<h2 class="notoc" id="abstract">Abstract</h2>
<p>This document describes CCXML, or the Call Control eXtensible Markup Language. CCXML is designed to provide telephony call
control support for dialog systems, such as VoiceXML [<cite><a href="#ref-VoiceXML" shape="rect">VOICEXML</a></cite>]. While
CCXML can be used with any dialog systems capable of handling media, CCXML has been designed to complement and integrate with a
VoiceXML interpreter. Because of this there are many references to VoiceXML's capabilities and limitations. There are also
details on how VoiceXML and CCXML can be integrated. However, it should be noted that the two languages are separate and are
not required in an implementation of either language. For example, CCXML could be integrated with a more traditional
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system or a 3GPP Media Resource Function (MRF), and VoiceXML or other dialog systems could be
integrated with other call control systems.</p>
<h2 id="Status">Status of this Document</h2>
<p><em>This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this
document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/TR/" shape="rect">W3C technical reports index</a> at http://www.w3.org/TR/.</em></p>
<p>This is the 05 July 2011 Recommendation of "Call Control eXtensible Markup Language
(CCXML) Version 1.0". There were no changes since the Proposed Recommendation document. </p>
<p>The W3C Membership and other interested parties are invited to review the document and send comments to the Working Group's public mailing list <a href="mailto:www-voice@w3.org">www-voice@w3.org</a> (<a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-voice/">archive</a>). See <a href="http://www.w3.org/Mail/">W3C mailing list and archive usage guidelines</a>.</p>
<p>This specification describes the Call Control XML (CCXML) markup language that is designed to provide telephony call control
support for VoiceXML or other dialog systems.</p>
<p>This document has been produced as part of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Voice/Activity.html" shape="rect">Voice Browser
Activity</a>. The authors of this document are participants in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Voice/" shape="rect">Voice
Browser Working Group</a>. For more information see the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Voice/#faq" shape="rect">Voice Browser
FAQ</a>. </p>
<p>During the Candidate Recommendation phase, four independently developed implementations were evaluated. The entrance criteria for the Proposed Recommendation phase requires a minimum of two independently developed interoperable implementations for each required feature, two or more implementations of optional features that would impact interoperability, and a minimum of one implementation for each optional feature that has no impact on interoperability. These requirements were met. For further details and complete results please see section 7 of the <a href="ccxml-ir/#results">CCXML Implementation Report</a>. Comments received during the Candidate Recommendation period can be found in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/PR-ccxml-20110510/CCXML_DoC-2011-03-31.html">Disposition of Comments</a>.</p>
<p>This document has been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by other W3C groups and interested parties, and is endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or cited from another document. W3C's role in making the Recommendation is to draw attention to the specification and to promote its widespread deployment. This enhances the functionality and interoperability of the Web.</p>

<h2 id="introduction">1: Introduction</h2>
<p>This document describes CCXML, the Call Control eXtensible Markup Language. CCXML provides declarative markup to describe
telephony call control. CCXML is a language that can be used with a dialog system such as VoiceXML [<cite><a href=
"#ref-VoiceXML" shape="rect">VOICEXML</a></cite>].</p>
<p>CCXML can provide a complete telephony service application, comprised of Web server <acronym title=
"Common Gateway Interface">CGI</acronym> compliant application logic, one or more CCXML documents to declare and perform call
control actions, and to control one or more dialog applications that perform user media interactions</p>
<p>Since platforms implementing CCXML may choose to use one of many telephony call control definitions (JAIN Call Control
[<cite><a href="#ref_JSR021" shape="rect">JSR021</a></cite>], ECMA CSTA [<cite><a href="#ref_CSTA" shape=
"rect">CSTA</a></cite>], S.100 [<cite><a href="#ref_S.100" shape="rect">S.100</a></cite>], etc.), the call control model in
CCXML has been designed to be sufficiently abstract so that it can accommodate all major definitions. For relatively simple
types of call control, this abstraction is straightforward. The philosophy in this regard has been to "make simple things
simple to do." Outdial, transfer (redirect), two-party bridging, and many forms of multi-party conferences fall within this
classification.</p>
<p>Figure 1 shows the architecture of a telephony implementation consisting of four primary components:</p>
<ul>
<li>a caller (along with the telephone network),</li>
<li>a dialog system (e.g. a VoiceXML implementation),</li>
<li>a conference server used to mix media streams,</li>
<li>and the CCXML implementation which manages the Connections between the first two components.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Telephony Web Application may or may not be integrated with the Voice Web Application.</p>
<p>The Telephony Control and Dialog Control Interfaces may be implemented as an API or protocol.</p>
<p>The components as shown in the figure below represent logical functions, and are not meant to imply any particular
architecture.</p>
<p class="fig"><img src="images/VoiceXML%2BCCXML.png" alt="CCXML architecture overview" /><br clear="none" />
Figure 1</p>
<h2 id="background">2: Motivation (Informative)</h2>
<p>CCXML is designed to complement dialog systems such as VoiceXML by providing advanced telephony functions. It also can be
used as a third-party call control manager in any telephony system. This document contains references to VoiceXML's
capabilities and limitations, as well as details on how VoiceXML and CCXML can be integrated.</p>
<p>The CCXML specification originated from the desire to handle call control requirements that were beyond the scope of the
VoiceXML specification. The following requirements are addressed by this specification:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for multi-party conferencing, with advanced conference and audio control. A conferencing application involves
multiple participants, and is dependent upon call control to establish relationships between those participants.</li>
<li>The ability to give each active call leg its own dedicated VoiceXML interpreter. For example, in VoiceXML, the second leg
of a transferred call lacks a VoiceXML interpreter of its own, limiting the scope of possible applications.</li>
<li>Sophisticated multiple-call handling and control, including the ability to place outgoing calls.</li>
<li>Handling for a richer class of asynchronous events. Advanced telephony operations involve substantial amounts of signals,
status events, and message-passing. VoiceXML 2.0 does not integrate asynchronous "external" events into its event-processing
model.</li>
<li>VoiceXML lacks the external interfaces required to interact with an outside call queue, or place calls on behalf of an
external document server</li>
</ul>
<p>CCXML and VoiceXML implementations are not mutually dependent. A CCXML implementation may or may not support voice dialogs,
or may support dialog languages other than VoiceXML.</p>
<h2 id="concepts">3: Concepts and Architecture</h2>
<p>A <a href="#def-ccxmlApplication" shape="rect">CCXML application</a> consists of a collection of CCXML documents that
control and manage the objects listed below:</p>
<ul>
<li id="def-session">CCXML Session: A <a href="#def-session" shape="rect">CCXML session</a> is comprised of an executing
CCXML document, or sequence of CCXML documents; each concurrently executing CCXML document is a separate session, and can be
uniquely identified and referenced.</li>
<li id="def-connection">Connection: <a href="#def-connection" shape="rect">Connections</a> can be "call legs" (real-world
phone connections) or system resources to facilitate interaction with a <a href="#def-dialog" shape="rect">voice dialog</a>.
Media streams between <a href="#def-connection" shape="rect">Connections</a>, or between <a href="#def-connection" shape=
"rect">Connections</a> and <a href="#def-conference" shape="rect">Conference objects</a>, need to be tracked by the <a href=
"#def-ccxmlInterpreter" shape="rect">CCXML interpreter</a> and will take real system resources, but do not need a dedicated
identifier because they are identified by their endpoints. Ownership of <a href="#def-connection" shape=
"rect">Connections</a> can be moved from one session to another using <code>&lt;move&gt;</code>.</li>
<li id="def-conference">Conference object: A <a href="#def-conference" shape="rect">Conference Object</a> models a resource
for mixing media streams. In order to accommodate the widest range of underlying telephony call control definitions, CCXML
assumes a separate <a href="#def-conference" shape="rect">Conference Object</a>, realizing that this abstraction may not have
a direct counterpart in all telephony platforms. See <code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code> and
<code>&lt;destroyconference&gt;</code> for further information.</li>
<li id="def-dialog">Dialog: When active, a Dialog may interact with other Connections or Conferences using one-way or two-way
media streams, often under the control of dialog environment such as VoiceXML.</li>
</ul>
<p>CCXML programs manipulate these entities through elements defined in the CCXML language. They can also send and/or receive
asynchronous events associated with these entities.</p>
<p>CCXML programs directly manipulate <a href="#def-connection" shape="rect">Connection Objects</a> and <a href=
"#def-conference" shape="rect">Conference Objects</a> with various elements in the language, such as
<code>&lt;accept&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;join&gt;</code>. CCXML may also receive
events from <a href="#def-connection" shape="rect">Connection</a> and <a href="#def-conference" shape="rect">Conference
Objects</a>, in the case of line signaling, line-status informational messages, or error and failure scenarios.</p>
<p>CCXML programs can start and kill <a href="#def-dialog" shape="rect">Voice Dialogs</a> using language elements. It can
receive events from <a href="#def-dialog" shape="rect">Voice Dialogs</a>, which may be standardized events such as
<code>dialog.exit</code>, or application-specific ones. CCXML can support sending of an event to a <a href="#def-dialog" shape=
"rect">Voice Dialog</a>.</p>
<p>CCXML programs can create other <a href="#def-session" shape="rect">CCXML sessions</a> using
<code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>. This is the only guaranteed control mechanism a <a href="#def-session" shape="rect">CCXML
Session</a> ever wields over another. Any other interaction takes place through the event mechanism. <a href="#def-session"
shape="rect">CCXML Sessions</a> can both send and receive events between one another.</p>
<h3 id="events">3.1: Event Processing</h3>
<p>Telephone applications need to receive and process large numbers of events in real-time. These events arrive from outside
the program itself - either the underlying telephony platform, or from other sources of events.</p>
<p>A CCXML program includes event handlers which are executed when certain events arrive. There are mechanisms for passing
information back and forth between <a href="#def-dialog" shape="rect">Voice Dialogs</a> (such as VoiceXML) and CCXML, but the
important points are that CCXML:</p>
<ul>
<li>lives on its own thread, and</li>
<li>carries the burden of rapid asynchronous event handling</li>
</ul>
<p>Note: References to threads are meant as logical threads and do not imply any specific platform implementation.</p>
<h3 id="conferencing">3.2: Conferencing</h3>
<p>CCXML provides a powerful and flexible method of creating multi-party calls based on the following concepts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Call legs are audio sinks and sources which can be combined to form arbitrary networks.</li>
<li>A conference is an audio stream that mixes together all the speakers' audio outputs. CCXML conference networks allow for
<a href="#def-conference" shape="rect">conference objects</a>, which mix inputs into a single output channel.</li>
<li>A conference's architecture may be modified dynamically, thus allowing for moderation, floor control, mute, etc.</li>
<li>Media splitters, which take a single input channel and emit it over several outputs, may be used by an implementation to
realize the CCXML model in a given network environment.</li>
<li>Conferencing technology is implementation-dependent. CCXML implementations may not support all conferencing features
mentioned above.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="ConceptsScripting">3.3: Scripting</h3>
<p>The computational semantics of CCXML language is based on the ECMAScript Compact Profile (ES-CP, also known as ECMA-327)
[<cite><a href="#refECMA327" shape="rect">ECMA327</a></cite>]. ES-CP is a strict subset of the third edition of ECMA-262
[<cite><a href="#ref_ECMAScript" shape="rect">ECMASCRIPT</a></cite>]. Execution efficiency is a primary goal of CCXML
implementations, and ES-CP was chosen to ensure that CCXML implementations can operate in a variety of execution environments
and without excessive execution overhead.</p>
<p>The ES-CP document specification states:</p>
<blockquote>
'ECMAScript Compact Profile is a subset of ECMAScript 3rd Edition tailored to resource-constrained devices such as battery
powered embedded devices. Therefore, special attention is paid to constraining ECMAScript features that require
proportionately large amounts of system memory (both for storing and executing the ECMAScript language features) and
continuous or proportionately large amounts of processing power.'
</blockquote>
<p>While CCXML implementations are not necessarily intended for battery powered embedded devices, it is intended to be used in
large, real-time telephony platforms managing thousands of lines. The constraints of ES-CP emphasize CCXML's ongoing concern
for execution efficiency.</p>
<p>Even though ES-CP tends to be implemented using interpreters, CCXML does not require an interpretive implementation. ES-CP
can be compiled to a target language such as C, and thus in turn to machine code, so that CCXML documents which are static can
be rendered once in machine code. For example, a CCXML implementation, for optimization purposes, could translate and compile
frequently used CCXML documents on their way from the document server to the CCXML execution environment in order to avoid
multiplying interpretive overhead by the number of lines that execute the same document.</p>
<p>The emphasis on efficiency in CCXML language is also shown by the avoidance of requirements which can only be implemented
either by interpretation or by run-time evaluation.</p>
<p>The choice of an implementation strategy is up to the CCXML implementer and CCXML language is aimed to allow a range of
design choices in order to accommodate implementations on a wide variety of platforms.</p>
<p>A CCXML implementation <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> support the ECMAScript Compact Profile.</p>
<h4 id="s3.3.1">3.3.1: Implementation Note: Line by line vs Batch ECMAScript execution</h4>
<div>
<p >CCXML implementations <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> provide different
levels of optimization in their ECMAScript interpreters and are expected to be deployed in performance critical environments. One such level of
optimization could be a decision to execute all the executable items
in a <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> as if they were a single script instead of processing them
line by line as is the normal mode of execution. An example of this is the
following bit of CCXML Code:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;assign name=&quot;x&quot; expr=&quot;3&quot;/&gt;
&lt;var name=&quot;x&quot;/&gt;</pre>
<p>In the case where the platform executes CCXML line by line the <code>&lt;assign&gt;</code> statement
will fail with an <code>error.semantic</code> event due to trying to assign to
an <code>undefined</code> variable. However on a platform where the actions are optimized into a single
ECMAScript execution block something like the following code would actually be executed instead:
</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
x=3;
var x;</pre>
<p>Due to how ECMAScript <code>var</code> statements work, declarations are applied before
assignments no matter where they are placed in the code. This script
is actually allowed and the assignment to <code>x</code> will be completed without error.</p>
<p>
Due to this difference in behavior between line by line vs batch execution application developers
<em class="RFC2119">SHOULD NOT</em> depend on the ability to declare variables out of document order
and <em class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> write code such that its behavior is the same whether executed line by line or in a batch.</p>
<p>
A more complex situation can arise if you use the <code>&lt;var&gt;</code> element to declare
transition scoped variables by the same name as <code>session</code> or <code>application</code>
scoped variables inside of an <code>&lt;if&gt;</code> statement. An example of this would be:
</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;if cond=&quot;id==session.id&quot;&gt;
&lt;var name=&quot;id&quot; expr=&quot;&#x27;2&#x27;&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;</pre>
<p >If executed line by line this would end up executing every line in the script and declaring a transition scoped variable named <code>id</code> with a value of 2.
The <code>&lt;if&gt;</code> statement would evaluate to <code>true</code> due to auto scope searching when resolving the <code>id</code> reference into a session scoped variable
and the next line would assign a new transition scoped variable by the name <code>id</code>.
However, if the CCXML implementation were to optimize this into a single
ecmascript chunk you may get something like the following scriptlet:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
if(id==session.id) {
var id = '2';
}</pre>
<p >Due to the way ECMAScript treats var
declarations the initial ID will evaluate as <code>undefined</code> as ECMAScript adds
a implicit <code>var</code> declaration to the top of the script and changes the <code>var</code>
to an assignment leaving you with something that is executed as if it was written like this: </p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
var id;
if(id==session.id) {
id = '2';
}</pre>
<p>This causes a different flow of execution and could cause unexpected program behavior as <code>id</code> in the <code>if</code> statement
will now be <code>undefined</code> instead of being equal to <code>session.id</code>.
Application developers <em class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> consider this bad programing practice and avoid creating scenarios where
applications create and depend on ambiguously scoped variables that use assignments inside conditional blocks with variable names
that are already in use by parent scopes.
</p>
<p>Based on years of implementation experience the CCXML working group believes that CCXML
application code that would be affected by these scenarios is very rare. Any such code
likely relies on unusual ordering of variable declarations and assignment statements or
the use of confusing variable names and scopes; such code is discouraged due to its potential
for producing unintended results.

<li><strong>Event</strong> - An action or occurrence to which an application can respond. Examples of events are incoming
phone calls, dialog actions or user defined events. Events in CCXML are modeled as ECMAScript objects and can contain complex
values. All events in CCXML have a standard set of properties as defined in section <a href="#s9.4.2">9.4.2: Standard Event

Associative arrays in ECMAScript are implemented using an Object with sub properties.</li>
<li><strong>Class</strong> - CCXML Classes are ECMAScript Constructor objects (see section 4.2.1 of the ECMAScript
specification for more information) to help in creating the appropriate type of object instances (such as connection,
conference and dialog). The Constructor object may contain properties that are not inherited by children objects (such as
Connection.states). The constructor object <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> also contain a Prototype property to allow properties
that are inherited. Platforms <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> choose to add properties to classes. By convention, the properties
<em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> begin with an underscore, "_", to identify them as platform-dependent. All defined objects in
this specification must be initiated via one of these classes. An example would be <code>'MyConnection = new
Connection()'.</code>
The Connection class <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> initiate connection objects, the Dialog class
<em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> initiate dialog objects and the Conference class <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> initiate
conference objects.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="SessionLifeCycle">3.5: Session Life-Cycle</h3>
<h4 id="SessionLifeCycleStartup">3.5.1: Startup</h4>
<p>A CCXML session can be started for the following reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>A new incoming phone call coming into the platform.</li>
<li>A CCXML application executing a <code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>.</li>
<li>An external session launch request coming into the platform.</li>
</ul>
<p>To create a CCXML session, the URI for the initial CCXML document must be known, along with any fetching parameters
affecting how that CCXML document is retrieved. For incoming calls, the selection of the initial URI and fetching parameters is
platform-dependent, and <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> be based on information from the incoming call. Sessions created via
<code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code> and the session creation event I/O processor determine the initial URI and fetching parameters
as stated in this specification.</p>
<p>When a session is started due to an incoming call it has ownership of the new Connection that caused it to be created. The
new CCXML session will be responsible for processing the Connection state events and performing the Connection actions. If the
session was started because of a <code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>, it will start without ownership of any event endpoints. In
the case of an external session launch the session will not own any event endpoints.</p>
<p>A CCXML application can determine the reason its session was started by evaluating the contents of the
<code>session.startupmode</code> session variable that is defined in the <a href="#session_variables" shape="rect">Session
Variables</a> section.</p>
<h4 id="SessionLifeCycleShutdown">3.5.2: Shutdown</h4>
<p>A CCXML session can end in one of the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>The CCXML application executes an <code>&lt;exit&gt;</code>.</li>
<li>An unhandled <code>"error.*"</code> event.</li>
<li>An unhandled <code>"ccxml.kill"</code> event.</li>
<li>A <code>"ccxml.kill.unconditional"</code> event.</li>
</ul>
<p>When a CCXML session ends, all active connections, conferences and dialogs that are owned by that session are automatically
terminated by the platform.</p>
<h4 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams">3.5.3: Session Life-Cycle Diagrams</h4>
<p>The following diagrams illustrate the session life-cycle of several different scenarios. These diagrams do not show all
possible scenarios but rather show some of the most common ones that CCXML applications may encounter.</p>
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams1">3.5.3.1: session can live before and after active connections (or no connections at
all)</h5>
<p>A CCXML session does not necessarily need to have any connections associated with it. After starting, a session may acquire
connections as a result of <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> requests.</p><img alt=
"Session lifecycle diagram" src="lifecyclepics/1.png" />
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams2">3.5.3.2: connection life shorter than session</h5>
<p>In this example, the session is started due to an incoming call. A connection is typically shorter than a session. A session
does not end when a connection terminates.</p><img alt="Session lifecycle diagram" src="lifecyclepics/2.png" />
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams3">3.5.3.3: session ends, kills all active connections</h5>
<p>When a session ends, any resources, including connections owned by that session are terminated.</p><img alt=
"Session lifecycle diagram" src="lifecyclepics/3.png" />
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagram4">3.5.3.4: session can have multiple sequential connections</h5>
<p>A session can have multiple sequential connections</p><img alt="Session lifecycle diagram" src="lifecyclepics/4.png" />
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams5">3.5.3.5: session can have multiple sequential connections and multiple concurrent
connections</h5>
<p>In addition to having multiple sequential connections, a session can have multiple concurrent connections.</p><img alt=
"Session lifecycle diagram" src="lifecyclepics/5.png" />
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams6">3.5.3.5: move a connection to a newly created session</h5>
<p>A connection can be moved from one CCXML session to another session. In the figure below, CCXML session (1) creates a new
CCXML session (2) via <code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>. Then, the connection is moved from the original CCXML session to the
new session.</p><img alt="Session lifecycle diagram" src="lifecyclepics/6.png" />
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams7">3.5.3.7: move a connection to a "master" session</h5>
<p>A connection can be moved from one CCXML session to another session, such as a "master" session.</p><img alt=
"Session lifecycle diagram" src="lifecyclepics/7.png" />
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams8">3.5.3.8: optional "master" session for inbound call handling</h5>
<p>Implementations <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em>, as a platform-specific optimization, choose to deliver more than one inbound
call to a single "master" session. This can be viewed as equivalent to sessions handling incoming calls performing a
<code>&lt;move&gt;</code>, as described in 3.5.3.7, of the new Connection (including the <code>connection.alerting</code>
event) to the single "master" CCXML session.</p>
<p>The default inbound call handling behavior for CCXML implementations is to create a new CCXML session and deliver the
<code>connection.alerting</code> event to it. If a platform supports delivery of multiple inbound calls to a single session,
the way this is configured is implementation specific.</p><img alt="Session lifecycle diagram" src="lifecyclepics/8.png" />
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams9">3.5.3.9: <code>ccxml.kill.unconditional</code> event raised</h5>
<p>If at anytime a <code>ccxml.kill.unconditional</code> event is raised by the underlying implementation, the CCXML session is
immediately terminated and all active connections, conferences and dialogs that are owned by that session are automatically
terminated by the platform.</p><img alt="Session lifecycle diagram" src="lifecyclepics/9.png" />
<h5 id="SessionLifeCycleDiagrams10">3.5.3.10: Normal session shutdown requested by the platform</h5>
<p>If at anytime the platform wishes to terminate a CCXML session it <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> raise a
<code>ccxml.kill</code> event to inform the CCXML application. The normal response to this event is for the CCXML application
to perform any clean up and termination of current active connections, conferences or dialogs and then execute an
<code>&lt;exit&gt;</code> element.</p>
<p>If the CCXML application does not respond to the <code>ccml.kill</code> event in a timely manner the platform <em class=
"RFC2119">MAY</em> then raise a <code>ccxml.kill.unconditional</code> event to immediately terminate the CCXML session and all
active connections, conferences, and dialogs that are owned by the session.</p><img alt="Session lifecycle diagram" src=
"lifecyclepics/10.png" />
<h2 id="SimpleExamples">4: Simple Examples</h2>
<h3 id="SimpleExamplesHelloWorld">4.1: Hello World</h3>
<p>This simple CCXML document shows an example of a "hello world" application that is started due to an incoming call where the
application simply assigns a value to a variable, prints a message to the platform log and exits:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;ccxml version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/ccxml"&gt;
&lt;eventprocessor&gt;
&lt;transition event="connection.alerting"&gt;
&lt;var name="MyVariable" expr="'This is a CCXML Variable'"/&gt;
&lt;log expr="'Hello World. I just made a variable: ' + MyVariable"/&gt;
&lt;log expr="'Lets hang up on this incoming call.'"/&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;/eventprocessor&gt;
&lt;/ccxml&gt;
</pre>
<h3 id="SimpleExamplesAcceptReject">4.2: Accept or Reject a Call</h3>
<p>This CCXML document shows an example of how to process a incoming call event and answer or reject the call based on the
phone number of the calling party:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;ccxml version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/ccxml"&gt;

&lt;log expr="'Go away! we do not want to answer the phone.'"/&gt;
&lt;reject/&gt;
&lt;else/&gt;
&lt;log expr="'We like you! We are going to answer the call.'"/&gt;
&lt;accept/&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;transition event="connection.connected"&gt;
&lt;log expr="'Call was answered,Time to disconnect it.'"/&gt;
&lt;disconnect/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;transition event="connection.disconnected"&gt;
&lt;log expr="'Call has been disconnected. Ending CCXML Session.'"/&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;/eventprocessor&gt;
&lt;/ccxml&gt;
</pre>
<h3 id="SimpleExamplesSimpleDialog">4.3: Simple Dialog</h3>
<p>This is an example of running a simple VoiceXML dialog from CCXML. The application answers an incoming phone call and then
connects it to a VoiceXML dialog that returns a value that is then logged to the platform:</p>
<h4 id="SimpleExamplesSimpleDialogDialogCCXML">dialog.ccxml:</h4>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">

<h2 id="control-flow">6: Document Control Flow and Execution</h2>
<h3 id="flowOverview">6.1: Overview</h3>
<p>A CCXML session begins with the execution of a CCXML document. The flow of the execution can be changed with the help of
<code>&lt;if&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;elseif&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;else&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code>, and
<code>&lt;goto&gt;</code>. Most of a CCXML session's execution will take place within an <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code>,
which processes a stream of incoming events.</p>
<p>A CCXML session can consist of multiple CCXML documents, traversed by use of <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code> and
<code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>A new CCXML session has a new session object (<code>session.*</code>). A CCXML session can contain multiple active
connections.</p>
<p>A CCXML session may launch a new CCXML session using <code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>. The new CCXML session executes in an
independent context and variable space from the original CCXML session, completely independent of the lifetime of the original
session. Sessions can communicate by sending messages via <code>&lt;send&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>This media type <em class="RFC2119">should</em> be used for a XML document containing CCXML content, see Appendix M.</p>
<h3 id="flowelements">6.2: Elements</h3>
<p>This section details the CCXML elements for control flow and execution.</p>
<h4 id="Ccxml">6.2.1: <code>&lt;ccxml&gt;</code></h4>
<h5 id="s6.2.1.1">6.2.1.1: Overview</h5>
<p>This is the parent element of a CCXML document and encloses the entire CCXML script in a document. When a
<code>&lt;ccxml&gt;</code> is executed, its child elements are collected logically together at the beginning of the document
and executed in document order before the target <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code>. This is called document
initialization.</p>
<p>The <code>&lt;ccxml&gt;</code> can designate the CCXML namespace. This can be achieved by declaring an <code>xmlns</code>
attribute or an attribute with an " <code>xmlns</code> " prefix. See <a href="#ref_XMLNS" shape="rect">[XMLNS]</a> for details.
Note that when the <code>xmlns</code> attribute is used alone, it sets the default namespace for the element on which it
appears and for any child elements. The namespace URI for CCXML is "http://www.w3.org/2002/09/ccxml".</p>

<h5 id="s6.2.4.1-if">6.2.4.1: Overview</h5>
<p><code>&lt;if&gt;</code> is a container for conditionally executed elements. <code>&lt;else&gt;</code> and
<code>&lt;elseif&gt;</code> can optionally appear within an <code>&lt;if&gt;</code> as immediate children, and serve to
partition the elements within an <code>&lt;if&gt;</code>. <code>&lt;else&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;elseif&gt;</code> have no
content. <code>&lt;else/&gt;</code> is a synonym for <code>&lt;elseif cond="true"/&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>Each partition within an <code>&lt;if&gt;</code> is preceded by an element having a <code>cond</code> attribute. The initial
partition is preceded by the <code>&lt;if&gt;</code> and subsequent partitions by <code>&lt;elseif&gt;</code>s (or
<code>&lt;else&gt;</code>s). The first partition in document order with a <code>cond</code> that evaluates to <code>true</code>
is selected. <code>&lt;else&gt;</code> always evaluate to <code>true</code>. A partition <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> be
empty.</p>
<p>If an <code>&lt;if&gt;</code> has no immediate <code>&lt;elseif&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;else&gt;</code> children, the full
contents of the <code>&lt;if&gt;</code> will be selected when the <code>cond</code> attribute is <code>true</code>.</p>
<p><code>&lt;else&gt;</code> was chosen to match similar concepts in other languages, and supports examples such as</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;if cond="..."&gt;
&lt;!-- selected when &lt;if cond&gt; is true --&gt;
&lt;else/&gt;
&lt;!-- selected when &lt;if cond&gt; is false --&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
</pre>
<p>However, <code>&lt;else&gt;</code> is a synonym for <code>&lt;elseif cond="true"/&gt;</code>, so an example such as</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;if cond="..."&gt;
&lt;!-- selected when &lt;if cond&gt; is true --&gt;
&lt;else/&gt;
&lt;!-- selected when &lt;if cond&gt; is false --&gt;
&lt;else/&gt;
&lt;!-- never selected --&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
</pre>is also possible and <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be interpreted as
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;if cond="..."&gt;
&lt;!-- selected when &lt;if cond&gt; is true --&gt;

&lt;!-- selected when &lt;if cond&gt; is false --&gt;
&lt;elseif cond="true"/&gt;
&lt;!-- never selected --&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;

<h4 id="Fetch">6.2.7: <code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code></h4>
<h5 id="s6.2.7.1">6.2.7.1: Overview</h5>
<p><code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code> is used to asynchronously fetch content identified by the attributes of the
<code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code>. The fetched content may be a CCXML document, script content or other document types supported by
the CCXML platform. Content that has been acquired using <code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code> is accessible through other elements
defined by CCXML and via the content attribute of the <code>fetch.done</code> event. Execution returns from the element
immediately, and the CCXML application can continue on while the platform works to fetch the identified resource. When the
fetch request has been completed, an event is generated against the session that initiated the fetch. If the requested content
was fetched successfully, and in the case of CCXML content, was successfully parsed and validated, a <code>fetch.done</code>
<em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be generated. If the requested content failed to be fetched, an <code>error.fetch</code>
<em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be generated. Note that even if content is successfully fetched, errors in processing fetched
content (for instance, a CCXML document with a syntax error) may result in an <code>error.fetch</code> being thrown.</p>
<p>The fetch request is local to the session that initiated the <code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code>, and is referenced through a unique
identifier generated by the CCXML platform. The application may obtain the unique identifier for a fetch request by providing
an ECMAScript left-hand-side expression in the <code>fetchid</code> attribute when the fetch is performed. The fetch identifier
can also be obtained as a property of the <code>fetch.done</code> event. The application uses the fetch identifier in any CCXML
elements that reference fetched content, currently <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;script&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>Fetched content that could be referenced via a <code>fetchid</code> (eg, a CCXML or ECMAScript Document) that was fetched in
<code>processed</code> mode has a lifetime that is limited to that of the document in which it is fetched. Therefore, following
a transition to a new CCXML document using <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code>, content fetched in the scope of the current document is
no longer accessible. Note that this should not be taken to preclude platform-level optimizations or caching of resources that
are fetched multiple times.</p>
<p>All other content is only accessible via the content attribute of the <code>fetch.done</code> event. If the application
needs access to the content outside of the <code>fetch.done</code> event transition it is the responsibility of the application
to save a reference in an appropriately scoped variable.</p>
<p>Content referenced via <code>fetchid</code> (for example via <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code>)
<em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be fetched using <code>processed</code> mode.</p>
<p>The use of <code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code> to obtain content does not compel the application to make use of that content.
However, it is wasteful of system resources to fetch resources that are not used. Platforms are responsible for clearing out
unused fetch resources, and may impose limits on the resources that can be fetched by a single session.</p>
<p>The "http" URI scheme <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be supported by CCXML platforms, the "https" protocol <em class=
"RFC2119">should</em> be supported and other URI protocols <em class="RFC2119">may</em> be supported.</p>
<p>If the platform does not support the content type returned from a <code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code> request but the fetch does
successfully complete (for example HTTP 2xx response code) the platform <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> still throw a
<code>fetch.done</code> event for the <code>fetchid</code>.</p>
<p>If the platform implements a security model (such as Access Control for Cross-site Requests <a href="#ref-access-control"
shape="rect">[ACCESS-CONTROL]</a>) and the request is denied due to the security model an <code>error.notallowed</code> event
<em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be thrown.</p>
<p>INFORMATIVE NOTE: It is expected in future versions of CCXML additional forms of processed fetch modes will be added.
Examples of these could be dom or e4x mappings of raw XML content.</p>

<h5 id="s6.2.8.1">6.2.8.1: Overview</h5>
<p><code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code>, in conjunction with <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code>, is used to transfer execution to a different
CCXML document in a multi-document CCXML application. The <code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code> tells the platform to find, load, and
parse a given CCXML document. After the fetch completes, the CCXML application can then issue a <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code> to
execute the now-fetched document.</p>
<p>Below is a small snippet of code from the CCXML application's event handler. We execute a <code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code>
operation, and continue on to assign to a state variable, and maybe handle more events. Eventually, the fetch completes, the
CCXML platform services the event, and the application performs the <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code>.</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;fetch next="'http://www.example.com/control.ccxml'"/&gt;
&lt;--control continues here-&gt;
&lt;assign name="state_var" expr="'fetch_wait'"/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!-- &hellip;&hellip;&hellip; --&gt;
&lt;transition state="fetch_wait" event="fetch.done"/&gt;
&lt;goto fetchid="event$.fetchid"/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
</pre>
<p>A <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code> transfers control to the document obtained through a fetch request, using the platform-generated
unique identifier associated with that fetch request. The fetch completion event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> have arrived
before the <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code> is executed, otherwise, an <code>error.semantic</code> event is generated. If the fetched
content referenced by the fetch identifier is not a CCXML document, or the fetch identifier is invalid and does not correspond
to any fetch request, this also results in an <code>error.semantic</code> event.</p>
<p>When a <code>&lt;goto&gt;</code> is executed, the target document replaces the current document in its session. Event
sources associated with this session are inherited by the target document. Execution of the current document terminates.</p>

<p>The <code>kill</code> event can be used by the platform to terminate a session without an explicit

<p>The <code>ccxml.kill</code> event can be caught, typically to perform a clean-up operation at the end of a session. If the
event is caught the session will not be terminated unless an <code>&lt;exit&gt;</code> element is processed. If the event is
not caught the session will be terminated and all active connections, conferences and dialogs that are owned by that session
will be automatically terminated by the platform.</p>
<p>Unlike other events, the <code>ccxml.kill.unconditional</code> event is the only event that cannot be caught by an
application; it will unconditionally terminate the session and all active connections, conferences and dialogs that are owned
by that session will be automatically terminated by the platform.</p>
<p>Note that while the normal cause of a <code>ccxml.kill</code> or <code>ccxml.kill.unconditional</code> event being queued to
a session is that the platform wishes to terminate the session, it is legal for any event I/O processor to generate a
<code>ccxml.kill</code> or <code>ccxml.kill.unconditional</code> event. For instance, it is legal for one CCXML session to
unconditionally kill another session by sending a <code>ccxml.kill.unconditional</code> event using <code>&lt;send&gt;</code>.
Note, however, that platforms may impose rules that prevent one session from arbitrarily killing another (to prevent malicious
applications, for instance).</p>

<h2 id="dialogs">7: Dialogs</h2>
<h3 id="dialogsOverview">7.1: Overview</h3>
<p>CCXML does not provide any mechanism for interacting with callers but relies on separate dialog environments such as
VoiceXML [<cite><a href="#ref-VoiceXML" shape="rect">VOICEXML</a></cite>]. Whenever interaction with a caller is required, a
CCXML session can create a separate dialog to perform that interaction. After the dialog interaction is complete, an
asynchronous event is sent to the CCXML session which can use any results returned by the dialog environment to decide what
should happen next.</p>
<p>Dialogs initiated by CCXML sessions are not tied to any single dialog language or technology. Any dialog system which
fulfils CCXML's requirements <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> be used for interaction with the caller. Examples of dialog systems
include VoiceXML, SALT, traditional <acronym title=
"Interactive Voice Response">IVR</acronym>, 3GPP <acronym title="Media Resource Function">MRF</acronym> as well as simple media
handling systems for fax, media playback and recording, DTMF detection, answer-machine detectors, etc. A CCXML platform
<em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> support interaction with several dialog systems with the selection of the particular technology
being based on the MIME type specified when the dialog is initiated.</p>
<p>All CCXML elements that manipulate dialogs are asynchronous with control returning immediately to the CCXML session after
the operation is initiated. The CCXML session is notified when the dialog operation successfully completes, or fails, by an
asynchronous event. Execution of a <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> without preparation
creates a Dialog Object immediately, allowing the Dialog Object to be accessed following the
<code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;/&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code>, within the same transition. However, existence of the Dialog Object
does not guarantee anything about the success of the <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;/&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> request.</p>
<p>A CCXML program initiates a dialog using the <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> element. Execution of this element connects a
dialog environment to a connection and instructs it to start interacting with the caller. For some dialog environments it may
take some time to initialize the dialog environment and thus the use of the <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> element alone may
cause the caller to hear silence, or "dead air". To avoid this situation CCXML provides an ability to ready a dialog
environment prior to connecting and starting it, this is done using the <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> element. Any dialog
that has been either started with <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code>, or prepared with <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> can be
terminated using the <code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> element. CCXML implementations <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> support
the <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> elements
though the exact behavior may vary depending on the dialog environments supported.</p>
<p>The following examples illustrate the valid use patterns for these three elements. Firstly the normal case of preparing a
dialog, starting it, then optionally terminating it before normal completion. This example illustrates the use of
<code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> to ready a dialog while the call is left in alerting state. When the alerting notification
arrives the script executes a <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> to prepare a dialog and associate it with the connection. When
the dialog is prepared the script executes an <code>&lt;accept&gt;</code> to connect the call and then when the connection
transitions to connected state, a <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> element is used to execute the previously prepared
dialog.</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;transition event=&quot;connection.alerting&quot;&gt;
&lt;dialogprepare dialogid=&quot;preparedId&quot; src=&quot;...&quot; connectionid=&quot;event$.connectionid&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;transition event=&quot;dialog.prepared&quot;&gt;
&lt;accept connectionid=&quot;event$.connectionid&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;transition event=&quot;connection.connected&quot; &gt;
&lt;dialogstart prepareddialogid=&quot;preparedId&quot;
connectionid=&quot;event$.connectionid&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;

&lt;transition event=&quot;???&quot;&gt;
&lt;dialogterminate dialogid=&quot;...&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
</pre>
<p>The next example shows a single step dialog invocation without dialog preparation. In this case a connection in alerting
state is accepted and, when the transition to connected state occurs, a <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> element is used to
start the dialog.</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;transition event="connection.alerting"&gt;
&lt;accept connectionid="event$.connectionid"/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;transition event="connection.connected"&gt;
&lt;dialogstart src="..." connectionid="event$.connectionid"/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
<i>(optionally)</i>
&lt;transition event="???"&gt;
&lt;dialogterminate dialogid="..." /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
</pre>
<p>This next example shows the preparation of a dialog for an outbound call:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;transition event=&quot;...&quot;&gt;
&lt;dialogprepare src=&quot;...&quot; dialogid=&quot;preparedId&quot;&gt; &lt;!-- no connectionid --&gt; &lt;/transition&gt; &lt;transition event=&quot;dialog.prepared&quot; &gt;
&lt;createcall dest=&quot;...&quot; joinid=&quot;event$.dialogid&quot;&gt; &lt;!-- use joinid --&gt; &lt;/transition&gt; &lt;transition event=&quot;connection.connected&quot;&gt;
&lt;dialogstart prepareddialogid=&quot;preparedId&quot;
connectionid=&quot;event$.connectionid&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
</pre>
<p>The final example shows the case where a dialog which has been previously prepared is cancelled before a
<code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> has been issued. A dialog may be terminated when it is in the prepared state or while it is
being prepared such as might be the case if the caller hangs up at some arbitrary point. In this case the
<code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> may be executed before or after the <code>dialog.prepared</code> event is processed.</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;transition event=&quot;connection.connected&quot;&gt;
&lt;dialogprepare dialogid=&quot;preparedId&quot; src=&quot;...&quot; connectionid=&quot;event$.connectionid&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;transition event=&quot;connection.disconnected&quot; &gt;
&lt;dialogterminate dialogid=&quot;preparedId&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
</pre>
<p>It is possible for Dialogs to exist that are not joined to a Connection or a Conference. For example, this could be due to a
Connection disconnecting, or due to the application performing an <code>&lt;unjoin/&gt;</code> operation.</p>

<h4 id="dialogprepare">7.2.1: <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code></h4>
<h5 id="s7.2.1.1">7.2.1.1: Overview</h5>
<p><code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> is used to get an appropriate dialog handler ready to process, it is used as the
precursor to a <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> request. The element includes a URI reference to the initial document for the
dialog. The new dialog is prepared on a separate logical execution thread (this may be a thread, process, or system depending
upon platform implementation) and does not block the processing of further events by the CCXML session. The use of the
<code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> element is entirely optional, applications may choose to simply use
<code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> without prior preparation.</p>
<p>Optionally the new dialog may be associated with a connection by specifying the <code>connectionid</code> attribute, or with
a conference by specifying the <code>conferenceid</code> attribute.</p>
<p>When preparation of the dialog completes successfully a <code>dialog.prepared</code> event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be
posted to the event queue of the CCXML session. If however the dialog cannot be prepared for any reason, an
<code>error.dialog.notprepared</code> event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be posted. However should the dialog be terminated
using <code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> while it is being prepared the platform <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> only post a
<code>dialog.exit</code> event.</p>
<p>CCXML implementations <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> support dialog preparation though the processing carried out as part of
a <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> request is dialog manager specific. In the case of a dialog manager that does not support
preparation, the CCXML implementation <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> as a minimum, note the values provided in the
<code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> attributes, create a Dialog object, and return a new unique value to the location defined by
the <code>dialogid</code> attribute and throw a <code>dialog.prepared</code> event.</p>
<p>The CCXML session selects what it believes to be the appropriate dialog manager based on the MIME type specified by the
<code>type</code> attribute without retrieving the resource specified by the <code>src</code> URI. If, when the dialog manager
retrieves the content, it finds the MIME type, as specified by the <acronym title="Hyper Text Transfer Protocol">HTTP</acronym>
headers, differs from that specifed by the <code>type</code> attribute, it <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> raise an
<code>error.dialog.notprepared</code> event with a <code>reason</code> indicating the type mismatch. The dialog manager
<em class="RFC2119">MUST NOT</em> ignore the type mismatch or render the resource as a different type based on the
<acronym title="Hyper Text Transfer Protocol">HTTP</acronym> headers or on inspection of the document data. Refer to the W3C
guidelines for client handling of MIME types [<cite><a href="#ref-TAG-MIMEtypes" shape="rect">MIME-TAG</a></cite>] for further

<p><code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> is used to start a dialog and associate the dialog with a connection or conference. (See

When the dialog completes, a <code>dialog.exit</code> event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be posted.</p>
<p>If the <code>connectionid</code> attribute of <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> is specified, and if the dialog language
allows access to telephony variables such as ANI, DNIS and UUI, values of these variables <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be

<h4 id="dialogEventsOverview">7.3.1: Overview</h4>
<p>The majority of communication between CCXML interpreter sessions and dialogs is by way of events. Dialog environments post
events to the CCXML interpreter event queue and a CCXML application MAY send an event to a dialog. How this is handled on the
dialog side is dialog manager and CCXML interpreter dependent. On the CCXML side it is done by using <code>&lt;send&gt;</code>
and passing in the <code>dialogid</code> that was received as a result of processing a <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> or a
<code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>The following are the CCXML events related to dialogs:</p>

<h2 id="variables">8: Variables and Expressions</h2>
<h3 id="variablesOverview">8.1: Overview</h3>
<p>CCXML expressions are valid ECMAScript [ <cite><a href="#ref_ECMAScript" shape="rect">ECMASCRIPT</a></cite> ] expressions,
assignable to variables with valid ECMAScript names. For further details please see <a href="#ConceptsScripting" shape=
"rect">section 3.4</a>.</p>
<p>Many CCXML elements have multiple attributes that are ECMAScript expressions. The CCXML language does not guarantee a
specific order of evaluation of these expressions. Also, some elements such as <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> may or may not
evaluate all attributes. Hence, attributes containing expressions with side-effects can lead to implementation specific
behavior. It is <em class="RFC2119">RECOMMENDED</em> that applications do not use ECMAScript expressions with side-effects in
attributes.</p>
<p>If the implementation is unable to evaluate an ECMAScript expression it <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> throw an
<code>error.semantic</code> event.</p>
<h3 id="varelements">8.2: Elements</h3>
<h4>8.2.1: <code id="Assign">&lt;assign&gt;</code> and <code id="Var">&lt;var&gt;</code></h4>
<h5 id="s8.2.1.1">8.2.1.1: Overview</h5>
<p>Variables are declared using the <code>&lt;var&gt;</code> element and are initialized with the results of evaluating the
<em class="RFC2119">OPTIONAL</em> <code>expr</code> attribute as an ECMAScript expression. If the <code>expr</code> attribute
is not present in the <code>&lt;var&gt;</code> declaration, the variable is initialized to ECMAScript <code>undefined</code>.
The values of variables <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> be subsequently changed with <code>&lt;assign&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>Variables are declared explicitly by <code>&lt;var&gt;</code> :</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;var name="sessionid" /&gt;
&lt;var name="currentstate" expr="'initial'" /&gt;
</pre>
<p>Variables declared without an explicit initial value <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be initialized to the ECMAScript value
<code>undefined</code> by the implementation.</p>
<p>It is illegal to make an assignment to a variable that has not been explicitly declared using <code>&lt;var&gt;</code> or a
<code>var</code> statement within a <code>&lt;script&gt;</code>. Attempting to assign to an undeclared variable causes an
<code>error.semantic</code> event to be thrown. Please see <a href="#s9.5" shape="rect">Section 9.5</a> for a detailed
description of error events.</p>
<p>Note that when an ECMAScript object, e.g. "<code>obj</code>", has been properly initialized then its properties, for
instance "<code>obj.prop1</code>", can be assigned without explicit declaration. An attempt to declare ECMAScript object
properties such as "<code>obj.prop1</code>" results in an <code>error.semantic</code> event being thrown.</p>
<p>CCXML uses an ECMAScript scope chain (please see <a href="#ConceptsScriptingDefinitions" shape="rect">section 3.4</a> ) to
allow variables to be declared at different levels of hierarchy in an application. For instance, a variable declared at ccxml
(document) scope can be referenced anywhere within that document, whereas a local variable declared in a
<code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> is only available within that element.</p>
<p>The implementation <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> define four scopes - <code>session</code>, <code>application</code>,
<code>ccxml</code> and <code>transition</code>. The relationship between these scopes is shown below.</p>

dynamically valued ECMAScript result. This allows implementations to load ECMAScript content at CCXML document load time and
perform compiling and/or caching of the resulting ECMAScript code. We do however recognize that there are cases where a CCXML
application needs to load a dynamic ECMAScript resource, for this reason applications can use the the
<code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code> element to asynchronously load a resource and then execute it by referencing it's
<code>fetchid</code> in the the <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> element.</i></p>

<h3 id="session_variables">8.3: Session Variables</h3>
<p>Every CCXML session has a set of standard ECMAScript variables that are available to the program during execution called
session variables. The session variables are defined by the CCXML implementation when the CCXML session is created and are
read-only to the running script and cannot be modified by the CCXML program. New session variables cannot be declared by CCXML
programs.</p>
<p>Session variable values visible to a CCXML application reflect the state of the executing CCXML session, current as of the
occurrence of the event being processed. For example, when an application processes a Connection event such as
<code>connection.alerting</code>, the value of the state property of the corresponding Connection object will be updated by the
CCXML implementation so that if the CCXML program's event handler evaluates the state variable, it will evaluate to
<code>ALERTING</code>, since <code>connection.alerting</code> always results in a transition to the <code>ALERTING</code>
state. This is true even if the underlying connection is actually <code>DISCONNECTED</code>, in which case a
<code>connection.disconnected</code> event would be queued. It is the responsibility of the CCXML implementation to control and
update the session changes as they occur in the CCXML session. It is assumed that session changes are visible to the CCXML
program as they occur. However, it is permissible for a CCXML implementation to <i>optimize</i> session changes by
"lazy-binding" values as they are accessed or evaluated by a CCXML program, so as to minimize processing time. For example, an
implementation might only update the current Connection states when a CCXML program evaluates the variable during execution
time versus continually updating the Connection states inside ECMAScript scope as state changes. Regardless of when session
variables are updated to reflect changes, the CCXML implementation is <em class="RFC2119">REQUIRED</em> to provide the correct
values when accessed by a CCXML program.</p>
<p>Variables defined in the session scope are subject to the parent scope chain delegation model but do not have a parent scope
defined.</p>

<dt><code>session.parentid</code></dt>
<dd>String that indicates the session identifier of the parent of the CCXML session that created this session. In the case
the current session has no parent, the value of the variable will be ECMAScript undefined. Once a new CCXML session is
created, the new session and its parent are completely independent.</dd>
<dt><code>session.connections</code></dt>
<dd>
Associative Array which contains a list of the Connection objects that the session is currently using. The array is
associative and each key in the array is the connection identifier for the Connection. For example,
<code>session.connections["1234"]</code> would return the Connection object for connection ID 1234. The following example
demonstrates the use of the <code>session.connections</code> variable:
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;transition state="in_vxml_session" event="connection.disconnected"&gt;
&lt;if cond="session.connections['1234'].connectionid==event$.connid"&gt;
&lt;-- if the disconnect is on the first connection, do something --&gt;

</pre>
</dd>
<dt><code>session.conferences</code></dt>
<dd>An Associative array which contains a list of the Conference objects for which the session is attached using
<code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code> For example, <code>session.conferences["1234"]</code> would return the Conference
object for conference id 1234.</dd>
<dt><code>session.dialogs</code></dt>
<dd>Associative Array which contains a list of the Dialog objects that the session is currently using. The array is

<code>http://www.example.com/ccxml/basichttp</code>) for the "basichttp" type event I/O processor.</dd>
<dt><code>session.values</code></dt>
<dd>Associative array which contains a list of session parameters passed on session creation. For sessions created using

<h3 id="application_variables">8.4: Application Variables</h3>
<p>CCXML provides application variables which, like session variables, persists across the <a href="#def-ccxmlApplication"
shape="rect">CCXML application</a>. Application variables differ from session variables in that they can be modified by CCXML
programs.</p>
<p>The application object is initialized by the CCXML implementation. Application variables that are properties of the
application object are not explicitly declared.
By default, application variables have the value ECMAScript undefined. Variables in the application scope are subject to the
parent scope chain delegation model and have session as their parent scope. For example:</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">
&lt;assign name="application.userid" expr="'user001'"/&gt;
&lt;assign name="application.obj" expr="new Object()"/&gt;
&lt;assign name="application.obj.prop1" expr="'value of prop1'"/&gt;
&lt;assign name="application.obj.prop2" expr="'value of prop2'"/&gt;
</pre>
<p>Application variables are visible within documents which form the <a href="#def-ccxmlApplication" shape="rect">CCXML
application</a>. For example, a document in a CCXML application could assign an application variable a value using
<code>&lt;assign name="application.userid" expr="'user001'"/&gt;</code>, and a later document in the CCXML application could
reference <code>application.userid</code> to retrieve the value 'user001'.</p>
<p>Application developers should be careful in their use of application variables since they are visible to <b>all</b> CCXML
documents within a CCXML application.</p>
<h2 id="event-handling">9: Event Handling</h2>
<p>This section contains information on <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;send&gt;</code>,
<code>&lt;cancel&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;move&gt;</code>.</p>
<h3 id="event-concepts">9.1: Overview</h3>
<p>Event Handling is one of the most powerful features of CCXML. CCXML events can be delivered at any time and from a variety
of sources. This flexible event-handling mechanism is essential for many telephony applications.</p>
<p>Every CCXML session can send and receive events. These might be in response to a previous action by the CCXML session (e.g.,
an outbound-call request, which generates an event to indicate when the call goes off-hook), or on the initiative of some
external source (e.g., an incoming call to be answered). Events can be generated by the telephony system (as in the two
previous examples), other CCXML sessions (which emit events via <code>&lt;send&gt;</code>), Dialogs, or external sources. CCXML
sessions can also send events to themselves.</p>
<p>There is a core set of telephony-related events (derived from the JCC event model for connection objects; see the JAIN Call
Control API (JCC) <a href="#ref_JSR021" shape="rect">[JSR021]</a> for more information) that a browser <em class=
"RFC2119">MUST</em> support. Implementers <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> define and support any platform-specific events they
like. In addition, users/programmers may use <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> to send arbitrary events to internal or external
destinations, or may send arbitrary events to CCXML documents from internal or external sources and may specify transition
handlers to handle these events.</p>
<p>The transmission and reception of events both external and internal is controlled by a logical component in the platform
called the "Event I/O Processor". A platform <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> support more than one type of Event I/O Processor and
each of them may support a different format of external events (For example: SOAP, JMS, SIP, Simple HTTP or any other event
transmission approaches). For incoming events the Event I/O Processor is responsible for accepting the incoming event and
transforming it into an ECMAScript event object that can be accessed by CCXML. For outgoing events the Event I/O Processor is
responsible for deciding the serialization and transport formats. The operation and behavior of Event I/O Processors is
platform dependent; however, this specification defines a Basic HTTP Event I/O Processor (Appendix K) that defines event
transmission over HTTP. External Event I/O processors and new events created using <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> will typically
generate application-specific events with different names than those of the standard events in this specification; however, it
is legal for external sources and for events created using <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> to generate standard events. For instance,
it is useful to be able to generate a <code>ccxml.kill</code> event to attempt graceful termination of a session from an
external context, or from another CCXML session. Platforms <em class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> reject any standard events that do
not contain all of the mandatory properties defined in this specification, and <em class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> notify the
sender of the rejection (for instance with an <code>error.send</code> event).</p>
<p>Each running CCXML interpreter has a queue, into which it places incoming events. Events are generally queued on a first-in,
first-out (FIFO) basis; however, certain classes of events are queued differently, as described in the paragraphs below. A
CCXML programmer can only gain access to these queued events by using the <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code> element with
associated <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> elements.</p>
<p>An event can be delivered to a CCXML session using a <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> element in which case an optional delay may
be specified. If a delay is specified, the event is not delivered to the target CCXML session until the delay time has elapsed.
When the delay has elapsed, the event is queued as if it had just occurred, using standard queueing rules.</p>
<p>There are three types of events that, when delivered to a CCXML session, are handled differently. All
<code>ccxml.kill</code> and <code>ccxml.kill.*</code> events are placed at the head of the event queue rather than the tail so
that they are processed in preference to all other events. All <code>error.*</code> events are placed at the head of the queue
but behind any <code>error.*</code>, <code>ccxml.kill</code>, or <code>ccxml.kill.*</code> events that are already on the
queue. <code>ccxml.loaded</code> events are always placed at the head of the queue.</p>
<p>An <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code> is interpreted by an implicit Event Handler Interpretation Algorithm (EHIA). The
EHIA's main loop removes the first event from the CCXML session's event queue, and then selects from the set of
<code>&lt;transition&gt;</code>s contained in the <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code>. A <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> always
indicates a set of patterns to match event names, <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> indicate a required current value of the
ECMAScript state variable specified in the <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code>, and <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> indicate a
further ECMAScript conditional expression to be evaluated. The <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> that accepts the type for the
just-removed event, is in the specified state, has a satisfied conditional expression, and appears first in the
<code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code> in document order, is the selected <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>Once selected, an object representing the event being processed is created at transition scope, and the elements inside the
<code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> are executed in document order. If an ECMAScript evaluation error occurs during the execution
of an element within a <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code>, <code>error.semantic</code> <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be raised for
that element, and successive elements within that <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> <em class="RFC2119">MUST NOT</em> be
executed; Note that while an element that references an invalid connection, dialog, or conference identifier also causes the
platform to raise <code>error.semantic</code>, these scenarios <em class="RFC2119">MUST NOT</em> terminate execution of the
<code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> in which that element is contained.</p>
<p>At most one <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> will be chosen. If no <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> meets all the criteria,
none are selected and the event is simply dropped; the EHIA loop then starts over again, removing the event at the head of the
queue. The only exception to this rule is when <code>ccxml.kill</code>, <code>ccxml.kill.*</code> and <code>error.*</code>
events are received; in this case, the CCXML interpreter will end the session if there are no <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code>s
that match the <code>ccxml.kill</code>, <code>ccxml.kill.*</code> and <code>error.*</code> events explicitly.</p>
<p>Any events that arrive while an event is already being processed are just placed on the queue for later. If the event queue
is empty, and the EHIA wants to process an event, execution pauses until an event arrives.</p>
<p>During the processing of an event by the EHIA, the state of any ECMAScript objects exposed by a platform, such as the
Connection object, <em class="RFC2119">must</em> reflect the state of the CCXML session immediately following the occurrence of
the event. For instance, if a '<code>connection.alerting</code>' event is being processed against a connection with ID 1234,
then <code>session.connections['1234'].state</code> would have a value of <code>Connection.ALERTING</code>. This is true even
if the actual connection has already been terminated, with a '<code>connection.disconnected</code>' event queued (but not yet
processed) against the session. It is <em class="RFC2119">required</em> that the ECMAScript context for the session is updated
prior to the selection of a matching <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code>, since the <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> might contain
an ECMAScript conditional expression, the value of which depends on the state changes caused by the event.</p>
<p>Elements inside an <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> <em class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> run "quickly", without blocking
execution. This will allow events to be rapidly processed. CCXML applications should be aware of this and should keep
calculations such as large ECMAScript functions within a transition to a minimum.</p>
<p>The only way for CCXML execution to leave an <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code> is via an explicit
<code>&lt;goto&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;exit&gt;</code> inside a <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> or an unhandled error or
<code>ccxml.kill</code> event .</p>
<p>An <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code> <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> also declare a state variable attribute. An
<code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code>'s state variable must be declared in the ccxml scope using a <code>&lt;var&gt;</code> or a
<code>&lt;script&gt;</code>. The <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code> can be considered, and programmed as, a
finite-state-automaton, with the state variable indicating the automaton's current state or node, and the
<code>&lt;transition&gt;</code>s, driven by incoming events, moving the machine to a new state and creating side effects along
the way. If a state variable is not defined in the <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code>'s <code>statevariable</code> attribute a
default variable named "<code>state$</code>" defined at the ccxml scope will be used instead. The initial value will be
ECMAScript '<code>undefined</code>'.</p>

<p>The event target of <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> is specified using the <code>target</code> and <code>targettype</code>
attributes. These attributes control how the platform should dispatch the event to its final destination.</p>
<p>The <code>target</code> attribute specifies the unique identifier of the event target that the Event I/O Processor should
send the event to. This can be the value of a CCXML Session ID or a Dialog ID if you wish to send an event to one of these
respective targets. In the case where you are using some other Event I/O Processor this attribute should be able to describe
how to connect to the event destination (for example a SIP URI for SIP-INFO messages or a HTTP URI for Web Services). If the

HTTP GET. However, platforms <em class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> name the Event I/O Processor beginning with "<code>x-</code>" to
signify that they are platform dependent.</p>
<p><code>&lt;send&gt;</code> also specifies the content of the message to be sent. <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> <em class=
"RFC2119">MUST</em> specify message content in one of two ways (the following mechanisms are mutually exclusive):</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>name</code> attribute with an <em class="RFC2119">OPTIONAL</em> <code>namelist</code>
<ul>
<li>The <code>name</code> attribute specifies an ECMAScript expression that returns the name of the event.</li>
<li>The <code>namelist</code> attribute specifies a space separated list of CCXML ECMAScript variables to be included
with the message.</li>
</ul>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;var name="target" expr="'tel:+18005551212'"/&gt;
&lt;var name="content" expr="'http://www.example.com/mycontent.txt'"/&gt;
&lt;send target="target"
targettype="'x-messaging'"
name="'fax.SEND'"
namelist="content"/&gt;
</pre>
</li>
<li>Inline XML content that specifies the contents of the message being sent.
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">

&lt;/csta:MakeCall&gt;
&lt;/send&gt;
</pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>When inline XML is specified, the content of the <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> is parsed but <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be
ignored by the sending CCXML Interpreter until the <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> is executed. XML namespace binding within the
<code>&lt;send&gt;</code> element <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be preserved in the message sent to the
<code>&lt;send&gt;</code> target. This may result in XML namespace declarations being added to the message contents in order to
resolve XML namespace prefixes whose associated namespace declarations were not contained in the message contents in the
original CCXML document. It is the responsibility of the Event I/O Processor responsible for forwarding events to the
<code>&lt;send&gt;</code> target to parse the incoming message and remove the namespace bindings, if required by the
<code>&lt;send&gt;</code> target.</p>
<p>The sending CCXML Interpreter <em class="RFC2119">MUST NOT</em> alter the content of the <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> other
than by adding namespace declarations for unresolved namespace bindings. The data contained within a <code>&lt;send&gt;</code>
<em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be sent to the destination specified in the <code>target</code> attribute of
<code>&lt;send&gt;</code> using the Event I/O Processor specified by the <code>targettype</code> attribute.</p>
<p>The mechanism by which the content of the message is made available to the target depends on both the
<code>targettype</code> and the way in which the content is specified:</p>
<ul>
<li>When <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> is used with the <code>name</code> and <code>namelist</code> attributes, and the
<code>targettype</code> is "<code>ccxml</code>", the mapping from <code>namelist</code> variables to event object properties
is well defined. Each variable listed in the <code>namelist</code> attribute is added as a property of the event object.
Qualified variables retain their qualification and are mapped into nested properties of the event object. If a variable is an
ECMAScript Object, then all properties of the variable are mapped into nested properties of the event object.</li>
<li>When <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> is used with inline XML content, and the <code>targettype</code> is "<code>ccxml</code>",
the mapping of that XML content to event object properties is implementation-specific, and outside the scope of this
specification.</li>
<li>When <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> is used with the <code>name</code> and <code>namelist</code> attributes, and the
<code>targettype</code> is "<code>basichttp</code>", each variable in the <code>namelist</code> is sent to the web server as
defined in Appendix K</li>
<li>When <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> is used with either <code>name</code> and <code>namelist</code> attributes or inline XML
content, and the <code>targettype</code> is "<code>dialog</code>" or a platform extension, the mechanism by which
<code>namelist</code> variables or XML content are made available to the event target is implementation-specific, and outside
the scope of this specification.</li>
</ul>
<p>Although the full set of requirements for the Event I/O Processor is not within the scope of this specification, an event
processor sending an event to a CCXML Interpreter is required to generate an event which can be processed in a CCXML Session.
See Section 9.1 for details regarding the processing of incoming events by an CCXML Interpreter.</p>
<p>When a message is successfully sent to the target, a <code>send.successful</code> event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be
thrown. Note that this does not mean that the target processed the message successfully. It is up to the target to generate
events specific to the message. These events are application specific.</p>
<p>If the send request fails, an event signifying the error <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be returned to the CCXML Session. The
failure events are documented at the end of this section.</p>
<p>Events generated by <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> will have their <code>eventid</code>, <code>eventsource</code> and
<code>eventsourcetype</code> attributes derived from the execution of the <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> element.

<h4 id="Move">9.2.4: <code>&lt;move&gt;</code></h4>
<h5 id="s9.2.4.1">9.2.4.1: Overview</h5>
<p><code>&lt;move&gt;</code> is used to move an event source (such as a Connection object) to an executing CCXML session. When
an event source is moved to a session, events originating from that source <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be delivered to that
session's currently executing CCXML document. The <code>event</code> OR the <code>source</code> attribute <em class=
"RFC2119">MUST</em> be specified. If neither attribute is specified or both attributes are specified, an
<code>error.fetch</code> event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be thrown.</p>
<p>Support for the <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> element is optional in CCXML platforms. Even if <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> is
supported platforms <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> only support it between a restricted set of CCXML sessions. If
<code>&lt;move&gt;</code> is unsupported the CCXML platform <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> raise an <code>error.move</code>
event.</p>
<p>A <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> attempt <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> fail under any of the following conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>The referenced event source does not exist, or does not belong to the session executing the
<code>&lt;move&gt;</code>;</li>
<li>The referenced event source is immovable - the CCXML session itself and various external event I/O processors are
examples of this;</li>
<li>The referenced event source is currently bridged to another object through an implicit or explicit join;</li>
<li>The session to which the event source is being moved does not exist, or cannot accept the event source that is being
moved;</li>
<li>The <code>event</code> attribute is used to identify the event source, but refers to multiple event sources (such as
<code>connection.merge.failed</code>);</li>
</ul>
<p>A <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> attempt <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> fail for causes other than the above, which may or may not
be platform specific</p>
<p>In the event of a <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> failure, an <code>error.move</code> event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be
generated to indicate that the <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> attempt was unsuccessful. Otherwise, a <code>move.successful</code>
event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be generated against the session that performed the <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> to indicate
that the request has completed successfully.</p>
<p>Since each CCXML session has an event queue, it is possible that a session executing a <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> will
already have events in its queue from the event source that is being moved. As an example, this situation could easily occur
with <code>connection.alerting</code> and <code>connection.disconnected</code> if the incoming connection is abandoned before a
CCXML platform initiates processing. Any such events <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be removed from the queue of the session
performing the <code>&lt;move&gt;</code>, and placed into the queue of the session that the event source is being moved to.
Each event moved in this manner <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be inserted into the queue of the target session as if it was a
new event occurring in the context of that session. The order in which events are queued is the order in which they appear in
the event queue of the session performing the <code>&lt;move&gt;</code>. If the <code>event</code> attribute is specified, then
the referenced event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be placed into the queue of the target session before other queued events
from the event source are inserted. Note that queueing rules governing the order in which the inserted events will be processed
continue to apply.</p>
<p>Like all CCXML elements, <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> executes asynchronously. As such, there is a period of time during which
events generated by the event source being moved cannot be processed either by the session performing the
<code>&lt;move&gt;</code>, or by the target session. If the <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> fails, then these events remain in the
queue of the session that attempted the <code>&lt;move&gt;</code>, and <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be processed normally.
However, while the <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> is being performed, events from event sources other than the one being moved
<em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> continue to be processed according to the EHIA. As such, a failed <code>&lt;move&gt;</code>
request may result in events being processed in a different order than if no <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> operation was performed.
Note that the relative ordering of events from the event source being moved is not changed even as a result of such a
failure.</p>

<h4 id="Cancel">9.2.5: <code>&lt;cancel&gt;</code></h4>
<h5 id="s9.2.5.1">9.2.5.1: Overview</h5>
<p>When a CCXML program uses <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> to send an event and includes a <code>delay</code> attribute, the
<code>&lt;cancel&gt;</code> command will cancel the pending event, if possible.</p>
<p>The cancel operation cancels a pending event by removing it from the delayed event queue of the CCXML session that initiated
the <code>&lt;send&gt;</code>, preventing it from ever being delivered. If the delay has expired and the event has already been
removed from the delayed event queue, the <code>&lt;cancel&gt;</code> request <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> fail and an
<code>error.notallowed</code> event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be delivered to the event queue of the CCXML session that
executed the <code>&lt;cancel&gt;</code>
<span > with the <code>id</code> property populated with the <code>sendid</code> of the event that the <code>&lt;cancel&gt;</code> was requested for.</span>
Otherwise, a <code>cancel.successful</code> event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be
delivered to indicate that the <code>&lt;cancel&gt;</code> was successful, and that the cancelled event was not delivered.
Sessions are only permitted to cancel their own delayed events; they may not cancel the delayed events of other sessions.</p>

that are generated as a matter of course, and which any telephone application should handle. There are three kinds of these
events: connection events, language events and error events.</p>
<p>The first, and larger set, is present so a CCXML session can keep abreast of events happening with the telephone network.
CCXML is designed to be neutral with respect to the telephony layer, so the event set must be very generic and capable of
describing the behavior of a wide variety of systems (e.g., <a href="#ref_Q931" shape="rect">[Q931]</a>, <a href="#ref_SS7"
shape="rect">[SS7]</a>, VoIP, etc).</p>
<h4 id="s9.4.2">9.4.2: Standard Event Attributes</h4>
<h5 id="s9.4.2.1">9.4.2.1: Overview</h5>
<p>All events received in a CCXML session must have a number of standard fields. It is the responsibility of the Event I/O
Processor that delivered the event to make sure that they are present.</p>

<h4 id="s9.4.3">9.4.3: Connection Events</h4>
<h5 id="s9.4.3.1">9.4.3.1: Overview</h5>
<p>CCXML applications are notified of Connection activities by events, which often reflect Connection state changes.
Applications may also take actions which change the state of a Connection and which cause other events to be generated.</p>
<p>Connection events and their properties are specified in sections <a href="#s10.6" shape="rect">10.6: Events</a>, and
<a href="#s10.2.3" shape="rect">10.2.3: Connection Events</a></p>
<h4 id="s9.4.4">9.4.4: Language Events</h4>
<p>Language Events are a general class of responses that occur as a result of the execution of elements within a CCXML

</ul>
<h4 id="s9.4.5">9.4.5: Error Events</h4>
<h5 id="s9.4.5.1">9.4.5.1: Overview</h5>
<p>CCXML uses its event handling mechanism to notify a CCXML document of errors that occur during execution. An error
notification takes the form of an error event that is added to the event queue of the CCXML document where the error occurred.
All error events are named with the prefix <code>"error."</code> so that a properly defined <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> can
filter out error events.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> that can be used to filter out and report error events:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;transition event="error.*"&gt;
&lt;log expr="'an error has occurred (' + event$.reason+ ')'" /&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
</pre>
<p>All error events have a set of properties in common, shown in the following table:</p>

<h3 id="s9.5">9.5: Error Handling</h3>
<p>Due to the nature of CCXML's event handling mechanism, some error scenarios are treated differently. These scenarios are
described below.</p>
<h5 id="s9.5.1">9.5.1: Fetching &amp; compilation errors</h5>
<p>Errors that occur in trying to load and compile a CCXML document, such as the inability to fetch the CCXML page or
statically referenced ECMAScript content, XML parsing or validation errors (Including checks for mutually exclusive attributes
or any other constraints as defined in the this specification, it's attribute tables, schema or DTD), compilation errors or
other errors that occur as a result of trying to fetch and run a CCXML page prior to document initialization. The handling of
fetching errors is dependent on the context of the fetch; if the fetch was triggered by a running CCXML document using
<code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;fetch&gt;</code>, then an <code>error.createccxml</code> or
<code>error.fetch</code> (respectively) <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be thrown to the initiating session. If an error occurs
fetching the initial CCXML document for a session created to handle an incoming call, the CCXML session created for the
incoming call <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be terminated; the incoming call <em class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> be rejected. If
the session is created through other means (such as the Session Creation Event I/O Processor), the session <em class=
"RFC2119">MUST</em> be terminated; the creator of the session <em class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> be notified.</p>
<h5 id="s9.5.2">9.5.2: Document Initialization Errors</h5>
<p>Errors that occur during documentation initialization (elements that occur in the CCXML document before
<code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code>) occur outside of CCXML's event handling mechanism. These errors <em class=
"RFC2119">MUST</em> cause the CCXML thread of execution to terminate and notify the platform of the document error.</p>
<h5 id="s9.5.3">9.5.3: Error In <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code> attributes</h5>
<p>An <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code> contains <code>&lt;transition&gt;s</code> that comprise CCXML's event handling
mechanism. Since errors in <code>&lt;eventprocessor&gt;</code> attribute evaluation could keep the EHIA from correctly
processing an event, these errors <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> cause the CCXML thread of execution to terminate and notify the
platform of the document error.</p>
<h5 id="s9.5.4">9.5.4: Error in <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> attributes</h5>
<p><code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> attributes specify when the elements contained by the <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> should
be executed. Since errors in <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> attribute evaluation could keep the
<code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> from correctly handling the error event, these errors <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> cause the
CCXML thread of execution to terminate and notify the platform of the document error.</p>
<h5 id="s9.5.5">9.5.5: Errors While Handling Error Events</h5>
<p>If an error occurs during the handling of an error event another error event will be raised and posted to the front of the
event queue. In many cases this may be perfectly acceptable and the CCXML application may be able to successfully recover from
the error. In some situations however this can lead to an infinite loop in the CCXML session. Implementations <em class=
"RFC2119">MAY</em> choose to include some form of loop detection and to terminate the CCXML session when a loop is
detected.</p>
<h5 id="s9.5.6">9.5.6: Errors in hints attributes</h5>
<p>Several elements within this specification define a <code>hints</code> attribute. Platforms that do not support
<code>hints</code> on an element <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> ignore this attribute. If a platform supports the
<code>hints</code> attribute on an element, the attribute is specified, and ECMAScript evaluation of the value of the hint
fails or the ECMAScript expression does not resolve to an ECMAScript object, <code>error.semantic</code> <em class=
"RFC2119">MUST</em> be raised for that element and successive elements within the <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> containing
that element <em class="RFC2119">MUST NOT</em> be executed. Additional processing of hints by the implementing platform is
platform-specific.</p>

<h3 id="overview">10.1: Overview</h3>
<p>The primary goal of CCXML is to provide call control throughout the duration of a call. Call control includes handling
incoming calls, placing outgoing calls, bridging (or conferencing) multiple call legs, and ultimately disconnecting calls.</p>
<p>In CCXML call control occurs through three major concepts: Connections, Conferences and Bridges.</p>
<p>A Connection is an object modeling a resource by which two independent unidirectional media streams, and optionally any
associated network signaling traffic, can be controlled by a CCXML session. This corresponds roughly to a "call leg" as the
term is used informally. The picture below illustrates the media streams associated with the Connection <i>c1</i>.</p>
<p><img alt="Connection" src="images/connection.png" /></p>
<p>A Bridge occurs when the input and/or output media streams of Connections or Conferences are linked or "joined" together.
The picture below depicts the result of a full duplex <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> between the connections <i>c1</i> and
<i>c2</i>.</p>
<p><img alt="bridge" src="images/bridge.png" /></p>
<p>A Conference is an object that controls the mixing of media streams for two or more Connections through Bridges.In the
picture below, the connections <i>c1</i> and <i>c2</i> are joined in a full duplex mode to the conference <i>C1</i>.</p>
<p><img alt="conference" src="images/conference.png" /></p>
<p>These concepts are discussed in greater detail in the sections below.</p>
<h4 id="s10.1.1">10.1.1 Concepts Background (INFORMATIVE)</h4>
<p>The goals of the CCXML call model are to focus on relatively simple types of call control and to be sufficiently abstract so
that the call model can be implemented using all major telephony definitions such as JAIN Call Control(JCC) <a href=
"#ref_JSR021" shape="rect">[JSR021]</a>, <a href="#ref_CSTA" shape="rect">[CSTA]</a>, and <a href="#ref_S.100" shape=
"rect">[S.100]</a>. The JCC call model meets these requirements by providing an event model for connections which abstracts
away many of the differences between telephone networks (e.g., <a href="#ref_Q931" shape="rect">[Q931]</a>, <a href="#ref_SS7"
shape="rect">[SS7]</a>, VoIP, etc). Additionally, this call model is small and easily-understood so that concrete example
programs can be written.</p>
<p>JCC was designed to be a cross-platform high-level event set to describe as generic a phone model as possible. The JCC call
model consists of Addresses, Calls, Connections, and Providers. In the context of CCXML, it was felt that the Address, Call,
and Provider objects would add more complexity than value, so these were omitted as explicitly visible objects. Instead the
behavior of Connections became the focus.</p>
<p>The CCXML call model therefore is based on the behavior of Connections. A call is received or initiated under control of a
CCXML session through the properties of a Connection.</p>
<p>Note that the JCC model is designed for endpoint devices only.</p>
<h3 id="Connection">10.2 Connections</h3>
<p>The CCXML call model is based on the behavior of Connections.</p>
<p>Each Connection has one input by which it receives a media stream from another Connection or Conference.</p>
<p>Each Connection has one output media stream that can be directed to the inputs of multiple Connections and/or
Conferences.</p>
<p>If a network call is active on a Connection (in the <code>CONNECTED</code>, <code>PROGRESSING</code> or
<code>ALERTING</code> state), the media stream received from the network is the Connection output, and the Connection input
media stream is transmitted to the network.</p>
<p>Dialogs are also modeled internally as a Connection for the purposes of media interaction. The Dialog object behaves as if
it was a Connection object and can be joined to other resources in the same way as any other Connection. A Dialog will not
however be listed in the session.connections session variable.</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;dialogstart connectionid="c1" src="'example.vxml'" duplex="'full'"&gt;
</pre>
<p><img alt="dialogstart" src="images/dialogstart.png" /></p>
<p>For a Connection created by <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> , the Connection input and output media streams are available
to the Dialog resource.</p>
<h4 id="s10.2.1">10.2.1: Connection State</h4>
<p>The state of a Connection Object reflects events that are generated, either a result of actions that occur within the
telephony network, or as a result of actions performed by the CCXML application. The following state diagram shows the major
aspects of Connection behavior, but omits some detail in favor of clarity (e.g. the <code>ERROR</code> state).</p>
<!-- <img src="images/CallState-20070912.png" alt="Connection state diagram" width="759" height="578" /> -->
<!-- <img src="images/CallState-20080221.png" alt="Connection state diagram" width="759" height="578" /> -->
<img src="images/CallState-20081113.png" alt="Connection state diagram" width="759" height="578" />
<p>The list of valid states that a connection can be in is:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ALERTING</code></li>
<li><code>PROGRESSING</code></li>
<li><code>CONNECTED</code></li>
<li><code>FAILED</code></li>
<li><code>DISCONNECTED</code></li>
<li><code>ERROR</code></li>
<li><code>CREATED</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Connection Objects are created when a incoming call arrives to the platform via a <code>connection.alerting</code> event or
via the execution of <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>Connection Objects are automatically destroyed by the platform after they have reached the <code>DISCONNECTED</code>,
<code>FAILED</code> or <code>ERROR</code> states. Platforms are responsible for deciding when to remove unused Connection
Objects, however platforms MUST maintain a Connection Object at least through the <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> for the
corresponding <code>connection.disconnected</code>, <code>connection.failed</code>, <code>connection.redirected</code>,
<code>connection.merged</code> or <code>error.connection</code> event</p>
<p>The <code>PROGRESSING</code> and <code>ALERTING</code> states have reflexive transitions. This is intended to model
protocols which have additional states at these points, and which may exchange messages such as <code>PROCEEDING</code>,
<code>ALERTING</code>, <code>FACILITY</code>, or <code>NOTIFY</code>. Platforms <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> choose to
implement additional states which may be reflected in the <code>substate</code> property of the Connection object.</p>
<h4 id="connection.properties">10.2.2: Connection Object</h4>
<p>An instance of the Connection Object is associated with each telephony event source. Each instance is uniquely identified by
its connection identifier. All Connection instances have a set of properties in common, shown in the following table.
Properties that are not indicated as required only appear on an instance of the Connection object if they have a value. Other
properties will always be present.</p>
<p>The Connection Object is an extension of the <a href="#MediaEndpoint" shape="rect">Media Endpoint</a> Object as defined in

"RFC2119">MUST</em> begin with an underscore, "_", to identify them as platform-dependent.</p>
<h4 id="s10.2.4">10.2.4: Connection Operations</h4>
<p>CCXML defines a number of elements, specified in detail in section 10.5, that are used to interact with Connection Objects.
Execution of these elements <em class="RFC2119">MUST NOT</em> immediately change the state of the Connection Object; Connection
Objects change their state once the event corresponding to the event transition is handed. Elements, such as
<code>&lt;accept&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;disconnect&gt;</code>, do not actually change the state of the connection but instead
issue requests to the platform to process the corresponding command that will in turn raise the events that chance the
connection state. The sole exception to this is <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code>, which creates a Connection Object immediately,
with its '<code>state</code>' property set to <code>CREATED</code>, allowing the Connection Object to be accessed following the
<code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code>, within the same transition. However, existence of the Connection Object does not guarantee
anything about the success of the <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> request.</p>
<p>When elements are used to request an action against a Connection Object, a corresponding event is always generated to
indicate the result of executing that request. For instance, when the <code>&lt;accept&gt;</code> element is used to answer an
incoming call, a '<code>connection.connected</code>' event indicates that the call was accepted successfully, whereas a
'<code>connection.failed</code>' indicates that the call could not be accepted. The events that can be generated by elements
that act on connections, and the circumstances under which those events occur, are summarized in the table below. Note that the
<code>&lt;join&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code> elements are not included, since these apply to both Connections and
Conferences, and are discussed in detail in Section 10.4 on Bridges.</p>
<p>There are two common events that can be generated by any of the connection-affecting elements:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the element cannot be evaluated, for example if the referenced <code>connectionid</code> contained an invalid
ECMAScript expression, then an '<code>error.semantic</code>' event is thrown - as is the case for all CCXML elements. The
<code>error.semantic</code> event <em class="RFC2119">MUST NOT</em> change the state of the associated Connection
Object(s).</li>
<li>If the element cannot be executed because the current state of the referenced Connection Object (or Objects, in the case
of <code>&lt;merge&gt;</code>) is not valid for the requested action, then an '<code>error.connection.wrongstate</code>'
event is thrown. Note that an <code>error.connection.wrongstate</code> event is thrown based on the state of the Connection
Object, which in turn reflects the events that have been processed by the CCXML application; it is not based on the actual
real-time state of the underlying connection, which could change at any time.</li>
</ul>
<p>It is important to note that because CCXML is fully asynchronous, and because events can occur on the underlying
communications network at any time, that connection-related events can occur that are not related to application actions. The
most common of these is <code>connection.disconnected</code>, which can be triggered by a user-initiated hangup, and which can
occur in any state during which the call is active.</p>
<p>Finally, once an event is emitted by a Connection Object that transitions to a final state (such as
<code>DISCONNECTED</code>), further events <em class="RFC2119">MUST NOT</em> be generated by that Connection Object. Thus, even
if an application has performed an <code>&lt;accept&gt;</code> and expects to receive one of <code>connection.connected</code>,
'<code>connection.accept.failed</code>', or <code>'connection.failed'</code>, it could receive a
<code>'connection.disconnected'</code> instead. Since this event is associated with a transition to the
<code>DISCONNECTED</code> state, no further events will be generated; thus the application will not receive any event as a
result of having performed an <code>&lt;accept&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>The following table shows the events that reflect the outcome of the connection-oriented elements defined by CCXML, for this
reason the table omits the event generated by the underling network (i.e. <code>connection.alerting</code> and
<code>connection.signal</code>):</p>

<h3 id="conferencing-elements">10.3: Conferences</h3>
<p>CCXML applications can use <code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code> to create a new conference, or to attach to an existing
conference. The CCXML application can connect or disconnect existing connections/conferences/dialogs to the new conference
using <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code> (as described in <a href="#bridging" shape="rect">Section
10.4</a>). When a session no longer requires the use of a conference, it uses <code>&lt;destroyconference&gt;</code> to detach
from the conference. Asynchronous events will be sent to the CCXML document upon completion of each of these operations.</p>
<p>Each Conference Object has one logical output and multiple inputs. The actual output streams of a Conference Object are
derived by mixing all its input streams, less any contributed audio of an individual Connection, Conference Object who receives
that output. The output of a Conference Object can be directed to the inputs of multiple Connections and/or Conference Object
(as a result of bridging).</p>
<p>Some telephony call control definitions do not define a separate Conference Object, instead defining a conference simply as
a call with more than two parties. In order to accommodate the widest range of underlying telephony API's, CCXML requires
explicit use of a Conference Object whenever two or more audio streams are mixed.</p>
<p>Unlike connections and dialogs, which are local to a single session (but can be moved between sessions using
<code>&lt;move&gt;</code>), conferences are global across all sessions, and can be bridged with the
connections/conferences/dialogs of any session. Conferences can be named in order to facilitate the use of that conference in
other sessions. Assigning a name using the <code>confname</code> attribute allows other sessions to access the created
conference by performing a <code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code> with the same value for <code>confname</code>. Conferences
continue to exist so long as at least one session exists that has attached to the conference using
<code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code> without a corresponding <code>&lt;destroyconference&gt;</code>. When a session
terminates, it implicitly detaches from any conferences to which it is still attached. Note that it is not necessary for a
session to share a conference by assigning it a name in order for other sessions to make use of that conference. Other sessions
may still establish bridges to a conference using <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code>, regardless of
whether or not they have accessed the conference using <code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code>; only the conference ID is
required for this. Because conferences are global, it is not legal to perform a <code>&lt;move&gt;</code> against a
conference.</p>
<p>NOTE: A simple two-party call does not require the use of a conference object. This is discussed in <a href="#bridging"
shape="rect">Section 10.4</a>.</p>

<h3 id="s10.3.2">10.3.2: Conference class</h3>
<p>All conference objects <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be initiated via the Conference class. The Conference class currently
has no defined properties.</p>
<h3 id="bridging">10.4: Bridges</h3>
<p>A "bridge" is a relationship between the input and/or output streams of Connection, Dialog, and Conference Objects. The
bridge concept and the details of its behavior are fundamental to CCXML Dialogs and Connections are equivalent with respect to
establishing and terminating bridges; the term "Media Endpoint" is used as a common term to refer both to Connections and
Dialogs from the perspective of bridging operations.</p>
<p>There are two main ways in which CCXML applications can manipulate bridges:</p>
<ul>
<li>Implicitly, using the <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> (with '<code>joinid</code>') and
<code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;/&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> (with '<code>connectionid</code>'/'<code>conferenceid</code>')
elements;</li>
<li>Explicitly, via the <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code> elements.</li>
</ul>
<p>Even in the simplest case of a network party interacting with a dialog, two Media Endpoints are <em class=
"RFC2119">REQUIRED</em>, and a bridge is established between them implicitly by the action of <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code>.
More complex situations, such as two-party calls, two-party calls with "hotword" recognition, conference control, and
"coaching" scenarios, all involve the use of multiple Media Endpoint and explicit control of one or more bridges between them
by using <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>The nature of bridges, and the behavior of <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code>, is concerned with the
mapping between the media stream inputs and outputs of Media Endpoints and Conferences:</p>
<ul>
<li>Each Media Endpoint has one input, and 0 or more outputs. If a network call is active on a Media Endpoint, the media
stream received from the network is the Media Endpoint input, and the Media Endpoint output media stream is transmitted to
the network. For a Media Endpoint created by <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code>, the Media Endpoint input media stream is
available to a recognizer under control of the CCXML session, and the Media Endpoint output media stream can be sourced from
a resource (such as a Text To Speech engine) under control of the CCXML session.</li>
<li>The output of a Media Endpoint or Conference can be directed to the inputs of one or more Media Endpoints and/or
Conferences. This is sometimes called "splitting" media streams. Not all environments/implementations will necessarily
support "splitting" a media stream in this manner. In such environments, a request to establish a bridge that requires the
presence of splitting may fail.</li>
<li>A Media Endpoint input can come from the output of only one Media Endpoint or Conference.</li>
<li>A Conference input can have multiple inputs from the outputs of Media Endpoints or Conferences.</li>
<li>If a new bridge requires a Media Endpoint to "listen", and the Media Endpoint is already listening to a different source,
this existing stream relationship is torn down automatically.</li>
</ul>
<p>Bridges can be either one-way, in which the media stream flows only from party A to party B (such that B can hear A, but A
cannot hear B), or two-way, in which the media stream flows in both directions between the parties involved.
<code>&lt;join&gt;</code> has a <code>duplex</code> attribute to distinguish between two-way bridges and one-way bridges. For
example, <code>&lt;join&gt;</code>ing Media Endpoint A to Media Endpoint B with <code>duplex=full</code> will direct the A
output to the B input, and the B output to the A input, creating a simple two-party call. If instead the same
<code>&lt;join&gt;</code> is done with <code>duplex=half</code>, it will direct the B output to the A input, and will not have
any effect on the B input. Similarly, <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code>/<code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> have the
'<code>mediadirection</code>' attribute and <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> has the '<code>joindirection</code>' attribute for
controlling what kind of bridge is established.</p>
<p>For "hotword" recognition on a two-party call, a two-way (full duplex) bridge must be established between two network
Connections, and a one-way (half duplex) bridge must be established from one of the network Connections to a Dialog used to
perform the recognition. There are several ways this arrangement can be achieved, depending on the initial states of the
Connections and Dialogs. For example, if the network party on Connection A is initially interacting with Dialog D (i.e., a full
duplex bridge exists between them), all that is needed then is to do a <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> of Connection A to Connection
B (the other network party) with <code>duplex=full</code>. This example highlights an important and subtle aspect of the
behavior of <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> when one, or both, of the Connections being joined is already in one or more established
bridges.</p>
<p>Note that <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> <em class="RFC2119">MUST NOT</em> be used to add a Media Endpoint to an existing
two-party bridge in order to create a 3-way Conference Instead, this functionality can be achieved by first using
<code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code> to create a Conference object and then <code>&lt;join&gt;</code>ing all three Media
Endpoints to this Conference. If a two-way bridge exists between A and B, and A is then <code>&lt;join&gt;</code>ed full duplex
to C, the result will be a two-party bridge between A and C and a one-way bridge from A to B.</p>
<p>CCXML applications <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> only establish bridges on Media Endpoints that are owned by the session
running that application. As such, a session cannot bridge a Media Endpoint that it owns to a Media Endpoint that is owned by
another session, nor can it establish a bridge between two Media Endpoints owned by another session. Since Conferences are
global, however, a session <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> bridge a Media Endpoint that it owns to any Conference</p>
<p>Asynchronous events are used to notify the CCXML application upon the completion of bridging operations performed by that
application. Such events are also used to notify the application of changes to existing bridges that were not requested by the
application - such as a <code>&lt;destroyconference&gt;</code> terminating a conference that a local connection has a bridge
to. However, the execution of bridging operations and completion notification varies depending on how the bridging operation
was performed:</p>
<ul>
<li>Implicit bridges created using <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;/&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> (by specifing
'<code>connectionid</code>' or '<code>conferenceid</code>') are established when the dialog is started. No bridging events
are generated; the '<code>dialog.started</code>' event indicates that the dialog was started and the bridge is in place. If
the specified bridge cannot be established, then the dialog <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> not be started, and an
<code>error.dialog.notstarted</code> event is generated. Note that a session could still receive a
<code>conference.joined</code> event when a dialog is implicitly joined to a conference; this event is generated by the
conference.</li>
<li>Implicit bridges created using <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> (with '<code>joinid</code>') are physically realized as
soon as a platform is capable of doing so; however, the inability to establish the bridge immediately upon execution of a
<code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> does not constitute an error. Prior to the point in time at which the call enters the
<code>CONNECTED</code> state, it may not be possible to establish the requested bridge, or it may only be possible to
establish the bridge one direction. As a result, when using <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> with '<code>joinid</code>', an
event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be generated when the requested bridge operation is completed. This event is independent
of connection-related events such as '<code>connection.connected</code>', and may occur before or after such events depending
on when the bridge is actually realized. If the bridge is established successfully, the '<code>conference.joined</code>'
event is generated. If the requested bridge cannot be established even after the connection reaches the
<code>CONNECTED</code> state, or if some other issue prevents the bridge from being established, an
'<code>error.conference.join</code>' event will be generated. Referencing a dialog that has been prepared but not started in
'<code>joinid</code>' always result in an error, and thus an '<code>error.conference.join</code>' event. Note that the call
itself <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> proceed independently of whether or not the bridge can be established. For instance, it
is possible to receive both an '<code>error.conference.join</code>' event and a '<code>connection.connected</code>' event for
a single call initiated using <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code>.</li>
<li>Explicit bridges creation requests using <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> are performed immediately independently, of the state
of the underlying resource. Requests to terminate existing bridges using <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code> are also performed
immediately. CCXML applications can use <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code> at any time, except in the
case of dialogs, where <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code> can only be used on dialogs that have been
started. For instance, a CCXML application can join two connections where one (or even both) of the connections is in the
<code>ALERTING</code> state, providing early media on the <code>ALERTING</code> connection. If the CCXML implementation does
not support a requested <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> due to the current state of an underlying entity, then this will result in
an <code>error.conference.join</code> event with the '<code>reason</code>' field set appropriately.</li>

</ol>
<h4 id="invariantExamples">10.4.2: Invariant Examples</h4>
<p>To illustrate some typical invocations of <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> invariants a few example scenarios are presented below.
In the first scenario, connection <i>c1</i> is bridged to a conference <i>C1</i>, via a <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> where the
<code>duplex</code> mode is <code>full</code>.</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
After &lt;join id1="'C1'" id2="'c1'" duplex="'full'"&gt;
</pre>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
Session object properties
session.connections['c1'].input == 'C1'
session.connections['c1'].outputs.length == 1
session.connections['c1'].outputs[0] == 'C1'
session.conferences['C1'].bridges['c1'] == 'c1'
</pre>
<p><img alt="invariant2-before" src="images/invariant2-before.png" /></p>
<p>If <i>c1</i> then became a participant in a <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> where <i>d1</i> represents a connection to a
dialog and the <code>mediadirection</code> is both, the original picture would change as follows:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
After &lt;dialogstart connectionid="'c1'" src="'example.vxml'" mediadirection="'both'"&gt;
</pre>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
session.connections['c1'].input == 'd1'
session.connections['c1'].outputs.length == 2
session.connections['c1'].outputs[0] == 'C1'
session.connections['c1'].outputs[1] == 'd1'
session.conferences['C1'].bridges['c1'] == 'c1'
session.dialogs['d1'].input == 'c1'
session.dialogs['d1'].outputs[0] == 'c1'
session.dialogs['d1'].outputs.length == 1
</pre>
<p><img alt="invariant2-after" src="images/invariant2-after.png" /></p>
<p>The <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> required <i>c1</i> to "listen" to <i>d1</i>, however, <i>c1</i> was already in an
established bridge listening to <i>C1</i>. Consequently, the full duplex bridge between <i>c1</i> and <i>C1</i> is changed to a
half duplex, where <i>c1</i> is not allowed to "listen" to <i>C1</i> and a full duplex bridge is established between <i>c1</i>
and <i>d1</i>.</p>
<p>In this second scenario, <i>c1</i> and <i>c2</i> have been joined into a conference, <i>C1</i>.</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
After &lt;join id1="'C1'" id2="'c1'" duplex="'full'"&gt;
and: &lt;join id1="'C1'" id2="'c2'" duplex="'full'"&gt;
</pre>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
session.connections['c1'].input == 'C1'
session.connections['c1'].outputs.length == 1
session.connections['c1'].outputs[0] == 'C1'
session.connections['c2'].input == 'C1'
session.connections['c2'].outputs.length == 1
session.connections['c2'].outputs[0] == 'C1'
session.conferences['C1'].bridges['c1'] == 'c1'
session.conferences['C1'].bridges['c2'] == 'c2'
</pre>
<p><img alt="invariant1-before" src="images/conference.png" /></p>
<p>If a <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> is then executed that specifies <i>c2</i> and <i>C1</i> as participants and the duplex mode
is half, the bridge between <i>c2</i> and <i>C1</i> will be re-established with <i>C1</i> able to "listen" to <i>c2</i>, but
<i>c2</i> no longer able to "listen" to <i>C1</i>.</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
After &lt;join id1="C1" id2="c2" duplex="'half'"&gt;
</pre>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
session.connections['c1'].input == 'C1'
session.connections['c1'].outputs.length == 1
session.connections['c1'].outputs[0] == 'C1'
session.connections['c2'].input == undefined
session.connections['c2'].outputs.length == 1
session.connections['c2'].outputs[0] == 'C1'
session.conferences['C1'].bridges['c1'] == 'c1'
session.conferences['C1'].bridges['c2'] == 'c2'
</pre>
<p><img alt="invariant1-after" src="images/invariant1-after.png" /></p><br clear="none" />
<p>In this third scenario, there are three connections c1, c2 and c3. Connections c1 and c2 are connected with a half duplex
bridge, connection 3 is not bridged at this point.</p>

After &lt;join id1="'c1'" id2="'c2'" duplex="'half'"&gt;

<p><img alt="invariant3-before" src="images/invariant3-before.png" /></p>
<p>A full bridge is established between connections c2 and c3, connection c1 is still receiving from c2.</p>

<p>A CCXML document can attempt to create or attach to a Conference Object using <code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code>. This
element instructs the implementation to allocate a Conference Object using the specified options. The successful execution of
<code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code> <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> result in the generation of a

<p>Since conferences are global in scope, it is possible that other sessions will establish or terminate bridges to a
Conference created by an application. Sessions that have created or attached to a Conference using
<code>&lt;createconference&gt;</code> receive notifications of any bridges that are created or destroyed, through the
'<code>conference.joined</code>' and '<code>conference.unjoined</code>' events. However, if a session establishes or terminates
a bridge between a Connection that it owns and a Conference that it has created/attached to, it will only receive one such
event - not one event each for the Connection and for the Conference.</p>

<p>Different implementations may also have different restrictions on when and how merge functionality can be used. Some
implementations might allow calls that are alerting to be merged, whereas others might only operate on calls that are already
in the connected state. In addition, some implementations might only be able to merge calls in which one of the calls is an
outbound call that specifically identifies the associated inbound call when that outbound call is placed (via hints on
<code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code>).</p>

<h4 id="eventsOverview">10.6.1: Overview</h4>
<p>This section defines the events related to telephony operations including events related to the call state, success and
failure events for the various telephony operations.</p>
<p>Several of the events defined in this section are associated with the change in state of a Connection Object. For instance,
the '<code>connection.connected</code>' event causes a transition to the <code>CONNECTED</code> state. Platforms <em class=
"RFC2119">MUST</em> perform updates to Connection Object state when events are dequeued by the EHIA before the
<code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> selection process (and thus before execution of <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> content). This
is necessary such that conditional expressions on transitions, as well as executable content, can reference Connection Object
state that is consistent with the event being processed</p>
<h4 id="s10.6.2">10.6.2: <code>connection.alerting</code></h4>
<p>This event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be emitted when the underlying telephony connection transitions to an

<h4 id="s10.6.13">10.6.13: <code>conference.joined</code></h4>

bridged using <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code>. The fields of this event are shown below.</p>
<p>If a session receives a '<code>conference.joined</code>' event because it is attached to a Conference, either
'<code>id1</code>' or '<code>id2</code>' may refer to a Connection/Dialog owned by another session. Such identifiers are not
locally meaningful to the session receiving the event (although they can still be used for logging or other purposes).</p>
<p>Join-related events (including <code>conference.joined</code>, <code>conference.unjoined</code>,
<code>error.conference.join</code>, and <code>error.conference.unjoin</code>) use the <code>id1</code> and <code>id2</code>
attributes to identify the connections, conferences, or dialogs against which the event occurs. The value of <code>id1</code>
and <code>id2</code> will depend on why the event was generated, and will be set according to the following rules:</p>
<ul>
<li>For events resulting from a <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;unjoin&gt;</code> operation, <code>id1</code> and
<code>id2</code> will have the same values supplied via the <code>id1</code> and <code>id2</code> attributes in the original
element;</li>
<li>For events resulting from a <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> with a <code>joinid</code> attribute, <code>id1</code> will
reflect Connection ID of the created call, and <code>id2</code> will have the same value as the <code>joinid</code>
attribute;</li>
<li>For events resulting from a Connection, Conference, or Dialog becoming unavailable, <code>id1</code> will reflect the ID
of the object that became unavailable, and <code>id2</code> will reflect the ID of the object it was previously joined to.
Such events may occur for many reasons - asynchronous disconnection, <code>&lt;disconnect&gt;</code>,
<code>&lt;merge&gt;</code>, or <code>&lt;redirect&gt;</code> (on a Connection), <code>&lt;destroyconference&gt;</code>, and
<code>dialog.exit</code> or <code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> (on a Dialog). Failures may also cause the termination of
bridges. However, due to the asynchronous nature of CCXML, applications should not generally rely on this ordering, since
(for example) a Connection might disconnect at the same time that an application performs a
<code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code>.</li>

<h3 id="cpl">CPL</h3>
<p>The Call Processing Language [<cite><a href="#ref-CPL" shape="rect">CPL</a></cite>] is an XML based language that can be
used to describe and control Internet telephony services. Its focus is user scripting of call handling behavior for incoming
calls. It is designed to be suitable for running on a server where users may not be allowed to execute arbitrary programs, and
so is not Turing-complete.</p>
<h3 id="callxml">CallXML</h3>
<p>CallXML [<cite><a href="#ref-CALLXML" shape="rect">CALLXML</a></cite>] is a markup language created by Voxeo Corporation
that includes both voice and call-control functionality. CallXML is an XML based markup language used to describe the user
interface of a telephone, voice over IP, or multi-media call application to a CallXML browser.</p>
<p>CallXML was designed to make it easy for Web developers to create applications that can interact with and control any number
or type of calls, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Telephone or Voice over IP call applications which can control the initiation and routing of a phone call itself,
supporting such features as outbound dialing, conferencing, and multi-call interactions (e.g., conference bridges, Internet
call waiting, follow-me/find-me, etc)</li>
<li>Telephone or Voice over IP call applications which can easily interact and respond to touch-tone based entry and
selection (e.g., voicemail, interactive voice response)</li>
<li>Call Applications which include support for additional media, such as faxes and video (e.g., unified messaging, video
conferencing, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="csta">ECMA-CSTA</h3>
<p>The description of CSTA [<cite><a href="#ref_CSTA" shape="rect">CSTA</a></cite>] from http://www.ecma-international.org/ is
as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"CSTA specifies an Applications Interface and Protocols for monitoring and controlling calls and devices in a
communications network.</p>
<p>These calls and devices may support various media and can reside in various network environments such as IP, Switched
Circuit Networks and mobile networks. CSTA however, abstracts various details of underlying signalling protocols (e.g.
SIP/H.323) and networks for the applications."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The architecture of CCXML would allow a platform to be based on CSTA for the underlying telephony protocol while still
providing the CCXML execution environment for ease of integration with voice browsers.</p>
<h3 id="txml">TXML</h3>
<p>TXML (Telera's Extensible Markup Language) is an XML based language
designed by Genesys (formerly Telera) for remotely controlling the behavior of Point of Presence (POP) servers.</p>
<p>TXML provides the syntax for the XML Pages, which are generated at the customer's application at the premises and used by a
POP server to execute actions on behalf of the customer's application. The XML Pages are simple ASCII text files that are
either stored in a Web server's directory at the premises or generated by scripts at the premises server. The XMLPages are
requested from the premises server via <acronym title="Hyper Text Transfer Protocol">HTTP</acronym> requests made by a client
on the POP gateway.</p>
<p>The language includes elements for</p>
<ul class="noindent">
<li>Media Control</li>
<li>Call Control and Telephony</li>
<li>Call Router Integration</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="sip">SIP</h3>
<p>SIP, the Session Initiation Protocol, [<cite><a href="#ref_RFC3261" shape="rect">RFC3261</a></cite>] is a signaling protocol
for Internet conferencing, telephony, presence, events notification and instant messaging. As a signaling protocol, SIP sits
"below" the application description level of VoiceXML and CCXML. We expect many CCXML and VoiceXML browsers to support SIP
signaling.</p>

<h2 id="VoiceXMLIntegration">Appendix D - VoiceXML 2.0 Integration Details</h2>
<p><strong>This section is Normative.</strong></p>
<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-Overview">D.1 Overview</h3>
<p>This section describes the details of how CCXML and VoiceXML 2.0 work together to provide dialog functionality in CCXML.</p>
<p>The CCXML application behaviors described below are guidelines and applications are not required to support the full set of
VoiceXML interactions. Platforms however should support the events and methods specified below to allow CCXML applications to
implement the behaviors documented in this Appendix.</p>
<p>Since HTTP is a stateless protocol, application servers typically use cookie-based and/or URI rewriting techniques to enable
stateful interactions with the server. Authors should be aware that application servers employing cookie-based management
techniques will view concurrently executing CCXML and VoiceXML applications as independent (the CCXML and VoiceXML cookie
stores are independent). Authors wishing to correlate CCXML and VoiceXML data at the server can use URI rewriting or
alternatively employ the CCXML sessionid variable together with the connectionid or conferenceid as a common, unique key across
the CCXML and VoiceXML applications.</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-Events">D.2 Events</h3>
<p>CCXML and VoiceXML 2.0 need to be able to exchange events between the browsers. The method of the message passing is up to
the platform but it is assumed that there is some basic capacity in place.</p>
<p>Each running CCXML session has an event queue used to process CCXML events, independently of VoiceXML event processing by
the dialogs created by that CCXML session. The execution of certain CCXML elements, such as
<code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;send&gt;</code>, may cause events to be sent to the VoiceXML browser;
similar, certain VoiceXML elements such as <code>&lt;transfer&gt;</code> will result in the generation of dialog events
delivered to the CCXML session that owns the dialog in question. The sections below define the event relationship between the
CCXML and VoiceXML environments.</p>
<p>VoiceXML 2.0 provides limited capabilities for handling asynchronous or unexpected events. Since CCXML is designed around a
robust event processing mechanism, and since the CCXML session manages connections to the underlying network, processing of
asynchronous events - which may be delivered through externally accessible event I/O processors - typically occurs primarily
within the CCXML application, which can then control the VoiceXML session as appropriate. The VoiceXML dialog can therefore
focus exclusively on interaction with the user.</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-SessionVars">D.3 VoiceXML Session Variables</h3>
<p>When a VoiceXML dialog is bridged to a connection with an associated call leg, the standard VoiceXML session variables
obtain their values from the call leg. Otherwise, these variables are undefined. After the dialog is bridged to a connection,
VoiceXML session variables are not updated again. CCXML defines an additional read-only VoiceXML session variable, also
populated when the dialog is bridged to a connection, called <code>session.connection.ccxml</code> with the following
sub-properties:</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>session.connection.ccxml.sessionid</b></dt>
<dd>This variable evaluates to the CCXML Session ID to which the VoiceXML dialog is currently associated.</dd>
<dt><b>session.connection.ccxml.dialogid</b></dt>
<dd>This variable evaluates to the CCXML Dialog ID for the current dialog.</dd>
<dt><b>session.connection.ccxml.connectionid</b></dt>
<dd>This variable evaluates to the CCXML Connection ID to which the VoiceXML dialog is currently bridged. This variable is
undefined if the dialog is not bridged to a connection.</dd>
<dt><b>session.connection.ccxml.conferenceid</b></dt>
<dd>This variable evaluates to the CCXML Conference ID to which the VoiceXML dialog is currently bridged. This variable is
undefined if the dialog is not bridged to a conference.</dd>
<dt><b>session.connection.ccxml.values</b></dt>
<dd>This associative array contains the names and values of the <code>parameters</code> attribute supplied in a CCXML
<code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> invocation.</dd>
</dl>
<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-Dialogprepare">D.4 CCXML <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code></h3>
<p>When a CCXML application processes a <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> element it prepares a VoiceXML application with the
URI that is passed in on the <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> element.</p>
<p>Normally it is expected that a VoiceXML dialog environment will use the <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> request as an
opportunity to fetch the initial document indicated by the <code>src</code> and <code>namelist</code> attributes along with any
referenced resources such as <code>&lt;audio&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;script&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;grammar&gt;</code> elements
marked as prefetchable.</p>
<p>Even if a VoiceXML dialog environment is unable to perform any useful preparation the CCXML implementation <em class=
"RFC2119">MUST</em> support the <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> element and deliver a <code>dialog.prepared</code> event in
response. The implementation <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> as a minimum, note the values provided via the <code>src</code>,
<code>namelist</code>, and <code>connectionid</code> attributes, create a Dialog object, and return a new unique value to the
location defined by the <code>dialogid</code> attribute.</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-Dialogstart">D.5 CCXML <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code></h3>
<p>When a CCXML application processes a <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> element it starts up a VoiceXML application on the
connection with the URI that is passed in on the <code>&lt;dialogstart&gt;</code> element or to the dialog that was prepared
using <code>&lt;dialogprepare&gt;</code> and specified using the <code>prepareddialogid</code> attribute.</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-DialogTerminate">D.6 CCXML <code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code></h3>
<p>When a CCXML application processes a <code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> it causes a
<code>"connection.disconnect.hangup"</code> event to be thrown to the VoiceXML application. As far as the VoiceXML application
knows the call was just disconnected. The VoiceXML application still has a chance to return data to the CCXML application by
using <code>&lt;exit&gt;</code> in its <code>&lt;catch&gt;</code> statement.</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-Exit">D.7 VoiceXML <code>&lt;exit&gt;</code></h3>
<p>When a VoiceXML application processes a VoiceXML <code>&lt;exit&gt;</code> it will cause the VoiceXML application to exit
and return the contents of the <code>namelist</code> attribute to the CCXML application in the <code>"dialog.exit"</code> event
in the following form:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;exit namelist="foo bar jar"/&gt;
</pre>
<p>maps into an event that looks like the following:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
dialog.exit
values.foo
values.bar
values.jar
</pre>
<p>and could be accessed in a CCXML Application like this:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;!-- Process the incoming call --&gt;
&lt;transition state="dialogActive" event="dialog.exit"&gt;
&lt;log expr="'Houston, the dialog foo: [' + event$.values.foo + ']'" /&gt;
&lt;log expr="'Houston, the dialog bar: [' + event$.values['bar'] + ']'" /&gt;
&lt;var name="xxx" expr="'jar'/&gt;
&lt;log expr="'Houston, the dialog jar: [' + event$.values[xxx] + ']'" /&gt;
&lt;exit /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
</pre>
<p>If the VoiceXML application is returning data using the <code>expr</code> attribute the data will be stored in
<code>"values"</code>.</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;!-- Process the incoming call --&gt;
&lt;transition state="dialogActive" event="dialog.exit"&gt;
&lt;log expr="'Houston, the dialog using expr [' + event$.values + ']'" /&gt;
&lt;exit /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
</pre>
<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-Disconnect">D.8 VoiceXML <code>&lt;disconnect&gt;</code></h3>
<p>When the VoiceXML application processes a <code>&lt;disconnect&gt;</code> element it causes a
<code>"dialog.disconnect"</code> event to be thrown in the CCXML application. It is then up to the CCXML application to
disconnect the call and sends back a <code>"connection.disconnect.hangup"</code> event by using the
<code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> element. The following is an example of what would happen:</p>
<ol>
<li>The VoiceXML application executes a <code>&lt;disconnect&gt;</code>.</li>
<li>As a result, the VoiceXML interpreter sends a disconnect event to CCXML.</li>
<li>CCXML receives a <code>"dialog.disconnect"</code> event from the VoiceXML application. It interprets this as a request
from the VoiceXML application to "please disconnect me".</li>
<li>An eventprocessor in the CCXML document <em class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> have a <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> element
intended to handle the <code>"dialog.disconnect"</code> event.</li>
<li>The CCXML application would have a <code>&lt;disconnect&gt;</code> element as the child of the transition event. This
would disconnect the call.</li>
<li>An eventprocessor in the CCXML document should have a <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> element intended to handle the
<code>"connection.disconnected"</code> event.</li>
<li>The <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> element has a child element which performs a <code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> on
the dialog.</li>
</ol>
<p>Here is the example CCXML code that completes the disconnect and returns the <code>"connection.disconnect.hangup"</code>
event back to VoiceXML using <code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code>:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;ccxml version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/ccxml"&gt;
&lt;var name="dialogid"/&gt;
&lt;eventprocessor statevariable="mystate"&gt;
&lt;transition event="dialog.disconnect"&gt;
&lt;assign name="dialogid" expr="event$.dialogid"/&gt;
&lt;disconnect connectionid="event$.connectionid" /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;transition event="connection.disconnected" &gt;
&lt;dialogterminate dialogid="dialogid"/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;/eventprocessor&gt;
&lt;/ccxml&gt;
</pre>
<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-Transfer">D.9 VoiceXML <code>&lt;transfer&gt;</code></h3>
<p>When a VoiceXML application processes a <code>&lt;transfer&gt;</code> element it is handled within CCXML via series of
events between the VoiceXML platform and the CCXML application. The type of transfer is controlled in VoiceXML 2.0 by the
<code>bridge</code> attribute. If the value of <code>bridge</code> is "<code>true</code>" this will come in with a transfer
type of "<code>bridge</code>" and if the value is "<code>false</code>" it will have a type of "<code>blind</code>". Here is an
example of the logic to support the VoiceXML 2.0 transfer types:</p>
<ul>
<li>The VoiceXML application executes a <code>&lt;transfer&gt;</code> causing a <code>dialog.transfer</code> event to be sent
to the CCXML Session.</li>
<li>The CCXML document should have a <code>&lt;transition&gt;</code> to handle the <code>dialog.transfer</code> event. This
transition should implement the logic in the following steps.</li>
<li>If the <code>type</code> attribute of the <code>dialog.transfer</code> event is "<code>blind</code>" perform the
following:
<ul>
<li>Execute a <code>&lt;redirect&gt;</code> to move the call to URI specified in the <code>dialog.transfer</code>
event</li>
<li>The CCXML Application sends a <code>connection.disconnect.transfer</code> event to inform the VoiceXML session that
the <code>&lt;transfer&gt;</code> is complete.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If the <code>type</code> attribute of the <code>dialog.transfer</code> event is "<code>bridge</code>" perform the
following:
<ul>
<li>Invoke a <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> to create an outgoing call leg.</li>
<li>If the <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> completes with a <code>connection.connected</code> event then do the
following:
<ul>
<li>Join the two call leg together as full duplex and if needed start a <code>maxtime</code> timer.</li>
<li>If a <code>connection.disconnected</code> event comes in for the original party:
<ul>
<li>Disconnect the new party</li>
<li>Return a <code>connection.disconnect.hangup</code> using <code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> to the VoiceXML
session.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If a <code>connection.disconnected</code> event comes in for the new party:
<ul>
<li><code>&lt;join&gt;</code> the original connection back to the dialog full dupex</li>
<li>return a <code>dialog.transfer.complete</code> event to the dialog with a reason of
<code>far_end_disconnect</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If a <code>maxtime</code> event comes in:
<ul>
<li>Disconnect the new party</li>
<li><code>&lt;join&gt;</code> the original connection back to the dialog full dupex</li>
<li>send a <code>dialog.transfer.complete</code> event to the dialog with a reason of
<code>maxtime_disconnect</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If a <code>dialog.terminatetransfer</code> event comes in:
<ul>
<li>Disconnect the new party</li>
<li><code>&lt;join&gt;</code> the original connection back to the dialog full dupex</li>
<li>send a <code>dialog.transfer.complete</code> event to the dialog with a reason of
<code>near_end_disconnect</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If the <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> fails with a <code>connection.failed</code> event then do the following:
<ul>
<li>Send a <code>dialog.transfer.complete</code> event to the VoiceXML dialog with the failure reason.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If the <code>type</code> attribute of the <code>dialog.transfer</code> event is <code>bridge</code>, and if early media
is desired/permissible, then the above steps should be performed with the following exceptions:
<ul>
<li>When invoking <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> to create the outgoing call leg, the <code>joinid</code> attribute
should be specified and should refer to the connection ID of the inbound leg associated with the dialog performing the
<code>&lt;transfer&gt;</code>;</li>
<li>If the <code>&lt;createcall&gt;</code> completes with a <code>connection.connected</code> event, start a maxtime
timer (if needed), but do not perform a <code>&lt;join&gt;</code> (since the calls are already joined).</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dialogEventsTransferComplete"><code>dialog.transfer.complete</code></h4>
<p>This event <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be sent from the CCXML application to the Dialog which uses this to fill transfer
results (i.e. for VoiceXML platforms to fill field item results). The <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> attributes used to send this

<h3 id="Appendix-VoiceXML-UserDisconnect">D.10 User Disconnect</h3>
<p>When a caller hangs up on one of the connections the VoiceXML dialog is not automatically disconnected. The CCXML
application then needs to send a <code>"connection.disconnect.hangup"</code> event to the VoiceXML application by using the
<code>&lt;dialogterminate&gt;</code> element so it can complete any cleanup that is required. The VoiceXML application can then
still return data to the CCXML application by using the VoiceXML <code>&lt;exit&gt;</code> element.</p>

- the Dialog and change our state.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="dialogActive"
event="connection.disconnected"&gt;
&lt;dialogterminate dialogid="dialogid"/&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'userDisconnect'" /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Dialog has exited after the caller hungup.
- We just are going to exit from this CCXML session...
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="userDisconnect" event="dialog.exit"&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
-
- Handle a transfer request from a VXML script.
-
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="dialogActive" event="dialog.transfer"&gt;
&lt;!-- Branch on transfer type --&gt;
&lt;if cond="event$.type == 'blind'"&gt;
&lt;!-- Bridge == false. We are going to just redirect the call --&gt;
&lt;!-- Update our state var --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'redirecting'" /&gt;
&lt;!-- And redirect to the uri specified in the event --&gt;
&lt;redirect connectionid="in_connectionid" dest="event$.uri" /&gt;
&lt;!-- Just send the success event to the dialog --&gt;
&lt;send name="'connection.disconnect.transfer'"
target="dialogid"
targettype="'dialog'"/&gt;
&lt;else/&gt;
&lt;!-- Bridge == true. In this case we need to
place a call and bridge the calls --&gt;
&lt;!-- save off maxtime --&gt;
&lt;assign name="vxml_maxtime" expr="event$.maxtime" /&gt;
&lt;!-- Update our state var --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'calling'" /&gt;
&lt;!-- Place the call using the values from the transfer request --&gt;
&lt;assign name="URI" expr="event$.uri" /&gt;
&lt;createcall dest="event$.uri"
connectionid="out_connectionid"
aai="event$.aai"
timeout="event$.connecttimeout"/&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- We will get the following events but we do not do anything
- because in VoiceXML 2.0 you just ignore redirect errors.
- We do however process the dialog.exit and shutdown
- the CCXML Session.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="redirecting"
event="connection.redirected"&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;transition state="redirecting" event="connection.redirect.failed"&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;transition state="redirecting" event="dialog.exit"&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
-
- Handle bridge=true Events
-
- This first event is for if the outbound call failed.
-
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="calling" event="connection.failed"&gt;
&lt;!-- Just send the error event to the dialog --&gt;
&lt;assign name="results" expr="event$.reason"/&gt;
&lt;send name="'dialog.transfer.complete'"
target="dialogid"
targettype="'dialog'"
namelist="results" /&gt;
&lt;!-- Update our state var back to the original state --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'dialogActive'" /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- The outbound call has been answered.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="calling" event="connection.connected"&gt;
&lt;!-- Update our state var back to show that we are connected --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'outgoing_call_active'" /&gt;
&lt;!-- Unjoin the calls before it can be connected to other call --&gt;
&lt;join id1=" dialogid" id2=" in_connectionid" duplex="'half'" dtmfclamp="false"/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Now connecte the outbound.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="outgoing_call_active" event="conference.joined"&gt;
&lt;!-- Join the two calls together --&gt;
&lt;join id1="in_connectionid" id2="out_connectionid" duplex="'full'" /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- We will get here once the join completes.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="outgoing_call_active"
event="conference.joined"&gt;
&lt;!-- If maxtime has been set then we setup a timer --&gt;
&lt;if cond="vxml_maxtime != null"&gt;
&lt;send name="'vxml_maxtime'"
target="session.id"
delay="vxml_maxtime"
sendid="maxtime_sendid"/&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Deal with someone disconnecting.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="outgoing_call_active"
event="connection.disconnected"&gt;
&lt;!-- Cancel any maxtime events that are waiting to be fired --&gt;
&lt;if cond="maxtime_sendid != null"&gt;
&lt;cancel sendid="maxtime_sendid"/&gt;
&lt;assign name="maxtime_sendid" expr="null"/&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
&lt;!-- Branch off based on what call leg this is for and send
the proper event to the dialog --&gt;
&lt;if cond="event$.connectionid == out_connectionid"&gt;
&lt;assign name="results" expr="'far_end_disconnect'" /&gt;
&lt;send name="'dialog.transfer.complete'"
target="dialogid"
targettype="'dialog'"
namelist="results" /&gt;
&lt;!-- Update our state var back to the original state --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'dialogActive'" /&gt;
&lt;else /&gt;
&lt;!-- Set our state to show that the
original caller is disconnected. --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'userDisconnect'" /&gt;
&lt;dialogterminate dialogid="dialogid"/&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Deal with a "hotword" type event where the dialog
- requests that we stop the transfer.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="outgoing_call_active"
event="dialog.terminatetransfer"&gt;
&lt;!-- Change our state to show we are dealing with hotword stuff --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'hotword'" /&gt;
&lt;!-- Cancel any maxtime events that are waiting to be fired --&gt;
&lt;if cond="maxtime_sendid != null"&gt;
&lt;cancel sendid="maxtime_sendid"/&gt;
&lt;assign name="maxtime_sendid" expr="null"/&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
&lt;!-- unjoin our connections --&gt;
&lt;unjoin id1="in_connectionid" id2="out_connectionid"/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Calls have been unjoined.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="hotword" event="conference.unjoined"&gt;
&lt;!-- Rejoin the first connection to the dialog --&gt;
&lt;join id1="in_connectionid" id2="dialogid"/&gt;
&lt;!-- Disconnect the outbound call --&gt;
&lt;disconnect connectionid="out_connectionid"/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Send an event to the dialog once we are all back together again.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="hotword" event="conference.joined"&gt;
&lt;!-- Build up our event --&gt;
&lt;assign name="results" expr="'near_end_disconnect'" /&gt;
&lt;send name="'dialog.transfer.complete'"
target="dialogid"
targettype="'dialog'"
namelist="results" /&gt;
&lt;!-- Update our state var back to the dialogActive state --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'dialogActive'" /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Deal with connection.disconnected events in the hotword state.
- We are only going to deal with stuff if the event is
- for the incoming call.
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="hotword" event="connection.disconnected"&gt;
&lt;if cond="event$.connectionid == in_connectionid"&gt;
&lt;dialogterminate dialogid="dialogid"/&gt;
&lt;!-- Update our state var to the userDisconnect state --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'userDisconnect'" /&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Deal with the maxtime event during a call transfer.
- Should this happen we just disconnect the outbound call leg
- and get back to the dialogActive state.
-
- Step one is to disconnect the call...
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="outgoing_call_active"
event="vxml_maxtime"&gt;
&lt;assign name="maxtime_sendid" expr="null"/&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'maxtime'" /&gt;
&lt;disconnect connectionid="out_connectionid"/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Once we have the disconnect event we verify that we
- got it for the outbound call and rejoin the dialog to the
- inbound call. If the inbound call disconnected
- we are going to go on and forward the event along
- and wait for the dialog to exit.
-
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="maxtime" event="connection.disconnected"&gt;
&lt;if cond="event$.connectionid == out_connectionid"&gt;
&lt;join id1="dialogid" id2="in_connectionid"/&gt;
&lt;else /&gt;
&lt;dialogterminate dialogid="dialogid"/&gt;
&lt;/if&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
-
- We are rejoined. Update our state and send the transfer
- event back to the dialog.
-
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="maxtime" event="conference.joined"&gt;
&lt;!-- Update our state var back to the dialogActive state --&gt;
&lt;assign name="mystate" expr="'dialogActive'" /&gt;
&lt;assign name="results" expr="'maxtime_disconnect'" /&gt;
&lt;send name="'dialog.transfer.complete'"
target="dialogid"
targettype="'dialog'"
namelist="results" /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- Dialog has exited while we were in a hotword state.
- We just are going to exit from this CCXML session...
--&gt;
&lt;transition state="maxtime" event="dialog.exit"&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
-
- Deal with any extra random events that may come in.
-
--&gt;
&lt;!--
- Make sure that we deal with any extra dialog events
- by ending the session. A real ccxml app would do something
- better here.
--&gt;
&lt;transition event="dialog.*"&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- And do the same for any exit events.
--&gt;
&lt;transition event="error.*"&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;!--
- And last but not least catch any connection.disconnect
- events that made it past us.
--&gt;
&lt;transition event="connection.disconnected"&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;/eventprocessor&gt;
&lt;/ccxml&gt;

<h3 id="changes-pr" >Changes in Proposed Recommendation</h3>
<ul >
<li>ISSUE-668 - PUBLIC - CR - April 2010 CCXML&#x27;s DTD is broken (<a href="#dtd">Appendix B</a>)</li>
<li>ISSUE-669 - PUBLIC - CR - attribute type error in 1 April 2010 CCXML (Sections <a href="#s10.6.13">10.6.13</a> and <a href="#s10.6.14">10.6.14</a>) .</li>
<li>ISSUE-670 - PUBLIC - CR - CCXML Implementation Report: asserts 714 and 715 (Section <a href="#flowEventsCCXMLkill">6.3.6</a>).<br/>
Added clarification around what session the attribute referred to and addressed cases for external events where session id does not exist.
</li>
<li>ISSUE-671 - PUBLIC - CR - Recommended addition to the April 2010 CCXML DTD (<a href="#dtd">Appendix B</a>)</li>
<li>ISSUE-674 - PUBLIC - CR - CCXML specification: Application variables (<a href="#application_variables">Section 8.4</a>).<br/>
Clarified and removed legacy text from prior drafts of the spec.
</li>
<li>ISSUE-675 - PUBLIC - CR - CCXML specification: typo (<a href="#Appendix-BasicHTTP-receive">Appendix K.3</a>)</li>
<li>ISSUE-677 - PUBLIC - CR - April CCXML: test case conflicts with ECMA rules (<a href="#ConceptsScripting">Section 3.3.1</a>).<br/>
Added an implementation note around Line by line vs Batch ECMAScript execution based on IR testing. <br/>
Based on years of implementation experience the CCXML working group believes that CCXML application code
that would be affected by these scenarios is very rare. Any such code likely relies on unusual ordering
of variable declarations and assignment statements or the use of confusing variable names and scopes;
such code is discouraged due to its potential for producing unintended results.
</li>
<li>ISSUE-681 - PUBLIC - CR - April CCXML: &quot;Class&quot; definition (<a href="#ConceptsScriptingDefinitions">Section 3.4</a>).<br/>

<h2 id="conformance">Appendix J - Conformance</h2>
<p><strong>This section is Normative.</strong></p>
<h3 id="J1">J.1 - Conforming CCXML Document</h3>
<p>A document is a <em>Conforming CCXML Document</em> if it meets all of the following conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>it is a well-formed XML 1.0 or 1.1 document <a href="#ref_XML" shape="rect">[XML]</a> conforming to namespaces in XML
<a href="#ref_XMLNS" shape="rect">[XMLNS]</a></li>
<li>it has a <code>&lt;ccxml&gt;</code> root element which includes a <code>version</code> attribute of "1.0"</li>
<li>the <code>&lt;ccxml&gt;</code> element designates the CCXML namespace. This can be achieved by declaring an
<code>xmlns</code> attribute or an attribute with an <code>xmlns</code> prefix <a href="#ref_XMLNS" shape="rect">[XMLNS]</a>.
The namespace for CCXML is defined to be "http://www.w3.org/2002/09/ccxml"</li>
<li>it adheres to the specification described in this document (Voice Browser Call Control: CCXML Version 1.0) including the
constraints expressed in the schema (see Appendix C)</li>
</ul>
<p>It is recommended that the <code>&lt;ccxml&gt;</code> element indicate the location of the CCXML schema (see Appendix C) via
the <code>xsi:schemaLocation</code> attribute from <a href="#ref-schema2" shape="rect">[SCHEMA2]</a>:<br clear="none" />
<br clear="none" />
<code>xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/ccxml http://www.w3.org/TR/ccxml/ccxml.xsd"</code><br clear="none" />
<br clear="none" />
There may be a DOCTYPE declaration in the document prior to the root element. If present, the public identifier included in the
DOCTYPE declaration must reference the CCXML DTD (Appendix B) using its Formal Public Identifier:<br clear="none" />
<br clear="none" />
<code>&lt;!DOCTYPE ccxml PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD CCXML 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/ccxml/ccxml.dtd"&gt;</code></p>
<p>The system identifier may be modified appropriately. The DTD subset must not be used to override any parameter entities in
the DTD.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a Conforming CCXML Document:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;ccxml version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/ccxml"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/ccxml http://www.w3.org/TR/ccxml/ccxml.xsd"&gt;
&lt;eventprocessor&gt;
&lt;transition event="connection.alerting"&gt;
&lt;log expr="'Hello World'"/&gt;
&lt;exit/&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;/eventprocessor&gt;
&lt;/ccxml&gt;
</pre>
<p>Note that in this example, the recommended <code>xmlns:xsi</code> and <code>xsi:schemaLocation</code> attributes are
included. Note also, the inclusion of an XML declaration. An XML declaration like the one above is not required in all XML
documents. CCXML document authors are strongly encouraged to use XML declarations in all their documents. Such a declaration is
required when the character encoding of the document is other than the default UTF-8 or UTF-16 and no encoding was determined
by a higher-level protocol.</p>
<p>The CCXML language or these conformance criteria provide no designated size limits on any aspect of CCXML documents. There
are no maximum values on the number of elements, the amount of character data, or the number of characters in attribute
values.</p>
<h3 id="J2">J.2 - Using CCXML with other namespaces</h3>
<p>The CCXML namespace may be used with other XML namespaces as per <a href="#ref_XMLNS" shape="rect">[XMLNS]</a>, although
such documents are not strictly conforming CCXML documents as defined above. Future work by W3C will address ways to specify
conformance for documents involving multiple namespaces.</p>
<h3 id="J3">J.3 - Conforming CCXML Processors</h3>
<p>A CCXML Processor is a program that can parse and process Conforming CCXML Documents. In a CCXML Processor, the XML parser
must be able to parse and process all XML constructs defined by XML 1.0 <a href="#ref_XML10" shape="rect">[XML10]</a>, XML 1.1
<a href="#ref_XML" shape="rect">[XML]</a> and Namespaces in XML <a href="#ref_XMLNS" shape="rect">[XMLNS]</a>. This XML parser
is not required to perform validation of a CCXML document as per its schema or DTD; this implies that during processing of a
CCXML document it is optional to apply or expand external entity references defined in an external DTD.</p>
<p>A Conforming CCXML Processor must correctly understand and apply the semantics of each markup element as described by this
document.</p>
<p>When a Conforming CCXML Processor encounters elements or attributes, other than <code>xml:lang</code> and
<code>xml:base</code>, in a non-CCXML namespace it may:</p>
<ul>
<li>ignore the non-standard elements and/or attributes, or</li>
<li>process the non-standard elements and/or attributes, or</li>
<li>reject the document containing those elements and/or attributes</li>
</ul>
<p>There is, however, no conformance requirement with respect to performance characteristics of the CCXML Processor.</p>
<h3 id="J4">J.4 - IRI vs URI</h3>
<p>In all places that URIs <a href="#ref_URI" shape="rect">[URI]</a> are referenced as being valid in a CCXML document a CCXML
processor <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> accept IRIs <a href="#ref_IRI" shape="rect">[IRI]</a>.</p>
<h2 id="basichttpio">Appendix K - Basic HTTP Event I/O Processor</h2>
<p><strong>This section is Normative.</strong></p>
<h3 id="Appendix-BasicHTTP-Overview">K.1 Overview</h3>
<p>This appendix describes a "<code>basichttp</code>" event I/O event processor which uses HTTP (<a href="#ref_RFC2616" shape=
"rect">[RFC2616]</a>) to transport events between a CCXML implementation and external components.</p>
<p>A CCXML implementation receives events from an external component via the "<code>basichttp</code>" processor. If the event
is destined for an active CCXML session, the event and its parameters are injected into the session. Using the
"<code>basichttp</code>" processor, events can be sent from a CCXML session with the <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> element to an
external component.</p>
<p>The "<code>basichttp</code>" processor is intended as a <i>minimal</i> interoperable mechanism for sending and receiving
events between external components and CCXML 1.0 implementations. Other event I/O processors may be more appropriate for
advanced application scenarios. HTTP Basic Access Authentication (<a href="#ref_RFC2617" shape="rect">[RFC2617]</a>) should be
supported at a minimum. HTTP Digest Access Authentication (<a href="#ref_RFC2617" shape="rect">[RFC2617]</a>), HTTPS, or other
security techniques should be considered.</p>
<p>A CCXML 1.0 implementation must support the "<code>basichttp</code>" processor. Implementations may support other event
injection processors so long as they do not have the type "<code>basichttp</code>" which is reserved for the processor
described in this section.</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-BasicHTTP-address">K.2 Access URI</h3>
<p>The access URI for the "<code>basichttp</code>" event I/O processor is the URI to which an external component can send an
event for injection into an active session.</p>
<p>The access URI is available in a CCXML session via <code>session.ioprocessors</code> using the key "<code>basichttp</code>".
For example, <code>session.ioprocessors["basichttp"]</code> returns the access URI (e.g.
<code>http://www.example.com/ccxml/basichttp</code>) for the "<code>basichttp</code>1" processor.</p>
<p>The access URI for the "<code>basichttp</code>" event processor may be sent to external components by, for example, its
inclusion in the <code>namelist</code> attribute of the <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> element.</p>
<p>The access URI may also be specified in an implementation-specific manner (for example, product documentation).</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-BasicHTTP-receive">K.3 Receiving Events</h3>
<p>Input from external components <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be received by the CCXML implementation at the
"<code>basichttp</code>" access URI as HTTP POST requests. The request is analyzed by the "<code>basichttp</code>" event
processor, resulting in</p>
<ol>
<li>an event being injected into an active CCXML session, or</li>
<li>no action being taken (an error occurred, operation not permitted, etc)</li>
</ol>
<p>The "<code>basichttp</code>" processor <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> indicate the result to the external component via the
response code contained in the HTTP response.</p>
<p>Parameter values <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be passed into the "<code>basichttp</code>" processor using an encoded
<code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code> body.</p>
<p>To inject an event into an existing CCXML session, the HTTP request must specify the id of the session and the name of the
event. The session id <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be specified as an HTTP parameter named "<code>sessionid</code>"</p>
<p>The name of the event must be specified using the HTTP parameter "<code>name</code>".</p>
<p>The following HTTP parameters are reserved:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>sessionid</code></dt>
<dd>The value specifies the id of session into which the event is to be injected.</dd>
<dt><code>name</code></dt>
<dd>The value specifies the name of the event. The value is composed of alphanumeric and "." (dot) characters only. The first
character must not be a dot or digit. The parameter is required.</dd>
<dt><code>eventsource</code></dt>
<dd>The value specifies a URI to which events may be sent (i.e. it may be used as the value of the <code>target</code>
attribute in a <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> element). The parameter is optional.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Any non-reserved HTTP request parameters (in other words, all HTTP request parameters that are not listed in the table
above) define the properties of the injected CCXML event. For instance, if the HTTP request contained a parameter named
"<code>foo</code>" with value "<code>bar</code>", then the corresponding CCXML event object would have a property named
"<code>foo</code>" (accessible as <code>event$.foo</code>), the value of which would be the string value
"<code>bar</code>".</p>
<p>Request parameters names may contain one or more periods, in order to allow the injection of events with properties that are
objects. For example, a parameter named
"a.b"
with a value of "<code>1</code>" represents an object named "<code>a</code>", which
has a property "<code>b</code>" with a value of "<code>1</code>". A subsequent parameter "<code>a.c</code>" with a value of
"<code>2</code>" would add a property named "<code>c</code>" with a value of "<code>2</code>" to that event. This scheme
applies recursively; using "<code>a.d.x</code>" = "<code>3</code>" and "<code>a.d.y</code>" = "<code>4</code>" would result in
a multi-level object. Request parameter names must be valid ECMAScript variable names, or must be composed of period-separated
ECMAScript variable names. Request parameter values, both reserved and non-reserved, are treated as strings. The omission of a
request parameter value will be treated as an empty string. Parameter names may not be repeated within a request. A request
with repeated parameter names is considered to be invalid, and should be rejected by the "<code>basichttp</code>" event I/O
processor.</p>
<p>The following subset of HTTP response codes are defined:</p>

</tbody>
</table>
<p>Events injected into an active CCXML session by the "<code>basichttp</code>" processor provide the standard event attributes
as described in <a href="#s9.4.2" shape="rect">Section 9.4.2</a>. The <code>name</code> has the value of the
"<code>name</code>" parameter. The <code>eventsource</code> has the value of the "<code>eventsource</code>" parameter if
provided; otherwise <code>eventsource</code> is <code>undefined</code>. The <code>eventid</code> is a unique string identifier
of the event generated by the "<code>basichttp</code>" processor. The <code>eventsourcetype</code> has the value
"<code>basichttp</code>".</p>
<p>The payload parameters and their values are exposed as top level properties of the event object (complex parameter names
require appropriate initialization of sub-objects). To avoid conflict with standard event attributes, payload parameters with
the name "<code>eventid</code>" or "<code>eventsourcetype</code>" are ignored.</p>
<p>For example, if the access URI for the "<code>basichttp</code>" processor is set to
"<code>http://www.example.com/ccxml/basichttp</code>", an external component can send an HTTP request as follows:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
http://www.example.com/ccxml/basichttp?sessionid=ccxmlsession1&amp;
name=basichttp.myevent&amp;eventsource=http%3a//www.example.org/ccxmlext&amp;
agent=agent12&amp;site.location=orlando&amp;site.code=RE445
</pre>
<p>If the session id matches an active CCXML session (i.e. its <code>session.id</code> is "<code>ccxmlsession1</code>") and the
parameter names and values are valid, the processor injects the event into the session and sends an HTTP 204 response code. The
event may then be handled by a transition such as:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
&lt;!-- Process incoming basichttp event --&gt;
&lt;transition state="'dialogActive'" event="basichttp.*" &gt;
&lt;log expr="'Received event'" /&gt;
&lt;log expr="'name=' + event$.name" /&gt;
&lt;log expr="'sourcetype=' + event$.eventsourcetype" /&gt;
&lt;log expr="'eventsource=' + event$.eventsource" /&gt;
&lt;log expr="'agent=' + event$.agent" /&gt;
&lt;log expr="'site.location=' + event$.site.location" /&gt;
&lt;log expr="'site.code=' + event$.site.code" /&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
</pre>
<p>where <code>event$.name</code> would have the value "<code>basichttp.myevent</code>", <code>event$.eventsourcetype</code>
the value "<code>basichttp</code>", <code>event$.eventsource</code> the value "<code>http://www.example.org/ccxmlext</code>",
<code>event$.agent</code> the value "<code>agent12</code>", <code>event$.site.location</code> the value "<code>orlando</code>"
and <code>event$.site.code</code> the value "<code>RE445</code>".</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-BasicHTTP-send">K.4 Sending Events</h3>
<p>Events <em class="RFC2119">may</em> be sent from the CCXML implementation to an external component with the
"<code>basichttp</code>" processor using the <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> element (<a href="#Send" shape="rect">Section 9.2.3</a>)
with the <code>targettype</code> attribute set to "<code>basichttp</code>". The <code>target</code> attribute <em class=
"RFC2119">MUST</em> be set to the access URI of the external component.</p>
<p>The HTTP method <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be "<code>POST</code>" and parameter values <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be
encoded in an <code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code> body (<code>POST</code> method).</p>
<p>The id of the CCXML session id <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be sent as a HTTP parameter named "<code>sessionid</code>".</p>
<p>The <code>name</code> attribute <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be specified as an HTTP parameter named "<code>name</code>".
If the <code>namelist</code> attribute is defined, its variable names and values <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be mapped to
HTTP parameters. Inline content is not supported. The parameter <code>name</code> is the variable name, with the same
qualification as used in the <code>namelist</code>. The parameter value is the variable value after being converted into a
string. If a variable in the <code>namelist</code> is an ECMAScript Object, the mechanism by which it must be submitted is not
currently defined. Instead of submitting ECMAScript Objects directly, the application developer may explicitly submit the
properties of an Object (e.g. "<code>date.month date.year</code>").</p>
<p>The basic HTTP event I/O processor generates events in response to <code>&lt;send&gt;</code> as described in <a href="#s9.3"
shape="rect">Section 9.3</a>. An HTTP success 2XX response code returned by the external component (or a successful
challenge-response resulting from a 401 Unauthorized response) <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be mapped to the CCXML event
<code>send.successful</code>; all other non-successful (non 2xx) HTTP response codes <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be mapped to
<code>error.send.failed</code>.</p>
<h2 id="createsession">Appendix L - Session Creation Event I/O Processor</h2>
<p><strong>This section is Normative.</strong></p>
<h3 id="Appendix-createsession-Overview">L.1 Overview</h3>
<p>This appendix describes a "<code>createsession</code>" event processor which can receive HTTP (<a href="#ref_RFC2616" shape=
"rect">[RFC2616]</a>) requests from an external component to create new CCXML sessions.</p>
<p>The "<code>createsession</code>" processor is intended as a <i>minimal</i> interoperable mechanism to allow external
components to create new sessions in CCXML 1.0 implementations. Other event I/O processors may be more appropriate for advanced
application scenarios. Security issues may need to be addressed by the implementation. If security is not addressed as part of
the deployment network configuration, then HTTP Authentication (<a href="#ref_RFC2617" shape="rect">[RFC2617]</a>) , HTTPS, or
other security techniques should be considered. Implementations may use additional HTTP parameters specifically to address
security.</p>
<p>A CCXML 1.0 implementation may support a "<code>createsession</code>" event processor. Implementations may support
alternative session creation event processors so long as they do not have the type "<code>createsession</code>" which is
reserved for the processor described in this section.</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-createsession-address">L.2 Access URI</h3>
<p>The access URI for the "<code>createsession</code>" event I/O processor is the URI to which an external component can send a
session creation event.</p>
<p>If the implementation supports the "<code>createsession</code>" event processor, then its access URI is available in a CCXML
session via <code>session.ioprocessors</code> using the key "<code>createsession</code>". For example,
<code>session.ioprocessors["createsession"]</code> returns the access URI (e.g.
<code>http://www.example.com/ccxml/createsession</code>) for the "<code>createsession</code>" type event I/O processor.</p>
<p>The access URI may also be specified in an implementation-specific manner (for example, product documentation).</p>
<h3 id="Appendix-BasicHTTP-receive-create">L.3 Receiving Session Creation Events</h3>
<p>A new CCXML session can be created by an external component when the "<code>createsession</code>" processor receives at its
access URI an HTTP POST request with a "<code>uri</code>" parameter whose value is the CCXML document to load.</p>
<p>The following HTTP parameters are reserved:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>uri</code></dt>
<dd>The value specifies the URI of the CCXML document for the session. The parameter is required.</dd>
<dt><code>eventsource</code></dt>
<dd>The value specifies a URI to which events may be sent from the created session using, for example, the
"<code>basichttp</code>" event processor. The parameter is optional.</dd>
<dt><code>method</code></dt>
<dd>Equivalent to <code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>'s '<code>method</code>' attribute; used to set the HTTP method applied in
the fetch of the specified CCXML document. Allowed values are "<code>get</code>" or "<code>post</code>" (case-insensitive).
If omitted, the default value is "<code>get</code>".</dd>
<dt><code>timeout</code></dt>
<dd>Equivalent to <code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>'s '<code>timeout</code>' attribute; used to set the maximum time allowed
when fetching a CCXML document before abandoning the fetch attempt and returning an error. If omitted, the CCXML platform
will use a default value</dd>
<dt><code>maxage</code></dt>
<dd>Equivalent to <code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>'s '<code>maxage</code>' attribute; used to set the <code>max-age</code>
value of the <code>Cache-Control</code> header when fetching CCXML documents. If omitted, the CCXML platform will use a
default value.</dd>
<dt><code>maxstale</code></dt>
<dd>Equivalent to <code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>'s '<code>maxstale</code>' attribute; used to set the
<code>max-stale</code> value of the <code>Cache-Control</code> header when fetching CCXML documents. If omitted, the CCXML
platform will use a default value.</dd>
<dt><code>postbody</code></dt>
<dd>Used to set the <code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code> encoded HTTP body for "<code>post</code>" requests. This
parameter is ignored if '<code>method</code>' is set to "<code>get</code>". The value of this parameter is the prepared
<code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code> content that has been URL-encoded.</dd>
<dt><code>fetchparam</code></dt>
<dd>Equivalent to <code>&lt;createccxml&gt;</code>'s '<code>fetchparam</code>' attribute; used to pass information about the
newly created session to the application server. If omitted, the default value is "<code>none</code>".</dd>
</dl>
<p>Other parameters provided in the HTTP request are treated as the event payload and made available in the created session.
Single parameter values must be supported; multiple value parameters may be supported.</p>
<p>Payload parameter names must be valid ECMAScript variable names. Valid complex variable names are permitted; for example,
"<code>agent.role</code>". Reserved and payload parameter values must be valid ECMAScript expressions.</p>
<p>The following HTTP response codes are defined:</p>

</table>
<p>If the CCXML session was created successfully, the HTTP 200 response <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> contain an
'<code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code>' body. The '<code>session.id</code>' property of the newly created session
<em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be returned in this body; other information <em class="RFC2119">MAY</em> also be returned by the
platform.</p>
<p>In the created session, <code>session.startupmode</code> is set to "<code>external</code>", the <code>session.uri</code> is
to set to the value of the <code>uri</code> parameter and a <code>session.values</code> object is defined with the property
<code>type</code> set to the value "<code>createsession</code>" and the property <code>eventsource</code> set to the value of
the "<code>eventsource</code>" parameter. Other payload parameters are exposed as properties of <code>session.values</code>
(complex parameter names require appropriate initialization of sub-objects). To avoid conflict with <code>type</code> and
<code>eventsource</code> defined above, payload parameters with the name "type" and <code>eventsource</code> are ignored.</p>
<p>For example, an external component sends the following HTTP request to the "<code>createsession</code>" access URI :</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
http://www.example.com/ccxml/createsession?
uri=http://www.example.org/ccxml/myscript.ccxml&amp;

delay.value=500&amp;delay.format=msecs&amp;
vxmlscript=http://www.example.org/ccxml/myscript.vxml
</pre>
<p>If the "<code>createsession</code>" processor is supported by the CCXML implementation, the request parameter names and
values are valid, and the ccxml document is successfully fetched and processed, then a new CCXML session is created with the
following <code>session</code> variables:</p>
<pre class="example" xml:space="preserve">
session.id = 'ccxmlsession2'
session.startupmode = 'external'
session.uri = 'http://www.example.org/ccxml/myscript.ccxml'
session.values.type = 'createsession'
session.values.eventsource = 'http://www.example.org/ccxmlext'
session.values.delay.value = 500
session.values.delay.format = msecs
session.values.vxmlscript = 'http://www.example.org/ccxml/myscript.vxml'
</pre>
<p>The "<code>createsession</code>" processor then responds to the originating HTTP request by generating an HTTP 200 response
code. The session id of the newly created CCXML session <em class="RFC2119">MUST</em> be returned in the body of the
response.</p>
