MobileFirst Server push service configuration details

The push service is packaged as a WAR application for us to deploy to the application server. We need to make some specific configurations for this application in the server.xml file.

The push service WAR file is in mfp_install_dir/PushService/mfp-push-service.war.

You must define the context root as /imfpush. Otherwise, the client devices cannot connect to it as the context root is hardcoded in the SDK.

For more information about the JNDI properties, see List of JNDI properties for MobileFirst Server push service.


Data source

The JNDI name of the data source for the push service must be defined as jndiName=imfpush/jdbc/imfPushDS.
