Understanding & Constructing Dynamic CVP Elements with VFC: Part 1
Our Goal today is to construct a CVP Element that will consume an input string and by using the TTS engine on the Developers box will output audio for our test call. Cisco provides a number of examples of ways to create simple Dynamically configurable elements, you can find a number of them on the Cisco DevNet space for CVP. Cisco also provides Programming Guides for the CVP and Element Specifications (I am linking articles pertaining to CVP 11.0 for simplicity). We will be making use of the Voice Foundation Classes or 'VFC' to construct the VXML content for our Element but before we dive deep into VXML we start we are going to need to create a java class that defines our custom element. public class MyCustomDynamic_Element extends VoiceElementBase implements ElementInterface { } As you can see we are Implementing the ElementInterface class and Extending the VoiceElementBase class. Next, we are going to need to define the name of our e...
