SMPP server socket in a Web Service
843789May 25 2009 — edited May 26 2009Hi,
I am writing a SMPP Gateway which will expose its interface of sendSMS and receiveSMS. For the other applications use these interfaces i am planning to write it as a webservice.
Since its a IP socket listener, the listener thread needs to be forked. Can this thread be started when the webservice is deployed on the server?
Is there any other way to implement a socket listener other than Threads?
Any inputs would be of great help.
Thanks.
