The elements in this XML document are:

•

status

– Since the XML API accesses a process that exists in context separate from CVP

VoiceXML Server, there is no automatic way for an error that occurs during the creation of a
response to be caught and handled properly by the Server. This tag exists to simulate that
process by containing either the word “success” or a text message describing the error. When
anything but “success” is returned, the Server throws an exception using the content of

as the error message. This way, from the perspective of the Server and the

application logs, the result will be the same no matter whether the Java API or the XML API
is used. See the description for the

<error>

tag below as there is some overlap in

functionality.

•

error

– This tag reports to CVP VoiceXML Server that an error occurred while executing the

standard action. The Server will then throw an exception whose message is contained in the

<error>

tag. This tag acts almost exactly like the

tag and was introduced later to

allow for consistency across all components. An error listed in this tag takes precedence over
an error message listed in the

tag. The

tag must still be used to indicate

that the standard action element executed without error by containing the word “success”.
