The content indirection API provided by Converged Application Server helps you quickly determine if a SIP message uses content indirection, and to easily retrieve all metadata associated with the indirect content. The basic API consists of a utility class, com.bea.wcp.sip.util.ContentIndirectionUtil, and an interface for accessing content metadata, com.bea.wcp.sip.util.ICParsedData.

SIP Servlets can use the utility class to identify SIP messages having indirect content, and to retrieve an ICParsedData object representing the content metadata. The ICParsedData object has simple “getter" methods that return metadata attributes.
