Use Session Initiation Protocol to provide multimedia and interactive services
Follow these procedures for creating SIP applications and configuring the SIP container.
SIP is used to establish, modify, and terminate multimedia IP sessions including IP telephony, presence, and instant messaging. A SIP application in WebSphere is a Java program that uses at least one Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servlet. A SIP servlet is a Java-based application component managed by a SIP servlet container.
The servlet container is a part of an application server that provides the network services over which requests and responses are received and sent. The servlet container decides which applications to invoke and in what order. A servlet container also contains and manages a servlet through its lifecycle.
SIP servlet containers can employ SIP proxy servers as surrogates to handle load balancing and security issues. For more information about the SIP proxy server, read about installing the SIP proxy server.
Tasks
- Configure the SIP container We can configure SIP container properties and timers.
- Developing SIP applications Use this reference information for developers for developing SIP applications.
- Deploy SIP applications Use the administrative console for installing, starting, stopping, and customizing your SIP application installation.
- Secure SIP applications We can apply security settings to enable security providers and set up a trust association interceptor (TAI).
- Tracing a SIP container We can troubleshoot SIP applications using traces on the SIP container.
