Is it possible to have a j2me app on a mobile to act as a "SMS gateway" that will handle incommming messages, do a query on a database via GPRS and reply the user back?
This is entirely possible on any J2ME handset that supports JSR 120 (i.e.: most of them). However as Wonil said, you can t just process ANY incoming SMS message. It has to be an SMS sent to a port number on which your app is listening (using a server connection as Wonil explained).
It wouldn t be automatic unless the app was signed (as confirmation is generally required for sending SMS and network access).
Another approach is to tether your phone to a PC using a USB cable/bluetooth/IR, open a serial connection using the phone as a modem, and write a program to listen for new SMSs using AT+CGML as described here. This would allow ANY incoming SMS to be processed (no port number required), and without any annoying confirmation prompts.
HTH
I think you should check about JSR-120 documentation to confirm. But, in my thought it might be impossible. If you want to receive message by using JSR-120, you should assign specific end point(port number) to listen as like below:
serverConn = (MessageConnection)Connector.open("sms://:5000");
So, you can t catch all SMS messages. It can t be a gateway then.
It probably depends if your phone supports it. Have a look at the J2ME Wireless Messaging API:
The Wireless Messaging API (WMA) is an optional package for the Java 2 Platform, Mobile Edition (J2ME) that provides platform-independent access to wireless communication resources like Short Message Service (SMS).

This article has some examples which can probably serve as a starting point for what you want to achieve: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wireless/library/wi-extendj2me/
Edit: as others have pointed out, you might not be able to receive all messages.
