Developing Push App Through BES

Hi

 

I am a corporate developer and want to write apps to get our custom data pushed to our users' Blackberry handsets through our in-house BES.

 

Where does one start? I have got as far as HelloWorldSampleApp using Eclipse and the RIM Eclipse plug-in. I also have the app running on the Blackberry simulator.  My environment, is therefore, setup.

 

As I see, I can write an application to use the HTTPConnection to get to a web service within my Intranet through the BES (I guess) and refresh all the data. 

 

Better would be to use some mechanism within BES to push just the changes - which is not difficult for me to track in my internal databases.

 

Where should I start?

 

Thanks a bunch

 

Best wishes

 

Iyer

 

PS : Hope this IS the right forum to post this one in.

Re: Developing Push App Through BES

The best place to start is to read over the Push applications for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server found here:  http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/12029/Push_applications_for_the_BlackBerry_Ent...

 

You can also refer to the client and server httppushdemo that is included with the BlackBerry JDE and BlackBerry Java Plug-in for Eclipse.
