Abstract:
1. An apparatus for use in a communication system, the apparatus comprising: a processing element comprising a processor coupled to a memory; the processing element implementing an endpoint of the system; the endpoint comprising a session initiation protocol (SIP) component configured for communication via session initiation protocol signaling with one or more other endpoints of the system; the endpoint further comprising a web services component configured for signaling, by use of the session initiation protocol component that is executing on a first processor-based device, to one or more communication service applications of the system that are executing on a second processor-based device, wherein the first processor-based device is different than the second processor-based device, wherein the web services component is further configured to interface with the SIP component by use of a dynamic application service binding between simple object access protocol (SOAP) messages and service application program interfaces (APIs) of the SIP component.
