Admin Interface:Java Application to send WAP-Push SMS.

Here, we are using a Java application to send WAP -Push sms. We have used Java Communication 3.0 API. It provides application access to RS232 hardware(Serial port). We are connecting Mobile device to our admin server(Laptop) using Bluetooth Connection. After successful connection, Java application will detect all ports.Admin have to just select correct COM port.Learn more about Java Communication API.
