Previous versions of WebLogic Network Gatekeeper supported an Application Testing Environment (ATE) that required a fully installed version of Network Gatekeeper to run. Version 3.0 includes an SDK and Network Gatekeeper Simulator that runs in WebLogic Server without the need for any Network Gatekeeper installation. The Simulator also includes a customizable GUI for testing SMS, MMS, PAP, and Terminal Location. And because all application-facing interfaces are based on Web Services interfaces, application developers can use the tools of their choice for creating their applications.
