Abstract
Mobicents JAIN SLEE SIP11 Resource Adaptor (RA) is the JAIN SLEE 1.1 RA for the SIP Protocol, used in Mobicents JAIN SLEE platform.
The RA implements the Resource Adaptor Type defined by Appendix D of the JAIN SLEE 1.1 Specification, and provides high performance and fail over support.
This manual uses several conventions to highlight certain words and phrases and draw attention to specific pieces of information.
In PDF and paper editions, this manual uses typefaces drawn from the Liberation Fonts set. The Liberation Fonts set is also used in HTML editions if the set is installed on your system. If not, alternative but equivalent typefaces are displayed. Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and later includes the Liberation Fonts set by default.
Four typographic conventions are used to call attention to specific words and phrases. These conventions, and the circumstances they apply to, are as follows.
Mono-spaced Bold
Used to highlight system input, including shell commands, file names and paths. Also used to highlight key caps and key-combinations. For example:
To see the contents of the file
my_next_bestselling_novel
in your current working directory, enter thecat my_next_bestselling_novel
command at the shell prompt and press Enter to execute the command.
The above includes a file name, a shell command and a key cap, all presented in Mono-spaced Bold and all distinguishable thanks to context.
Key-combinations can be distinguished from key caps by the hyphen connecting each part of a key-combination. For example:
Press Enter to execute the command.
Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to the first virtual terminal. Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to your X-Windows session.
The first sentence highlights the particular key cap to press. The second highlights two sets of three key caps, each set pressed simultaneously.
If source code is discussed, class names, methods, functions, variable names and returned values mentioned within a paragraph will be presented as above, in Mono-spaced Bold
. For example:
File-related classes include
filesystem
for file systems,file
for files, anddir
for directories. Each class has its own associated set of permissions.
Proportional Bold
This denotes words or phrases encountered on a system, including application names; dialogue box text; labelled buttons; check-box and radio button labels; menu titles and sub-menu titles. For example:
Choose Mouse Preferences. In the Buttons tab, click the Left-handed mouse check box and click to switch the primary mouse button from the left to the right (making the mouse suitable for use in the left hand).
from the main menu bar to launchTo insert a special character into a gedit file, choose from the main menu bar. Next, choose from the Character Map menu bar, type the name of the character in the Search field and click . The character you sought will be highlighted in the Character Table. Double-click this highlighted character to place it in the Text to copy field and then click the button. Now switch back to your document and choose from the gedit menu bar.
The above text includes application names; system-wide menu names and items; application-specific menu names; and buttons and text found within a GUI interface, all presented in Proportional Bold and all distinguishable by context.
Note the
shorthand used to indicate traversal through a menu and its sub-menus. This is to avoid the difficult-to-follow 'Select from the sub-menu in the menu of the main menu bar' approach.
or Mono-spaced Bold Italic
Proportional Bold Italic
Whether Mono-spaced Bold or Proportional Bold, the addition of Italics indicates replaceable or variable text. Italics denotes text you do not input literally or displayed text that changes depending on circumstance. For example:
To connect to a remote machine using ssh, type
ssh
at a shell prompt. If the remote machine isusername
@domain.name
example.com
and your username on that machine is john, typessh john@example.com
.The
mount -o remount
command remounts the named file system. For example, to remount thefile-system
/home
file system, the command ismount -o remount /home
.To see the version of a currently installed package, use the
rpm -q
command. It will return a result as follows:package
.
package-version-release
Note the words in bold italics above username, domain.name, file-system, package, version and release. Each word is a placeholder, either for text you enter when issuing a command or for text displayed by the system.
Aside from standard usage for presenting the title of a work, italics denotes the first use of a new and important term. For example:
When the Apache HTTP Server accepts requests, it dispatches child processes or threads to handle them. This group of child processes or threads is known as a server-pool. Under Apache HTTP Server 2.0, the responsibility for creating and maintaining these server-pools has been abstracted to a group of modules called Multi-Processing Modules (MPMs). Unlike other modules, only one module from the MPM group can be loaded by the Apache HTTP Server.
Two, commonly multi-line, data types are set off visually from the surrounding text.
Output sent to a terminal is set in Mono-spaced Roman
and presented thus:
books Desktop documentation drafts mss photos stuff svn books_tests Desktop1 downloads images notes scripts svgs
Source-code listings are also set in Mono-spaced Roman
but are presented and highlighted as follows:
package org.jboss.book.jca.ex1; import javax.naming.InitialContext; public class ExClient { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { InitialContext iniCtx = new InitialContext(); Object ref = iniCtx.lookup("EchoBean"); EchoHome home = (EchoHome) ref; Echo echo = home.create(); System.out.println("Created Echo"); System.out.println("Echo.echo('Hello') = " + echo.echo("Hello")); } }
Finally, we use three visual styles to draw attention to information that might otherwise be overlooked.
A note is a tip or shortcut or alternative approach to the task at hand. Ignoring a note should have no negative consequences, but you might miss out on a trick that makes your life easier.
Important boxes detail things that are easily missed: configuration changes that only apply to the current session, or services that need restarting before an update will apply. Ignoring Important boxes won't cause data loss but may cause irritation and frustration.
A Warning should not be ignored. Ignoring warnings will most likely cause data loss.
If you find a typographical error in this manual, or if you have thought of a way to make this manual better, we would love to hear from you! Please submit a report in the the Issue Tracker, against the product Mobicents JAIN SLEE SIP11 Resource Adaptor, or contact the authors.
When submitting a bug report, be sure to mention the manual's identifier: JAIN_SLEE_SIP11_RA_User_Guide
If you have a suggestion for improving the documentation, try to be as specific as possible when describing it. If you have found an error, please include the section number and some of the surrounding text so we can find it easily.
This resource adaptor provides a SIP API for JAIN SLEE applications, adapting the JAIN SIP 1.2 specification. JAIN SIP 1.2 is a Java specification for the Session Initiation Protocol, as defined by the protocol specs done by the IETF. Both transaction and dialog layers of the SIP protocol are available, to support all types of SIP applications through a single API. Lower level applications, such as SIP Proxies or Registrars typically use the transaction layer exclusively, while UAC, UAS and B2BUA higher level SIP applications rely on the dialog layer.
Events represent SIP messages received by the SIP stack, or failure use cases such as timeouts. Unlike the base JAIN SIP 1.2 API, SIP Requests with different SIP methods are fired as different event types, the same happens for SIP Responses with status code. The events are fired on transaction or dialog activities.
The Activities are the SIP Transactions and Dialogs, which applications in the SLEE may use to send SIP Requests and Responses, and to receive the events related with incoming messages.
The JAIN SIP 1.2 Resource Adaptor Type is specified in Appendix D of the JAIN SLEE 1.1 Specification. The specification can be freely downloaded from http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr240/index.html and includes Sbb code examples.
The RA implementation uses the Mobicents JAIN SIP HA stack, an extension of the JAIN SIP Reference Implementation which provides high availability and fault tolerance. The stack is the result of the work done by Mobicents JAIN SLEE and SIP Servlets development teams, and source code is provided in all releases.
The Resource Adaptor supports configuration only at Resource Adaptor Entity creation time. The following table enumerates the configuration properties:
Table 3.1. Resource Adaptor's Configuration Properties
Property Name | Description | Property Type | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
javax.sip. IP_ADDRESS | the IP address to which the SIP stack should attach - if value is not specified the RA will use the underlying Java EE container's bind address address | java.lang.String | |
javax.sip. OUTBOUND_PROXY | sets the outbound proxy of the SIP Stack. The format for this string is "ipaddress:port/transport" i.e. 129.1.22.333:5060/UDP. This property is optional | java.lang.String | |
javax.sip. PORT | the port to which the SIP stack should listen | java.lang.Integer | 5060 |
javax.sip. TRANSPORT | the list of supported transports, separated with "," | java.lang.String | UDP |
org.mobicents. ha.javax.sip. BALANCERS | the list of SIP balancers, in the form of "HOST:PORT", separated by ";", it is only used if the heart beat service property is defined | java.lang.String | |
org.mobicents. ha.javax.sip. LoadBalancer HeartBeating ServiceClassName | the name of the class responsible for the heart beats exchanged with the platform's SIP Balancer - if not specified the JAIN SIP HA stack won't use such feature | java.lang.String | |
org.mobicents. javax.sip. LOOSE_DIALOG _VALIDATION | controls validation of CSeq number for dialog messages. Set to true allows out of sequence messages to be accepted. | java.lang.Boolean |
Spaces where introduced in Property Name
column values, to correctly render the table. Please remove them when using copy/paste.
JAIN SLEE 1.1 Specification requires values set for properties without a default value, which means the configuration for those properties are mandatory. Otherwise the Resource Adaptor Entity creation will fail.
There is a single Resource Adaptor Entity created when deploying the Resource Adaptor, named SipRA
. The SipRA
entity uses the default Resource Adaptor configuration, specified in Section 3.1, “Configuration”.
The SipRA
entity is also bound to Resource Adaptor Link Name SipRA
. To use it in an SBB, add the following XML to its descriptor:
<resource-adaptor-type-binding>
<resource-adaptor-type-ref>
<resource-adaptor-type-name>
JAIN SIP
</resource-adaptor-type-name>
<resource-adaptor-type-vendor>
javax.sip
</resource-adaptor-type-vendor>
<resource-adaptor-type-version>
1.2
</resource-adaptor-type-version>
</resource-adaptor-type-ref>
<activity-context-interface-factory-name>
slee/resources/jainsip/1.2/acifactory
</activity-context-interface-factory-name>
<resource-adaptor-entity-binding>
<resource-adaptor-object-name>
slee/resources/jainsip/1.2/provider
</resource-adaptor-object-name>
<resource-adaptor-entity-link>
SipRA
</resource-adaptor-entity-link>
</resource-adaptor-entity-binding>
</resource-adaptor-type-binding>
Each Resource Adaptor Entity uses a single JAIN SLEE 1.1 Tracer, named SipResourceAdaptor
. The related Log4j Logger category, which can be used to change the Tracer level from Log4j configuration, is javax.slee.RAEntityNotification[entity=SipRA]
.
Ensure that the following requirements have been met before continuing with the install.
The Resource Adaptor hardware's main concern is RAM memory and Java Heap size, the more the better. For instance, while the underlying Mobicents JAIN SLEE may run with 1GB of RAM, 8GB is needed to achieve performance higher than 400 new calls per second.
Of course, memory is only needed to store the Resource Adaptor state, the faster the CPU more calls per second are supported, yet no particular CPU is a real requirement to use the RA.
Downloading the source code
Subversion is used to manage its source code. Instructions for using Subversion, including install, can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com
Use SVN to checkout a specific release source, the base URL is http://mobicents.googlecode.com/svn/tags/servers/jain-slee/2.x.y/resources/sip11, then add the specific release version, lets consider 2.4.0.FINAL.
[usr]$ svn co http://mobicents.googlecode.com/svn/tags/servers/jain-slee/2.x.y/resources/sip11/2.4.0.FINAL slee-ra-sip11-2.4.0.FINAL
Building the source code
Maven 2.0.9 (or higher) is used to build the release. Instructions for using Maven2, including install, can be found at http://maven.apache.org
Use Maven to build the deployable unit binary.
[usr]$ cd slee-ra-sip11-2.4.0.FINAL [usr]$ mvn install
Once the process finishes you should have the deployable-unit
jar file in the target
directory, if Mobicents JAIN SLEE is installed and environment variable JBOSS_HOME is pointing to its underlying JBoss Application Server directory, then the deployable unit jar will also be deployed in the container.
Similar process as for Section 4.2.1, “Release Source Code Building”, the only change is the SVN source code URL, which is http://mobicents.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/servers/jain-slee/resources/sip11.
To install the Resource Adaptor simply execute provided ant script build.xml
default target:
[usr]$ ant
The script will copy the RA deployable unit jar to the default
Mobicents JAIN SLEE server profile deploy directory, to deploy to another server profile use the argument -Dnode=
.
To uninstall the Resource Adaptor simply execute provided ant script build.xml
undeploy
target:
[usr]$ ant undeploy
The script will delete the RA deployable unit jar from the default
Mobicents JAIN SLEE server profile deploy directory, to undeploy from another server profile use the argument -Dnode=
.
The SIP Stack used by the RA supports ESTABLISHED
and EARLY
dialog failover. This means that an application must be in charge of properly adapting its state machine to recover dialog state in case original transaction had not send or receive answer with code greater than 100
.
The RA can be used with Mobicents SIP Load Balancer. The recommended version is 1.2.FINAL.
There are three properties which define how the RA connects to Mobicents SIP Load Balancer:
the property must be configured with the list of load balancer IP address and internal ports. As an example, suppose a single Mobicents SIP Load Balancer is running with IP 192.168.0.1
and internal port 5065
. The property would be set with a value of192.168.0.1:5065
. To specify multiple balancers use ;
as a separator.
this property is optional, and defines the class name of the HeartBeating service implementation. Currently, the only one available is org.mobicents.ha.javax.sip.LoadBalancerHeartBeatingServiceImpl
this property is optional, and defines the class of the load balancer elector from JAIN SIP HA Stack. The elector is used to define which load balancer will receive outgoing requests, which are out of dialog or in dialog with null state. Currently only one elector implementation is available, org.mobicents.ha.javax.sip.RoundRobinLoadBalancerElector
, which, as the class name says, uses a round robin algorithm to select the balancer.
