The first lines of this java servlet (including the 3 println statements) are examples of handling an HTTP request for an incoming SMS and the rest is for sending an HTTP request. You just need to configure Kannel to send an http request to the URL where the java servlet is running. In order to run Java servlets you need a Servlet Container such as Apache Tomcat (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html). So in your kannel.conf file you need to add a paragraph that looks something like this
group = sms-service keyword = default get-url = "http://my.apache.machine:8080/Servlet/MyServlet?sender=%p&text=%r&to=%P"; max-messages = 0 Notice that the names I put as parameters in the http request are the same as I use in the code in order to retrieve them. (The 8080 port is the default port for the Tomcat Servlet Container) With this configuration incoming SMS messages are not stored anywhere they are just send to the Java Servlet as an http request. So it is up to the java servlet to store them somewhere if needed. In my code a second http request is made to another Kannel in order to forward the SMS to the CIMD2 SMSC, but the code can be changed to make a database insert for example. I am sorry but I am not familiar with PlaySMS so I can't help there.

Thank you for answering my question Send SMS, I'm using HTTP GET/POST, and I've successed for sending, no problem at all But, If there is incoming SMS to my SMS Gateway, where is the message gone?? In which directory the message come?? (where's the spool directory??) I'm using SMPP protocol for this and using kannel + playsms for the web interface thank you Sakellariou Spyros ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: >I don't have a script for doing that.
