Hello List... Apologies for the cut and paste of the thread below... I just wanted to add an answer to the problem I had of how to send an sms using a servlet. I'm sure that the ability to send GSM text messages would be very useful - at least for the Euro-tomcatters. The following URL provides a small .jar to do exactly that:
