java ios push,你如何设置javapns（iOS的推送通知）？

I have had a look at the documentation / wiki for javapns. http://code.google.com/p/javapns/

Unfortunately, what should be obvious is anything but obvious to me.

How do I set up a working push notification server? As in, there's a .jar file, but I would appreciate more info than that. Do I need to run this in Tomcat? Is there a working example?'

Thanks.

I have used Java APNS in the past. It has a BSD License and did a perfect job and was quite easy to use once the certificates were set up. All in all it is not a dead-simple task to set up Push notifications, but I usually got usable debug output if there was anything not quite working yet.

A good thing about this solution is that you can run it stand alone java -jar MyAPNSPusher and trigger it with some cron job or include the logic in some .war file. I also found that the library was quite lightweight and I guess you can also find it in a maven repo.

Example from the Readme.markdown

To send a notification, you can do it in two steps:

Setup the connection

ApnsService service =

APNS.newService()

.withCert("/path/to/certificate.p12", "MyCertPassword")

.withSandboxDestination()

.build();

Create and send the message

String payload = APNS.newPayload().alertBody("Can't be simpler than this!").build();

String token = "fedfbcfb....";

service.push(token, payload);

[...]

Alternatives

If hosting your own server solution is too cumbersome then you can fallback to a thirdparty service which might often be a good thing because hosting a server with such a service running on it is probably often underestimated. With those services you usually pay a tiny amount (fractions of a cent) for a push message. Two that I have come across are
