Re: How does VXML handle events sent by CCXML?

Hi Rajesh,
first, apologies for late answer.

As you could see the specifications are a bit concise regarding this 
issue. I can describe you the way we implement this in our VXML/CCXML 
platform OptimTalk. Perhaps this could help you.

Some CCXML elements send standard VXML events. For instance, 
interpreting <dialogterminate> in CCXML results in sending 
connection.disconnect.hangup event to VXML.

Then there are some special events defined in CCXML Appendix D for which 
the behavior of the VXML interpreter is defined. They might require 
special processing. For instance, sending dialog.transfer.complete from 
CCXML does not deliver any event to the VXML application. In this case, 
our VXML interpreter is informed about the event internally so it can 
handle the transfer correctly (e.g. timeout control is important here).

All the events without special meaning are simply sent to the VXML 
application event queue where they are processed as any other event 
produced by VXML. It means that <catch> can be used also for events 
coming from CCXML.

Regards,
Petr
