BROADWORKS XTENDED SERVICES INTRODUCTION
BroadWorks Xtended Services Interfaces (Xsi interfaces) are a set of application programming interfaces
supporting the integration of BroadWorks functions with Internet services to create Web Application or
mashups. Currently, service providers offer a voice service consisting of connectivity, features, phone
numbers and usage or minutes. By adding a public web service interface to the offering, the voice services
can be integrated with existing Internet services. This integration is done outside of BroadWorks. It can be
done by end users, the service providers, or third party developers to provide applications that normally
could not be offered in a mainstream offering.
The Xsi-Actions are a set of RESTful APIs that allows resources to be defined and addressed over HTTP
with simple XML. This approach requires less client-side software to be written than other approaches and
is the overwhelming choice for developers to create Web Applications. These APIs allow a remote
application to control and query BroadWorks.
XSI ARCHITECTURE AND MESSAGEING
The Xsi-Action is a Web Application that runs in a container like the BroadWorks Xtended Service Platform
(Xsp). Xsi-Action is responsible for authenticating the requests received from the remote applications. It is
also responsible for providing request and response mapping and for routing events received from the
BroadWorks core.
When an HTTP requests is received from the remote application and successfully authenticated, then the
request is processed by the BroadWorks core and an appropriate response is generated.
