now, MMS contains communication protocols in some sence, consider the MMSEncap 
within MM1 layer. ;)

Now, we had some students that wanted to add a smsbox-alike daemon to "dock" to 
bearerbox (that handels the multi-protocol layer) and abstract the MO and MT 
message flow within that daemon to Java API calls.

But I'm not aware of how far those projects got.

I consider it a good and value-worth effort to develop a hybrid attaching point 
for Java calls to access the message flow capabilities of Kannel.

So, the first thing you may need is to understand how Kannel itself works. See 
the related architecture documents that can be found on our web site.

Then make a software design/architecture for your own Java extention-box that 
docks to bearerbox via Kannel's own TCP communication layer interface.

I guess we have a lot of users here that are familiar with Java, that can 
comment and support.
