camel-smpp as server / SMSC?

[Daniel Pocock <da...@pocock.pro>]

Looking at the code, it appears that the camel-smpp component is
intended to run as the client, connecting to a server (known as the SMSC
in GSM speak)

Has anybody thought about using camel-smpp to create an SMPP either as a
test harness for other SMPP clients or for other purposes?

If somebody were to develop this, should this be done within the
camel-smpp component or should it be a new component, maybe call it
camel-smsc?

The mock service is just one example.  People may also want to use Camel
to build a bridge from an SMPP client to an SMSC that doesn't have
proper SMPP support yet (e.g. the Twilio service) or maybe a company
like Twilio may want to use Camel to build their customer-facing SMPP
API one day :)

I agree that some components (FTP, JMS) only work as a client but there
are others (camel-netty-http) that can act as client or server. 
camel-netty-http has its own way of storing a user list for HTTP
authenticated users, would it be useful for Camel to have a shared user
database that any component can use to authenticate incoming connections?

Hi Daniel,

I think you just bring an interesting topic — using camel as mock service here. But I’m not sure if there are lots of use wants to use camel-smsc component as a mock service if there is a SMSC implementation.
BTW, we don’t mock the ftp server by using camel-ftpserver component.
