JAVA API FOR PROGRAMMING WEB REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION APPLICATIONS

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for programming server-side real-time web communication applications. A JAVA application programming interface (API) is provided for web application developers to write JAVA applications on a server to control, manage, and mediate HTML5 endpoints that communicate with the JAVA applications. Each JAVA application can be a JAVA component that are annotated with a plurality of JAVA objects provided by the JAVA API, wherein the plurality of JAVA objects can also establish communication between HTML5 applications endpoints, and holding the state of the communication. The container can integrate with other enterprise technologies such as JMS and enable the JAVA applications to integrate with applications and services exposed by other providers, e.g., FACEBOOK. The JAVA API can be used to write applications that can connect with legacy IMS systems and services using existing JAVA APIs such as SIP servlet.
