XML Applications/Xpressions (OpenStage 60/80)
3.12.1.1
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.
An XML application can be started by using the
v
key to navigate to the
Applications
tab and
then selecting an application, or by assigning it to a program key (System > Features > Program
keys).
For detailed information about the OpenStage XML application interface, please see the Open-
Stage 60/80 XML Applications Developer’s Guide. You can find the current version under
http://wiki.siemens-enterprise.com/index.php/OpenStage_XML_Applications
To set up a new XML application, enter the access data for the application on the server, which
is described in the following.
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".
>
A maximum number of 20 XML applications can be configured on OpenStage 60/80
phones.
>
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
u
will invoke
this application, in place of the personal (local) or corporate (LDAP) phonebook.
