Description:
Hello,
I need a Java web app to run under Tomcat. This app will take a few parameters, and assemble an MMS message (multi-media message) using Nokia's free Java library.
Basically, here's what needs to happen:
The web app will be passed a string such as "send.jsp?password=pass&to_user=username&from_user=username&msg=the_message&img=the_image"
password - a password
to_user - the recipient's email address
to_phone - the recipient's phone number
(only one of these 2 will be supplied)
from_user - the sender's email address
from_phone - the sender's phone number
(only one of these will be supplied)
msg - a text message. Question: Can you have spaces in a parameter?? If not I guess this could be a text file.
img - a .gif or .jpg image file name, such as "c:\tmp\moon.gif".
The web app will work as follows:
1) read a config file at startup. PASSWORD should be a parameter, as well as any other appropriate variables (ie. log file names)
2) When a request comes in, verify that the parameters are legal. Password must be correct.
3) Dump the parameters, timestamp, and ip address to a log file.
4) Store the request info in a Vector, or array or something, then return Success to the caller.
5) A thread should be running in the background which does the following:
- loops forever, looking for requests. If no requests, sleep for 1 second.
- Take the request info, and build an MMS message using Nokia's free "MMS Java library version 1.1", available at forum.nokia.com . (look in the Messaging section - not the Java section)
- When building the message, attach the image first and the text message last.
- Send the message, log this to a file, and log any results.
To test this, Nokia also provides a "MMSC EAIF Emulator", available at the same site. This is used to verify messages were sent properly.
Code must be clear and documented where appropriate. I may require help setting this up since I haven't run a web app before... but from what I hear it should be as easy as putting a .jar in the right directory and modifying Tomcat's config file. For source code package names, please use com.activetoons.mms.server
I look forward to your bid! Feel free to ask any questions.
Mark

Hello Mark,
I have 3 years Java experience, including servlets, applets and multithreading. I will write top quality, well-documented code for you. I will also provide you with instructions how to set up the application.
Answer to your question - spaces in URL are escaped like this: %20.
By the way, threads can communicate; there is usually no need for sleep timeouts.
Regards,
Guntis
