Java SMPP library comparison

Question

We\'re about to begin a project which requires the use of SMPP as the primary integration exchange channel. Now since SMS isn\'t necessarily core to our business, I\'d like to u

Answer 1

Just an updated to what I finally decided (and how libraries reviewed):

1. Logica: Seems promising but I was concerned about the lack of updates/activeness of the community in general. The last meaningful build was yonks ago so not really an investment I wanted to make.

2. Apache Camel: We started off using this but there were some limitations to their library (we needed to insert custom heads to our SMPP packets). To be fair they were fairly prompt in responding to issues on their forums but their build cycles took a little too long for my sprints, so we scratched this.

3. JSMPP: This is the one we ended up using. Was pretty straightforward overall tho it did feel like it expected you to already have a fairly good idea of SMPP in general. Things are in staging so I can't tell you how it performs under production load. Will update when it goes live.

4. Cloudhopper: To be honest this was the one I was keen to use but more because like any geek I wanted to jump on the shiniest newest toy available. I didn't really get adequate responses to any queries we made from the off so was apprehensive to get on board. No reason to adopt a library that will require me to wade thru their codes when other more documented options were available.
