Hi All, I'm working with one of the UCSE final year student with his project. I have him a idea of creatinga HTTP gateway base on SOAP messaging which allow to connect 3 rd parties to SMSC(Short message Service Center) via HTTP/SOAP.( Act as a web proxy gateway) my idea is to do some protocol convertion SMPP(SMSC communication with 3rd parties in TCP/IP) to SOAP message and handle it. So 3rd parties need know SOAP message format and define command set.
Because now a days we have to allow 3rd parties to connect SMSC drectly in TCP/IP. My objective is connect those are via Internet and Telecom independent protocol like SOAP. Please let me know what you think about this project , I hope to continue this project as a open source project. Can we discuss about this .? I need some help on designing the gateway . One of the challanges are . 1) Need to get the delivery report of the message, so need some state full communication channel with proxy gateway. (So need to use some TCP sockets) 2) Need to capture User request , it also need some statefull communication My simple desigh as follows: 3rd party supplier--(1) Internet---(2)----Ws Proxy for SMSC----(3)---SMSC(mobile operater network) Interface discription : 1.) 3rd party supplier. 2. proposed WS-SMS proxy gateway 3.) SMSC which reside in mobile operaters private network. and Working with SMPP 3.4 protocol Please give some guidelines for designing this gateway, or propose better design. Thanks, Best regards, Manoj
