            Android Container and ICEpush-ee

            Description


            C2DM has been deprecated and replaced with Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). The Android container and ICEpush EE infrastructure need to support GCM. While legacy support for C2DM is desirable, it is not necessary to support both from a single server-side application.

              Investigation into the migration path from C2DM to GCM indicates that client code can remain the same, with the only required change being the sender id.
              The server-side is a bit different. The authentication process is gone, and now only a server key is required to send. The existing C2DM data format is preserved, so only the message header needs to change. A new notification provider for GCM is warranted.
              Configuration of the notification provider requires the server key that matches the GCM sender code. Project credentials are created/configured through googleapis. The GCM notification provider configured into the application either using a Java system property:
              -Dcom.icesoft.icepush.gcmlogin="Server key for your GCM project"
              or in the web.xml using
              <context-param>
              <param-name>gcm.authKey</param-name>
              <param-value>Server key for your GCM project</param-value>
              </context-param>
