[Building Sakai] SMS service for Sakai: preview release

[Mark Breuker]

Hi David,

Congratulations with this first release! 

I've integrated it with our Sakai 2.5.3 test instance and found that it
takes a little bit more work than simply modifying the parent pom. The
reason is that 2.5.3 doesn't contain the new kernel package so I had to
add all the dependencies such as email-api, site-api, authz-api etc that
are part of the Sakai 2.6 kernel. 

Also I had to upgrade the entity-broker version to 1.3.6 instead of
1.3.3 which comes with Sakai 2.5.3.

For the most part it seems to be working now. When I open the SMS
messages tool however I get this error in the log:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Value of UIBoundString cannot be
null
	at
uk.org.ponder.rsf.components.UIBoundString.setValue(UIBoundString.java:1
2)

Cheers,

Onderwerp: [Building Sakai] SMS service for Sakai: preview release

Hi All,

We've cut a preview release of the SMS (Short Messaging Service AKA
text)  for Sakai. This is the code that we'll be piloting and testing in
production in the coming days at UCT. The service currently includes:

1)  Services to send messages from Sakai to mobile phones
2) An admin interface for managing user accounts and checking statuses
3) a user tool that could be placed in a site to allow users to send
SMS's to Sakai users.

The release can be downloaded from:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib//sms/tags/sms-0.7/

Project information including information on configuration of the
service can be found at:
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/SMS

NOTE: The release is tagged to build against the upcoming 2.6.0 release.
If you wish to build against other version please edit the parent block
of the projects base pom.

For testing without actually sending messages to a gateway there is a
SMPP simulator at:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib//sms/trunk/sms_smpp_sim/
alternatively the tools can be viewed without a simulator or gateway
present - however there will be warnings in cataliana.out as it attempts
to deliver the messages.


The service has been (and will be) tested against Clickatells SMPP
gateway (http://www.clickatell.com/). It should however be compatible
will all standard SMPP gateways.


Regards

David
