each of the PushApplication constructs/objects on the UPS ?

"the client" ? Is that the AdminUI (or the relevant HTTP Rest code), when
someone clicks "Add new Variant" ?

Now, when a (JavaEE) application is sending a request for push messages to
the UPS (which than internally makes use of the private key to decrypt that
data and send fancy messages to Apple), the HTTP RestEndpoint requires a
new argument (the public key) to be allowed to submit these "requests" ?
