Is anyone using dynamic VXML with UCCE ? Are there significant benefits realised over using a static Studio app?
Any tips on how you are achieving this is appreciated.

We are trying to integrate certain pre-existing  VXML modules  into CVP. Also we have a Java framework that does generate VXML for the Voice Browser. How easily can these be ported into CVP.One way I can think of is use a VXML insert element with Call studio.
 Do you always need to Call Studio to deploy your apps.
Is there a way we can manually create the directory structure on the VXML server & put in pre-existing VXML files ?
 

In reference to your comment about Voice browser. Voice browser is nothing new, it is a must on any voicexml supported platform as you mentioned it is equivalent of web browser. Also it waill parse any content as long as it confirms to the vxml specs the vb  supports.

Thanks for the replies. I have my VXML(2.0) & Java framework running on a different platform that I want to use with the CVP browser. Can I port it without using CVP Call Studio ? If so, what are the steps I need to take care of. My VXML/Java is hosted on  Tomcat.  Also do you think my current ICM interaction modules need to be changed if I port to CVP ?  Can I do away with the Call Server  ICM service if its already taken care at the code level.

Hi Ganesh.
As mentioned before, you can use the GS microapp to invoke any VXML as a subdialog. The VXML that you are invoking can be a JSP that returns a valid VXML subdialog to be executed. If you look at how the ICM microapp variables are combined when using the Run Ext Script node and selected GS,Server,V (which is what's done to invoke a VXMLServer app) - then you'll see that they conbine these ECC variable values to get the query string to invoke code as a subdialog (+ here is concatenating):
media_server+locale+app_media_lib+(2nd parameter of the network VRU script name)+"?"+ToExtVxml[0]+"&"+ToExtVxml[1]+"&"+ToExtVxml[2]+"&"+ToExtVxml[3]
 
So, if you can set these variables to create a string that invokes your VXML code, you should be all set.
For example, to invoke a VxmlServer application, named HelloWorld, one sets these variables:
media_server="http://vxmlserverIP:7000/CVP"
locale="en-us"
app_media_lib=".."
network VRU script "GS,Server,V"
ToExtVxml[0]="application=HelloWorld"
ToExtVxml[1]="callid=1234-5678-9999"
UseVxmlParams="N" (pass data as HTML params, not as Vxml Params)
 
To create a query string that works for VxmlServer:
"http://vxmlserverIP:7000/en-us/../CVP/Server?application=HelloWorld&callid=1234-5678-9999"
 
 
Your Java code will then be invoked by the VXML Gateway as a subdialog. You should end your subdialog with a return tag that returns data to ICM using these variables in its namelist="caller_input FromExtVXML0 FromExtVXML1 FromExtVXML2 FromExtVXML3"
 
If you follow this, then you should be able to invoke your own VXML without using CallStudio or VXMLServer.

Thanks Janine & Hemal. So what I infer is that as long as the Java code demonstrates SubDialog Start & Return with appropriate VXML array (ToExt) for passing ICM Variable, we can do away completely with VXML server & the Call Studio.
That tells me that I would have to use CVP Call server 's ICM service for GED 125 Service Control interaction.
 
 Do you know what version of CVP supports Peripheral Variables 1 thru 10 in a Comphrensive deployment ? Currently the CTI feeds to my Desktop apps use Peripheral variables. But with CVP we are restricted to VXML Array.
