Hello,

How can I listen to data pushed by the server using http connection ? I dont want to use BES server. How this can be achieved?

My Blackberry Os version is 4.5.

If you mean pushed in the sense of MDS Push data, the only way to do that is from an MDS server which means either a BES or using RIM's BIS with Web Signals. Otherwise I think you need more specifics.

If you don't want to use BES (or any of its derivatives) then you are left with Web Signals (which requires Blackberry Alliance membership). The other options are polling (not really a good option), or triggered polling. Monitor for incoming SMS on a particular port (requires the knowledge and infrastructure to send SMS, which I can't help you with), or monitor for incoming email of a particular format. This has been used by many people, if the data size is small it can be the payload of the email message.

We have a server side implementation that pushes data to client. But I am not able to receive it on datainputstream . Server successfully sends data to client,but client is not able to read it. Any help appreciated. Thanks...

Sounds like you are describing an MDS push, for which you need at least the MDS server portion of the BES.

Hi,at this point of time in my project,I can't afford BES push. Also I had a look over BIS-B push which is also a paid service. Is there any alternative available? I really need to implement this as soon as possible.Please help me....
