pushapi.eval.blackberry.com is the push server to use for the push evaluation service
https://pushapi.eval.blackberry.com/mss/PD_pushReq is the URL to use to post a push request.
You have to authenticate your request with basic authentication, using your appID as username and the provided service password as the ... password 
The request itself must follow the PAP specs available at www.openmobilealliance.com http://www.openmobilealliance.org/technical/releas
For authentication you must use "basic authentication", which is a standard http mechanismn:
This is done by setting the HTTP request header
"Authorization"
to
"Basic <bas64 encoded string of user:password>"
The user must be your app ID - lets say 55-65F234A63E4F - the password is the service password named Pwd in the server section of your credentials mail - lets say "s3cr3tp@55".
Dependent on the used java http client library you can set some BasicAutenticator-Object to your HttpConnection or you can set the header directly:
pushConnection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic NTUtNjVGMjM0QTYzRTRGOnMzY3IzdHBANTU=");
Where NTUtNjVGMjM0QTYzRTRGOnMzY3IzdHBANTU= is the base64 encoded string 55-65F234A63E4F:s3cr3tp@55

Hope my writing is understandable
Hi ranguard,
You writing can be understood clearly.
I had implemented it with the authorization. While i do a pap push it gives me that
mds returned status code 200:
Below is my pap push code:
private void papPush(String data)
{
String pushId="pushID:"+random.nextInt();
setupNotifyThread();
readPapTemplate();
String errorCode = null;
try {
String mdsHost = "pushapi.eval.blackberry.com/mss/PD_pushReq";
URL mdsUrl = new URL("https://"+mdsHost+ "/pap");
System.out.println(" sending PAP request to " + mdsUrl.toString() + "; pushId = " + pushId);
HttpURLConnection mdsConn = (HttpURLConnection)mdsUrl.openConnection();
String boundary = "";
boundary = "asdlfkjiurwghasf";
mdsConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/related; type=\"application/xml\"; boundary=" + boundary);
mdsConn.setRequestProperty("X-Wap-Application-Id", "/");
mdsConn.setRequestProperty("X-Rim-Push-Dest-Port","20484");
String base64 = "***************************************";
mdsConn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", base64);
mdsConn.setRequestMethod("POST");
mdsConn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
mdsConn.setDoInput(true);
mdsConn.setDoOutput(true);
String output = requestTemplate.replaceAll("\\$\\(pushid\\)", pushId);
output = output.replaceAll("\\$\\(boundary\\)", boundary);
output = output.replaceAll("\\$\\(notifyURL\\)", "" + notifyURL);
output = output.replaceAll("\\$\\(pin\\)", "" + _pinField.getText());
String deliveryMethod = "confirmed";
output = output.replaceAll("\\$\\(deliveryMethod\\)", deliveryMethod);
output = output.replaceAll("\\$\\(headers\\)", "Content-Type: text/plain");
output = output.replaceAll("\\$\\(content\\)", data);
output = output.replaceAll("\r\n", "EOL");
output = output.replaceAll("\n", "EOL");
output = output.replaceAll("EOL", "\r\n");
System.out.println(output);
OutputStream outs = mdsConn.getOutputStream();
copyStreams(new ByteArrayInputStream(output.getBytes()), outs);
mdsConn.connect();
ByteArrayOutputStream response = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
copyStreams(mdsConn.getInputStream(), response);
int httpCode = mdsConn.getResponseCode();
if (httpCode != HttpURLConnection.HTTP_ACCEPTED) {
throw new Exception("MDS returned HTTP status: " + httpCode);
}
} catch (Exception exception) {
if (errorCode == null)
{
errorCode = exception.getClass().getName();
}
System.out.println(" encountered error on submission: " + exception.toString());
}
}
And when i do a rim push to the provided url i get complete web page in response.
The page shows some error saying:
Sending to https://pushapi.eval.blackberry.com/mss/PD_pushReq

Can you please put some light on these responses..

Ranguard how should i move further?
You need some clients to be registered for your service.
The responce code of 200 from pap push means that the message is sent successfully?
No ...200 just tells you the service could be reached and your request was submitted successfully.
In addition you get back a XML response with further information about the state of your request.
The following is an example for a response reflecting a successful push (result code 1001 is the key to a successful push):
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE pap PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD PAP 2.1//EN" "http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/pap_2.1.dtd"><pap><push-response push-id="id57342836" sender-add ress="http://pushapi.eval.blackberry.com/mss/PD_pushRequ
est" sender-name="RIM Push-Data Service" reply-time="2010-06-17T06:38:42Z"><response-result code="1001" desc="The request has been accepted for processing."></response-result></push-response></p ap>
You can get a bunch of different error messages back. Some will be of type response-result like the success message but with some different result code and message text - or if your message is malformed somehow you will get a badmessage-response:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE pap PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD PAP 2.1//EN" "http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/pap_2.1.dtd"><pap><badmessage-response code="2000" desc="deliver-before-timestamp has already expired" bad-message-fragment="deliver-before-timestamp has already expired"/></pap>
What does this means. Is there a problem from blackberry side??
That's what I'm thinking about this whole stuff.
But RIM tries some Jedi approach by doing some weird gesture and repeating to say "There is no problem"
