EmailAlertServlet

This is the start Servlet for the EmailToPhone application when an alert call is made. Voicent Gateway knows to call this Servlet because it is defined in the starturl parameter of the call request. The main function of this Servlet is to dynamically generate a VXML file based on the email account.

    ...

    PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();

    pw.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>");
    pw.println("<vxml version=\"1.0\">");
    pw.println("<form id=\"email\">");
    ...
    pw.println("</vxml>");
  } 

For outbound call, it might be answered by a live human or an answering machine. If it is answered by an answering machine or voice mail system, the Servlet is invoked with the parameter ans=t. The following code shows that if it is answered by a live human, the system forwards the control to the gateway password.jsp file. This will validate the inbound password.

    String ans = request.getParameter("ans");
    if (! "t".equals(ans)) {
        pw.println("<submit next=\"/password.jsp\"/>");
    }
