3.11.1 XML Applications/Xpressions (OpenStage 60/80)
3.11.1.1 Setup/Configuration
The XML interface enables server-based applications with a set of GUI elements. The techno-
logies commonly used in web applications can be used: Java Servlets, JSP, PHP, CGI etc., de-
livered by servers such as Tomcat, Apache, Microsoft IIS.
A maximum number of 20 XML applications can be configured on OpenStage 60/80
>
phones.
An XML application can be started by using the
then selecting an application, or by assigning it to a program key (System > Features > Program
keys).
Xpressions is a special Unified Communications application which also uses the
>
XML interface. Thus, the configuration is just the same as with other XML applicati-
ons, except a few parameters, which are pre-configured. For details, please refer to
the relevant Xpressions documentation. When configured on the phone, a press on
x
will invoke this application.
XML Phonebook is a preconfiguration intended for a regular XML application with
>
phonebook functionality. When configured on the phone, a press on
this application, in place of the personal (local) or corporate (LDAP) phonebook.
To set up a new XML application, enter the access data for the application on the server:
The Display name can be defined freely. This name will appear in the applications tab once
the application is configured, and it will appear in a newy created tab when the application is
running. With Xpressions, this value is predefined as "Xpressions".
The Application name is used by the phone software to identify the XML application running
on the phone. With Xpressions, this value is predefined as "Xpressions".
The Protocol for exchanging XML data with the server-side program can be set to "HTTP" or
"HTTPS".
The HTTP Server address is the IP address or domain name of the server which hosts the
remote program. Server port number specifies the corresponding port.
Program name specifies the relative path to the servlet or to the first XML page of the applica-
tion on the server. The relative path refers to the root directory for documents on the web serv-
er. The program name cannot be longer than 100 characters.
