CVP VoiceXML Studio Deployment
CVP VoiceXML Studio provides a location to place components that are to be shared across all
applications:

Studio/eclipse/plugins/com.audium.studio.common

. Individual classes are

placed in the

classes

subdirectory and JAR file archives are placed in the

lib

subdirectory.

Note that the only classes that need to be placed here are custom configurable elements and Say
It Smart plugins since all other components have no CVP VoiceXML Studio interface and hence
require deployment only on the Server. Once deployed in this folder, custom configurable
elements will appear in the element pane directly under the “Elements” folder alongside with
CVP VoiceXML-provided elements.

For component classes that apply to a specific application only, a developer uses the

deploy/java

directory found in that application’s project folder. Within Studio, compiled

classes and/or JAR files can be dragged from outside Studio to the appropriate subdirectory in
the

deploy/java

folder. An alternative method that does not require Studio to be running would

be to copy the files into the appropriate subdirectory of the

deploy/java

folder using the file

system. The application project folder can be found in

Studio/eclipse/workspace

and the

deploy/java

folder within the application will appear here exactly as it appears in the Studio

application project window. This can also be done while Studio is running, though to view the
copied files in Studio, the

deploy

folder should be selected and the Refresh option chosen from

the contextual menu.

Custom configurable elements placed in the

deploy/java

directory will appear in CVP

VoiceXML Studio’s element pane under the folder named “Local Elements”. The call flow
editor for that application must be closed and reopened in order for newly copied local elements
to appear in the element pane.

When the application is deployed from within Studio, the Server folder created for that
application will contain a folder named

java

whose contents is identical to the

deploy/java

folder in the Studio project.

CVP VoiceXML Server Deployment
When an application is deployed through CVP VoiceXML Studio, a folder is created that
encapsulates all the information for that application, including all Java code the developer placed
in the Studio project as per the instructions given in the previous section. If the application is to
change in any way, from changes to the call flow, to the addition or subtraction of required Java
files, those changes must be done through Studio and then redeployed to the Server.

One deployment requirement that must be performed by the developer is to ensure that the Java
components and utility libraries stored in the

Studio/eclipse/plugins/com.audium.studio.common

folder are also placed in the Server

common

folder. When an application is deployed from Studio, only that application’s files are

created, any common code is not included. As a result, it is the developer’s responsibility that the
contents of the common folders in Studio and the Server are identical.
