BlackBerry - Access to web service from real device

hi i have developed a application, that works fine on the simulator, now i want to test the application on the actual device. my application tries to access web services over the internet. I mean to say, the application makes SOAP request to web services. Also i am accessing the web services using https So in this case, do i need to first sign the application. if not, then ho开发者_高级运维w do i go ahead, with deploying the application.

i tried deploying the application, using the blackberry desktop manager, the application got installed, but it is not making calls to web service.i mean to say, the application is not hitting the web service

Are you getting any error messages from the application? If you need to sign any API's then you'll receive an error.

Use the Blackberry Browser to check if you can hit the webservice. Sometimes there can be issues if your handset is on a BES or if the webservice is behind a firewall.

Check that you have connections or it will timeout.

For https connection you can refer to foll. post :

This issue has to do with some MDS servers having a low default for how large the requests they can pass through are:

Still trying to sort out a good solution to this myself for a service that returns a large XML packet since it can't be reliably known whether a user's service has the default minimum or something higher.
