The process of sending an SMS using Java is shown using Eclipse with the XFire plugin. XFire is an opensource Java SOAP interface (download XFire)

  • Once you have the plugin installed, add the XFire nature to your project by right clicking on the project and selecting "Add XFire Nature"
  • Then, right click on the project and specify "New > Other...". At the bottom of the list should be an option labeled "Code generation from WSDL Document". Select this option and enter the following into the dialog presented: 
WSDL: http://api.upsidewireless.com/soap/Authentication.asmx?WSDL

Output Directory: <Your source directory> 

Package: <Leave Blank> (By leaving this field blank, the default package of the service will be used)

Click Finish and it will build the necessary source files. Repeat the process for: http://api.upsidewireless.com/soap/SMS.asmx?WSDL
  • Now that you have both sets of XFire client code generated (one for authentication and the other for sending SMS), now it is time to make a call. The essence of making the call is the following 3 lines of code (it can be reduce down to a single line of code, but that would make debugging difficult): 
SMSClient client = new SMSClient();
 
SMSSoap soap = client.getSMSSoap();
 
soap.send_Plain(token, signature, "+15557779999", "Hello", SmsEncoding.SEVEN);


Here is the one liner: 

new SMSClient().getSMSSoap().send_Plain(token, signature, "+15557779999", "Hello", SmsEncoding.SEVEN);

If you are sending URL in the text of your message please note that special characters like "-", "+", "/" and others MUST be replaced with their safe equivalents (for example %2f).

A complete "Main" style application would look like: 

import org.codehaus.xfire.XFireRuntimeException;
 
import com.upsidewireless.webservice.authentication.AuthenticationClient;
 
import com.upsidewireless.webservice.authentication.AuthenticationParameters;
 
import com.upsidewireless.webservice.authentication.AuthenticationSoap;
 
import com.upsidewireless.webservice.sms.SMSClient;
 
import com.upsidewireless.webservice.sms.SMSSoap;
 
import com.upsidewireless.webservice.sms.SmsEncoding;
 
 
/**
 * Start of your code
 * 
 */
public class SendSms {
 
	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
 
/***********************************************************************
 
		 * Execute the retrieval of the token and signature only once.
 
		 * Preferably from the web interface and store them as Constants
		 **********************************************************************/
 
		AuthenticationClient authclient = new AuthenticationClient();
 
		AuthenticationSoap authsoap = authclient.getAuthenticationSoap();
 
		AuthenticationParameters authparams = authsoap.getParameters("YourUserName", "YourPassword");
 
		String token = authparams.getToken();
 
		String signature = authparams.getSignature();
 
		/***********************************************************************
 
* We now have the credentials, now build a SOAP client and make the call.
		 **********************************************************************/
 
		SMSClient client = new SMSClient();
 
		SMSSoap soap = client.getSMSSoap();
 
		soap.send_Plain(token, signature, "+15557779999", "Hello", SmsEncoding.SEVEN);
 
	}
 
}
