Loading an Application Manifest

For Microsoft SIP Processing Language (MSPL) script applications, load the application manifest manually using the Microsoft Management Console. For more information, in the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 Administration Guide see "Adding Script-Only Applications."

NoteNote

Script-only applications cannot be loaded directly through WMI.

For SIP managed code applications, load the application manifest using the ApplicationManifest class, and compile the manifest by calling the ApplicationManifest.Compile method, as illustrated in the following code:

C#  Copy imageCopy Code 
ResourceManager myResourceManager = new ResourceManager(MyApplicationType);
string appManifestXml = myResourceManager.GetString("appManifest");

ApplicationManifest myAppManifest = ApplicationManifest.CreateFromString(appManifestXml);
try {
  myAppManifest.Compile();
}
catch (CompilerErrorException cee) {
  Console.WriteLine("Failed to compile.");
  foreach (string message in cee.ErrorMessages) {
	Console.WriteLine(message);
  }
  return;
}
Visual Basic  Copy imageCopy Code 
Dim myResourceManager As New ResourceManager(MyApplicationType)
Dim appManifestXml As String = myResourceManager.GetString("appManifest")

Dim myAppManifest As ApplicationManifest = ApplicationManifest.CreateFromString(appManifestXml)
Try
	myAppManifest.Compile()
Catch cee As CompilerErrorException
	Console.WriteLine("Failed to compile.")
Dim message As String
	For Each message In cee.ErrorMessages
		Console.WriteLine(message)
	Next
	Return
End Try

The compiled application manifest is presented to the server agent, which uses the application attributes along with the rules defined in the MSPL message filter to dispatch only those SIP messages that the application is designed to process. All other message are proxied, or dropped (if so specified).
