Hi guys,

I contacted my BE team but during I'm waiting reply I want to ask the community:

Is your onMessage called several times with the same message?

I see in RIM examples code they check that this message is new (not proccesed yet):

    public static void process( PushInputStream pis, Connection conn ) {
        Logger.log( "Reading incoming push message ..." );

        try {

            HttpServerConnection httpConn;
            if( conn instanceof HttpServerConnection ) {
                httpConn = (HttpServerConnection) conn;
            } else {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Can not process non-http pushes, expected HttpServerConnection but have "
                        + conn.getClass().getName() );
            }

            String msgId = httpConn.getHeaderField( MESSAGE_ID_HEADER );
            String msgType = httpConn.getType();
            String encoding = httpConn.getEncoding();

            Logger.log( "Message props: ID=" + msgId + ", Type=" + msgType + ", Encoding=" + encoding );
                        
            if( !alreadyReceived( msgId ) ) {
}
}

Do you have the same check in your app?

Thanks,

Eugen

There is no guarantee that dups can be sent to the device but from my experience its quite rare. You'd have to add a message id to the http header when you push the message for it to work.
