Openwave WAP Push Library provides Java APIs that encapsulate the WAP 1.2.1 Push Access Protocol (PAP). Using Openwave WAP Push Library, developers can dramatically simplify the process of creating push-enabled applications.

With WAP Push, applications simultaneously deliver the content, not just the alert, and have far greater control of content delivery and handling via capabilities such as application level confirmation, handset capabilities querying, session initiation, content intrusion prioritization, cache management, and multi-recipient addressing.

Based on open WAP standards, WAP Push delivers capabilities that enhance the richness, usability, and security of existing applications and ushers in a new generation of high-value push-enabled applications, such as real-time multi-user games and messaging. Openwave WAP Push Library is designed to work with any WAP 1.2.1 compliant handset and Push Proxy Gateway. And with backward compatibility, Openwave's end-to-end solution supports millions of existing handsets with legacy (UP.Notify) push capability.
