How to pass a service parameter to web server.
Answer
4/21/10 11:02 PM
On CCM7 we have a phone service that points to a IPPhoneInput xml doc.  The user is able to input data and submit to the URL in that file just fine.  I am trying to create a parameter in CCM7 for this service that I append to the URL in the IPPhone URL that is sent.  So when I subscribe to the service on the phone configuration I will enter the data for this parameter.  When the user submits the input that they entered I want the parameter to be sent with it. 
 
Phone Service URL: http://Webserver1/CiscoIPPHoneService/IPPhoneInput.xml
Service Parameter:  siteID=ABCD
 
IPPhoneInput.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<CiscoIPPhoneInput>
<Title>Test</Title>
<Prompt>Test</Prompt>
<URL>http://Server:8080/customQts?</URL>
<InputItem>
<DisplayName>User Input</DisplayName>
<QueryStringParam>userInput</QueryStringParam>
<DefaultValue></DefaultValue>
<InputFlags>T</InputFlags>
</InputItem>
</CiscoIPPhoneInput>
 
 
I would like to see something like this sent to the application server http://Server:8080/customQts?userInput=1234&siteID=ABCD

Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thank you.

You may be able to stuff the extra param in to the QueryStringParam, like this:
 
<QueryStringParam>siteID=A&amp;userInput</QueryStringParam>
 
You could also modify the URL itself, like:
 
<URL>http://Server:8080/customQts/A</URL>

Thanks for the input but the request still doesn't look correct.
 
/customQts?&siteID%3DA%26userInput=99999

Looks like the following format works:
 
<CiscoIPPhoneInput>
<Title>Test</Title>
<Prompt>Test</Prompt>
<URL>http://10.88.131.137/customQts?siteName=A</URL>
<InputItem>
<DisplayName>User Input</DisplayName>
<QueryStringParam>userInput</QueryStringParam>
<DefaultValue></DefaultValue>
<InputFlags>T</InputFlags>
</InputItem>
</CiscoIPPhoneInput>
 
With result like:


GET /customQts?siteName=A&userInput=ds HTTP/1.1

1. If you want pass a phonename as parameter to a web service you can include anywhere in url the '#DEVICENAME#' string and phone will replace it with his name.
2. All information about phone capabilities you can receive from request params as described in IPPS development notes 'http://developer.cisco.com/web/ipps/docs'.
