how to know user location via sms from server without any applications installed in mobile
This is not possible. This will never be possible.
Get the user to type their postcode/zipcode etc in the SMS, then detect and parse it at the server.
I would look into Location Based Services (LBS)

I am trying to retrieve the MAC address of the device using ADF. Is this possible?
This is some information that I was able to get, but I couldnt understand how to use it.(I dont know whether this link is of much use as it is the documentation to Oracle® Identity Management)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/admin.1112/e27239/id_context.htm#CHDBEAHC
This cant be done, as app store will reject apps that try to access the MAC Address
i have done a security app which locate a iPhone and send the GPS location of the phone through message to an associated number this functions works good until iOS 5, but the issue is sending SMS without users knowledge is restricted in iOS 6, so i need a help here instead of sending message, is there any other possible way or replacement for this function? any answer related to this method are appreciated.
Thank you.
You haven't specified whether your ios app has a server. If yes, you can transmit location to server and that in turn can transmit it to intended user via specific api.
If this is not correct, APNS is your friend. This is a way to send messages to desired devices only, the ones who explicitly registers through your app.
Another quite equivalent option is to store it in public back-end like parse.com. As soon as other devices start your app, they can pull your location from there. If their device is already live, parse.com can make sure to notify them as soon as you change your location value in their DB.
I would like to create a java program that would get only the body/message of the mail, the mails are in .eml format and the mails are placed locally in my machine. The problem is when I try to look for ways to do this I'm still lead to use the Folder class which requires an active mail server. Now, my question is, is there any way I can extract the message part of an e-mail using the Javamail API without the need to connect to a server? Because doing the extraction of the message part of an e-mail without including its headers is nearly impossible with filestream.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers!
You can use a "local store provider" for JavaMail, but perhaps the simplest approach for you is to just use the MimeMessage that takes an InputStream. Give it a (buffered) FileInputStream and it will parse the message for you.
I'm working on building a Silverlight application whereas we want to be able to have a client hit a url like:
http://{client}.domain.com/
and login, where the {client} part is their business name. so for example, google's would be:
http://google.domain.com/
What I was wondering was if anyone has been able, in silverlight, to be able to use this subdomain model to make decisions on the call to the web server so that you can switch to a specific database to run a query? Unfortunately, it's something that is quite necessary for the project, as we are trying to make it easy for their employees to get their company specific information for our software.
Wouldn't it work to put the service on a specific subdomain itself, such as wcf.example.com, and then setup a cross domain policy file on the service to allow it to access it?
As long as this would work you could just load the silverlight in the proper subdomain and then pass that subdomain to your service and let it do its thing.
Some examples of this below:
Silverlight Cross Domain Services
Silverlight Cross Domain Policy Helpers
On the server side you can check the HTTP 1.1 Host header to see how the user came to your server and do the necessary customization based on that.
I think you cannot do this with Silverlight alone, I know you cannot do this without problems with Javascript, Ajax etc. . That is because a sub domain is - for security reasons - treated otherwise than a sub-page by the browsers.
What about the following idea: Insert a rewrite rule to your web server software. So if http://google.domain.com is called, the web server itself rewrites the URL to something like http://www.domain.com/google/ (or better: http://www.domain.com/customers/google/). Would that help?
Georgi:
That would help if it would be static, but alas, it's going to all be dynamic. My hope was to have 1x deployment for the application, and to use the http://google.domain.com/ idea to switch to the correct database for the user. I recall doing this once when we built an asp.net website, using the domain context to figure out what skin to use, etc.
Ates: Can you explain more about what you are saying... sounds like you are close to what I am trying to come up with. Have you seen such a tutorial for this?
The only other way I have come up with to make this work is to have a metabase that when the user logs in, it will switch them to the appropriate database as required... was just thinking as well that telling Client x to hit:
http://ClientX.domain.com/ would have been sweeter than saying to hit http://www.domain.com/ and login. It seemed as if they were to hit their name, and to show it personalized for them right from the login screen would have been much more appealing for the client base.
#Richard B: No, I can't think of any such tutorial that I've seen before. I'll try to be more verbose.
The server-side approach in more detail:
Direct *.example.com to the same IP in your DNS settings.
The backend app that handles login checks the Host HTTP header (e.g. the "HTTP_HOST" server variable in some platforms). That would contain the exact subdomain.example.com that the client used for reaching your server. Extract the subdomain part and continue...
There can also be a client-side-only approach. I don't know much about Silverlight but I'm assuming that you should be able to interface Silverlight with JavaScript. You could read document.location with JavaScript and pass it to your Silverlight applet, whereon further data fetching etc. logic would rely on the subdomain that was passed in by JavaScript.
#Ates:
That is what we did when we wrote the ASP.Net system... we pushed a slew of *.example.com hosts against the web server, and handled using the HTTP headers. The hold-up comes when dealing with WCF pushing the info between the client and the server... it can only exist in one domain...
So, for example, when you have {client}.example.com and {sandbox}.example.com, the WCF service can't be registered to both. It also cannot be registered to just *.example.com or example.com, so that's where the catch 22 is coming in at. everything else I have the prior knowledge of handling.
I recall a method by which an application can "spoof" another domain name in certain instances. I take it in this case, I would need to do such a configuration? Much to research yet I believe.
I am developing a web app that will be hit frequently by mobile browsers. I am wondering if there is a way to get enough information from the browser request to lookup position data (triangulation or GPS) Not from the request directly, of course. A colleague suggested there some carriers supply a unique identifier in the request header that can be sent to a web service exposed by said provider that will return position data if the customer has enabled that. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this or any other method for gleaning position data, even very approximate. Obviously this is app candy, e.g. if the data is not available the app doesn't really care...
Or perhaps a web service by carrier that will provide triangulated data by IP?
Google has ClientLocation as part of their AJAX APIs. You'll need to load Google's AJAX API (requires an API key) and it'll try to resolve the user's location data for you.
I've got blackberry gps to javascript working OK in a GMaps mashup. Pretty simple, actually. http://www.saefern.org/tickets/test4.php -- help yrself to view source.
(I don't currently have a bb. A user emailed me with "... it seems to be polling every 15 seconds or so, so it keeps adding new locations ... ".)
I'm looking for javascript gps info on an iPhone equivalent. And Nokia, and ... .
Any information appreciated.
I have used this javascript library sucessfully:
http://code.google.com/p/geo-location-javascript/
The examples work great. The user will always be prompted to share their location--don't know a way to avoid that.
Use the source IP address to approximate a network location. No, you won't get latitude and longitude in an HTTP request from an iPhone. Not unless you write a 3rd party app and ask them to run it.
You might be better off just running a poll on your website.
I know that some providers in Japan have a tracking service for location of cellphones.
I also know that the information is not public. I think you need to have a very good reason before the provider gives that information free as it is in my opinion sensitive personal data. Of course they will give the information to police officers but not to the general public.
