mobile and gis dev notes

I have a small project to use a jar file for sending/receiving SMS in chinese. I could send the SMS fine from Eclipse, so I thought creating a Java Class wrapper to be used by ColdFusion so it can be called from HTTP could do the trick.

After a few minutes, I have the class up and running and fully tested within Eclipse.

1. I dropped the class, dll and its jar in C:\ColdFusion8\lib. Take note its a Windows box, since the Jar is using a dll to talk to the Wavecom modem using AT commands.

GSMModem.jar
GSMMultiPort.dll
GSMMultiPortForJ.dll

2. The crux was to specify the file.encoding for Java as an argument from the CFIDE Administrator. After specifying GB18030, a quick restart.. voila..

Java Version  	 1.6.0_01
Java Vendor 	Sun Microsystems Inc.
Java Vendor URL 	http://java.sun.com/
