          log.error("Load profile sms.properties failed to send Move.", e);
I am using windows 7 and the required info from the java code is picked up from a property file.
destination address is a "+" sign followed by cell number of client in US and I am in diff country.
source code I am using is "+" sign followed by a short code given by client.
I am also not aware what short codes are for.
I am also not sure whether I am passing correct parameters.
I just followed a demo code from the api's sample file. (open market api......swsms-2.9.16 is the jar used.).
would like to know If destination address can be my cell number.
The open market people have configured the demo short code for our SMS messaging account.
This feature will allow us to test our platform to send and receive SMS messages
while we are waiting for our dedicated short code.
Mobile Originated messages MUST start with our assigned keyword(s) to be routed to you.
We have a few keywords but don't know how to use them.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I had a same problem.
It was definately URL and SOAP Action Problem.
Also, I didnt configure the Proxy too.
Please dont waste more time in looking inot other configs.
Just give a careful look at Target URL and SOAP Action, again and again.
