Preface

The Sun Java System Content Delivery Server Customization Guide describes each of the Content Delivery Server application programming interfaces (APIs.) These APIs are used for integrating the Content Delivery Server with an existing infrastructure.

Before You Read This Document

This guide is for programmers who are responsible for writing adapters based on the APIs and system administrators who are responsible for integrating the Sun Java System Content Delivery Server with their existing infrastructure. It assumes some knowledge of the Java programming language and networking, database, and web technologies.

How this Document is Organized

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the Content Delivery Server APIs.

Chapter 2 describes the Event Service API, which provides asynchronous reporting of billable events.

Chapter 3 describes the Billing API, which provides an interface between the Content Delivery Server and your billing system.

Chapter 4 describes the Content Management API, which is used to manage the interface between the Content Delivery Server and your content management system.

Chapter 5 describes the Content Validation API, which is used to validate and protect content that is submitted to the Content Delivery Server.

Chapter 6 describes the User Profile API, which is used to add, delete, retrieve, update, enable, and disable users in the system.

Chapter 7 describes the WAP Gateway API, which retrieves the MSISDN, device profile, and other attributes from the HTTP header.

Chapter 8 describes the Messaging API, which provides a mechanism for carriers or application vendors to integrate their own Wireless Access Protocol (WAP), Short Message Service (SMS), and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) push implementations.

Chapter 9 enables the Content Delivery Server to handle confirmation messages sent from a Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMSC).

Chapter 10 provides access to data maintained by the Content Delivery Server.
