APPLICATION SERVER GATEWAY TECHNOLOGY

Interfacing communication between a non-hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) event source and an application server function is described by calling a listener method to detect one or more events received from a non-HTTP event source. Data from the events is extracted and assembled into an application server event (AS Event) message. The AS Event message is transmitted to the application server function, which uses data from the AS Event to process its functionality. Resulting information may be sent to a communication method, which formats a message for the non-HTTP event source using the resulting information. This formatted message is then communicated to the non-HTTP event source. The interfaced communication may be initiated either by the non-HTTP event source or the application server function.
