Abstract:
1. A method for merging session initiation protocol call flow with Web services, the method comprising: providing a user interface having a Web services design portion and a session initiation protocol call flow design portion, wherein the Web services design portion presents at least one Web services component and wherein the session initiation protocol call flow design portion presents at least one session initiation protocol call flow segment having a series of session initiation protocol message steps; receiving a graphical user interface component from a user, wherein the graphical user interface component graphically connects a selected Web services component with a selected session initiation protocol message step; generating a mapping that associates the selected Web services component and the selected session initiation protocol message step; and binding the selected Web services component with the selected session initiation protocol message step, wherein the at least one session initiation protocol call flow segment comprises a first session initiation protocol call flow segment having a first sequence of session initiation protocol message steps and a second session initiation protocol call flow segment having a second sequence of session initiation protocol message steps, the method further comprising: receiving a second mapping within the user interface, wherein the second mapping associates a first selected session initiation protocol message step from within the first session initiation protocol call flow segment with a second selected session initiation protocol message step from within the second session initiation protocol call flow segment; and binding the first selected session initiation protocol message step with the second selected session initiation protocol message step.
