Hi,

When you push to a BlackBerry smartphone you push to either the email address or PIN associated with the device. These can be previously known or read from the BES.

Performing a Browser Channel Push is definitely possible to be done from within a Java application, check out the HTTPDemo (server-side) included with the BlackBerry JDEs and JDE Plug-ins for Eclipse (eJDE) which displays this.

That was very helpful.....

I wish to know that is it possiable to dynamically get details (like their pin email etc...) of BB devices from BES...

Thanks in Advance....

If you are using BES version 5.0 or above then you could install and use the BlackBerry Administration APIs to gather a list of all users, their email addresses and associated PINs:

If using an earlier version of BES then you could use the BlackBerry Resource Kit which can achieve the same results but will need to be run from the BES.
