1 Scope
The present document is part 7 of the Stage 3 specification for an Application Programming Interface (API) for Open
Service Access (OSA).
The OSA specifications define an architecture that enables application developers to make use of network functionality
through an open standardised interface, i.e. the OSA APIs.
The present document specifies the Terminal Capabilities Service Capability Feature (SCF) aspects of the interface. All
aspects of the Terminal Capabilities SCF are defined here, these being:
• Sequence Diagrams
• Class Diagrams
• Interface specification plus detailed method descriptions
• State Transition diagrams
• Data Definitions
• IDL Description of the interfaces
• WSDL Description of the interfaces
The process by which this task is accomplished is through the use of object modelling techniques described by the
Unified Modelling Language (UML).

4 Terminal Capabilities SCF
The following clauses describe each aspect of the Terminal Capabilities Capability Feature (SCF).
The order is as follows:
• The Sequence diagrams give the reader a practical idea of how each of the SCF is implemented.
• The Class relationships clause show how each of the interfaces applicable to the SCF, relate to one another.
• The Interface specification clause describes in detail each of the interfaces shown within the Class diagram
part.
• The State Transition Diagrams (STD) show the transition between states in the SCF. The states and transitions
are well-defined; either methods specified in the Interface specification or events occurring in the underlying
networks cause state transitions.
• The Data Definitions clause show a detailed expansion of each of the data types associated with the methods
within the classes. Note that some data types are used in other methods and classes and are therefore defined
within the Common Data types part ES 202 915-2.
4.1 General requirements on support of methods
An implementation of this API which supports or implements a method described in the present document, shall
support or implement the functionality described for that method, for at least one valid set of values for the parameters
of that method.
Where a method is not supported by an implementation of a Service interface, the exception
P_METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED shall be returned to any call of that method.
Where a method is not supported by an implementation of an Application interface, a call to that method shall be
possible, and no exception shall be returned.

7 The Service Interface Specifications
7.1 Interface Specification Format
This clause defines the interfaces, methods and parameters that form a part of the API specification. The Unified
Modelling Language (UML) is used to specify the interface classes. The general format of an interface specification is
described below.
7.1.1 Interface Class
This shows a UML interface class description of the methods supported by that interface, and the relevant parameters
and types. The Service and Framework interfaces for enterprise-based client applications are denoted by classes with
name Ip. The callback interfaces to the applications are denoted by classes with name IpApp. For the
interfaces between a Service and the Framework, the Service interfaces are typically denoted by classes with name
IpSvc, while the Framework interfaces are denoted by classes with name IpFw
7.1.2 Method descriptions
Each method (API method 'call') is described. Both synchronous and asynchronous methods are used in the API.
Asynchronous methods are identified by a 'Req' suffix for a method request, and, if applicable, are served by
asynchronous methods identified by either a 'Res' or 'Err' suffix for method results and errors, respectively. To handle
responses and reports, the application or service developer must implement the relevant IpApp or IpSvc
interfaces to provide the callback mechanism.
7.1.3 Parameter descriptions
Each method parameter and its possible values are described. Parameters described as 'in' represent those that must have
a value when the method is called. Those described as 'out' are those that contain the return result of the method when
the method returns.
7.1.4 State Model
If relevant, a state model is shown to illustrate the states of the objects that implement the described interface.
7.2 Base Interface
7.2.1 Interface Class IpInterface
All application, framework and service interfaces inherit from the following interface. This API Base Interface does not
provide any additional methods.
<>
IpInterface

7.3 Service Interfaces
7.3.1 Overview
The Service Interfaces provide the interfaces into the capabilities of the underlying network - such as call control, user
interaction, messaging, mobility and connectivity management.
The interfaces that are implemented by the services are denoted as 'Service Interface'. The corresponding interfaces that
must be implemented by the application (e.g. for API callbacks) are denoted as 'Application Interface'.
7.4 Generic Service Interface
7.4.1 Interface Class IpService
Inherits from: IpInterface;
All service interfaces inherit from the following interface.
<>
IpService


setCallback (appInterface : in IpInterfaceRef) : void
setCallbackWithSessionID (appInterface : in IpInterfaceRef, sessionID : in TpSessionID) : void


7.4.1.1 Method setCallback()
This method specifies the reference address of the callback interface that a service uses to invoke methods on the
application. It is not allowed to invoke this method on an interface that uses SessionIDs.
Parameters
appInterface : in IpInterfaceRef
Specifies a reference to the application interface, which is used for callbacks.
Raises
TpCommonExceptions, P_INVALID_INTERFACE_TYPE

7.4.1.2 Method setCallbackWithSessionID()
This method specifies the reference address of the application's callback interface that a service uses for interactions
associated with a specific session ID: e.g. a specific call, or call leg. It is not allowed to invoke this method on an
interface that does not use SessionIDs.
Parameters
appInterface : in IpInterfaceRef
Specifies a reference to the application interface, which is used for callbacks.

 12 ETSI ES 202 915-7 V1.2.1 (2003-08)
sessionID : in TpSessionID
Specifies the session for which the service can invoke the application's callback interface.
Raises
TpCommonExceptions, P_INVALID_SESSION_ID, P_INVALID_INTERFACE_TYPE

8 Terminal Capabilities Interface Classes
The Terminal Capabilities SCF enables the application to retrieve the terminal capabilities of the specified terminal.
Additionally it is possible for the application to request notifications when the capabilities of the terminal change in
some way. The Terminal Capabilities service provides SCF interfaces IpTerminalCapabilities and
IpExtendedTerminalCapabilities. The application side interface for the reporting is called
IpAppExtendedTerminalCapabilities.
8.1 Interface Class IpTerminalCapabilities
Inherits from: IpService.
The Terminal Capabilities SCF interface IpTerminalCapabilities contains the synchronous method
getTerminalCapabilities. The application has to provide the terminaIdentity as input to this method. The result indicates
whether or not the terminal capabilities are available in the network and, in case they are, it will return the terminal
capabilities (see the data definition of TpTerminalCapabilities for more information). The network may override some
capabilities that have been indicated by the terminal itself due to network policies or other restrictions or modifications
in the supported capabilities.
This interface, or IpExtendedTerminalCapabilities shall be implemented by a Terminal Capabilities SCF as a
minimum requirement. If this interface is implemented, the getTerminalCapabilities()method shall be implemented as a
minimum requirement.
<>
IpTerminalCapabilities


getTerminalCapabilities (terminalIdentity : in TpString) : TpTerminalCapabilities


8.1.1 Method getTerminalCapabilities()
This method is used by an application to get the capabilities of a user's terminal. Direction: Application to Network.
Returns result: Specifies the latest available capabilities of the user's terminal.
This information, if available, is returned as CC/PP headers as specified in W3C (see [6] in ES 202 915-1) and adopted
in the WAP UAProf specification (see [9] in ES 202 915-1). It contains URLs; terminal attributes and values, in RDF
format; or a combination of both.
Parameters
terminalIdentity : in TpString
Identifies the terminal. It may be a logical address known by the WAP Gateway/PushProxy.
