Session parameters section

The session parameters section lists parameters and specifies default values to apply in the application.

The defaults specified here override the platform defaults. However, any VoiceXML instructions in the application itself take higher precedence. For example, if the application specifies a maxstale attribute to apply when fetching a specific resource, that value takes precedence over the default specified in the session.xml file.

This section is delimited by the <sessionparameters> element. It contains these child elements:

• <global>—Specifies general parameters that apply to all services the application uses
• <logging>—Specifies parameters that apply to call log encryption
• <browser>—Specifies parameters that affect the Voice Browser service
• <speechrecog>—Specifies parameters that affect the Recognizer
• <speechserver>—Specifies parameters that affect Speech Server resource fetching
• <speechsynth>—Specifies parameters that affect Vocalizer (TTS)

Within each of these elements, parameters are defined by using <param> elements. Each <param> element takes a mandatory name attribute to specify the name of the parameter, and contains a child <value> element containing the default value for the parameter. For example:

<param name="name">

  <value>value</value>

</param>
