Introduction
Note Release 2.2 supports web-based programming APIs. These APIs are based on the REpresentational State
Transfer (REST) architecture. In Release 2.2, 3-Screen Session Shifting and Capability Exchange are
the only applications that are supported through the Web Services infrastructure.
The Internet Streamer CDS incorporates a Web Services infrastructure in order to support the 3-Screen
Session Shifting feature. The Web Services interface provides a way for service providers to
communicate information about content and subscribers to the CDS for session shifting.
The Web Services infrastructure features that are supported in this release are the following:
• Content Manager
• Subscriber Manager
• Profile Manager
• Stream Session Event Manager
The Service Router, designated as the centralized session manager, manages each Web Services
manager. Each Web Services manager has an XML file and associated HTTP GET message formats that
use the REST architecture. The XML files for the Content Manager, Subscriber Manager, and Profile
Manager are imported through the delivery service Session Shifting page. The Session Shifting page
offers the ability to add, append, and delete these files. See the “Session Shifting” section on page 5-10
for more information.
