To some extent I agree, I am not sure it is most beneficial to embedd this logic directly
in SER. -jiri

Well, I think that integration around Web services in

towards Web Services.
If not SER globally, then at least some of SER user installations out there will have more
or less proprietary SOAP speaking modules. Because all of us folks need sometimes to
connect to billing systems, ERPs, Web portals and so on. And some of us already do it with
Web services, but they just don't have time to speak about it ;-)
Our intention should be to spare all those people the need to develop their own Web
services (SOAP) modules and do a consistent review of SER policy towards Web Services:
a) I think that we should at LEAST introduce SOAP for accounting. In emails sometime ago I
proposed to build into SER a set of Web Services compliant to IPDR standard. Then we could
at least facilitate simple requests for list of calls per user/domain/group, together with
relevant call times. I have nothing against other billing information exchange standards
of course, but I still think that IPDR is sexy.
b) Next we could build something around dialog module. Web methods to report ongoing
calls, to terminate a call, to insert voice prompt into an ongoing call.. Options are
endless here.
c) subscriber management - I think it is self descriptive
d) device provisioning, as I think Dave mentioned it - it is another good idea
e) ParlayX Web Services v.2.0 - for building all of those sexy call services and advanced
call routing, reaching further that current dialog module capabilities
What is more, having SOAP (and Web Services in general) in mind, the next generation Web
interface is just around the corner. SER with built-in Web Services, together with nice
interface build in PHP/XSLT, OpenLaszlo or whatever-is-the-sexiest-now Web technology,
could easily complement or even compete with Asterisk.

I'm digging through old archives and I am just
wondering how people feel about 18
month later about the discussion about SOAP, XMl-RPC, etc. Any feedback would be
appreciated -- what you think about it now and more importantly what's your
experience
if any. All in all, many are asking for a roadmap and input to that is most
welcome.

I have an opinion on this topic too but didn't want to begin egoistically with mine
:-)
