is service book entry for IPPP a prerequisite for Blackberry push service work?

I am trying to test sample application for Push API,that comes with Push SDK. Though was able configure server side application and was able to hit test URLs given in PDF and was able to get expected results. But am not able to run Client 开发者_如何学Goside sample application.Its LOG was showing following error when I was trying to register for the service after prerequisite setting.

Content Provider network command[Subscribe] failed, caused by could not find a service book
entry for IPPP command register failed with error:java.io.IOException: Network Opertation[Subscribe] failed. Make sure that Content Provider  URL is accessible

Can we test Push enabled application on simulator,If yes, is there any specific setting required for the same?

testing of BIS is not allowed on simulator,for testing Push services through BIS one need real device only.

Since the Push server needs a PIN number, and that all simulator got the same PIN , so I needed a real device and an Dataplan to test it.

The reason behind is,they can't reach a Simulator because simulators are not on any known Carrier.

not all devices have the same pin. the pin can be changed from jde->edit->preferences->simulator. check out this link: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/6338/Testing_push_applications_607571_11.jsp
