The Create URL Document Step

Add a Create URL Document step to the getQuoteClient.aef script to enter the URL that contains the stock price information.

To configure the Create URL Document customizer window, do the following:

Procedure

Step 1

From the Document Palette in the Palette pane, drag a Create URL Document step to the Design pane, and then drop it over the Accept step icon.

The Create URL Document step icon appears in the Design pane, just below, and on the same level as, the Accept step icon.

Step 2

Right-click the new Create URL Document step icon.

A popup menu appears.

Step 3

Choose Properties.

The Create URL Document customizer window appears.

Step 4

In the URL text field, enter the following URL: 

“http://127.0.0.1:8080/getquote”

This URL is composed of the following three parts:

  • The IP address of the web server—This example uses the special IP address assigned to the local host. When an HTTP request uses this address, the request is directed to the web server running on the same machine as the client that issued the request.

  • The port number of the web server—This example uses the default port number used by the HTTP subsystem web server. If the web server uses the standard HTTP port (port 80), you can omit this part of the URL.

  • The HTTP script—In this example, the string “getquote” invokes the server script described in the previous section.

Step 5

From the Document drop-down menu, choose doc.

This choice defines the document that contains the information found in the URL.

Step 6

Click OK.

The Create URL Document customizer window closes.

You are now ready to add the next step to the getQuoteClient.aef script in the Design pane of the Cisco Unified CCX Editor.
