Phonebook
Here is an example of how to print the content of a phonebook named sales to stdout in CSV format
| Panel |
|---|
curl --insecure --basic -u superadmin [https://\]{host}:8443/sipxconfig/rest/phonebook/sales |
Placing calls
To test the service with curl use:
| Panel |
|---|
curl --insecure -X PUT [https://\]{user}:{password}@{host}:8443/sipxconfig/rest/call/{number} |
HTTP PUT to service URL will cause sipXconfig to place call to {number}.
The calls is placed using authorized user credentials. It works in the same way as click-to-call available on the user portal. User's phone rings first and, once someone answers, it places the call to {number}.

Adding new Services
sipXconfig used the RESTlet API to add RESTful services
...
Please note, due to a bug in RESTlet, it requires HTTP PUT request must have a body. You can add space, or anything to the body
to workaround it.
Service design
- Identify resouces and design the resource structure
- Determine which operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE) will be available for which resources
- Map resources into URI structure
- Determine representation for each resource (specific format XML/JSON)
Service implementation
- Implement resources
- :Each resource is an instance of restlet Resource class. Every RESTful function is mapped into one or more Resource methods. For example GET method is implemented by Resource.represent
- :Resource instances are managed by Spring. You can inject any context or manager that is necessary to perform service operations. For example phonebook service delegates bulk of the work to PhonebookManager.
...
- Write service system tests
- :Those are external tests written in Java/Ruby/Python that excersise the service. They are similar to UI tests.
Future Services
User ('my') services (those are services needed to implement functionality available through current user portal)
