX 6.1, so please don't just respond with upgrade to MX 7 or CF 8). Our company tends to be 1 major version behind for understandable reasons, and, although I may not agree with them, it's irrelevant. Here's the deal: I need to be able to send an SMS message through a CFMX 6.1 module. I understand that smpp.jar is a library of java classes that could allow me to do this. I also understand that I can use something like JavaLoader by Mark Mandel to 'import' the classes and use them. However, I know pretty much NIL about java, so I'm looking for ANYONE that might have tried to do this in MX 6.1 before 7 came out with it already done for them. OR, if someone can direct me to a step by step method of using java classes in ColdFusion, and if it's the SMPP.JAR classes then all the better. I am desparate for some help here. I've spent hours already and need a solution soon. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

RE: MX 6.1 and Sending SMS Messages
Don't know if this was mentioned, but Ben Nadel offered a way of doing this using cfmail a while back.

RE: MX 6.1 and Sending SMS Messages
Dave,
Do you have a SMSC (SMS Center) or an SMS Gateway? Currently we work with
OpenMarkets, which provides a java api that we leverage to send SMS, PSMS,
etc.
Either using an API provided from your SMSC, or OpenSMPP (which I assume is
where you found SMPP.jar) will be rather easy. You need to install the jar
file on your server, and then you can access it via createobject.
For Simplewire / OpenMarkets here is a sample:
cfscript
sms = createObject('java','com.simplewire.sms.SMS');
sms.setSubscriberID(subscriberID); // SMSC ID
sms.setSubscriberPassword(subscriber_password); // SMSC password
sms.setDestinationAddr(+#destAddress#); // user phone number
sms.setSourceAddr(SMS.ADDR_TYPE_NETWORK, sourceAddress); // phone
number / shortcode
sms.setMsgText('Sending you a message!');
sms.submit();
/cfscript
HTH,
Rich Kroll
