Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems ( 1 ) for exchanging messages ( 10 - 13,40 - 55 ) between customer devices ( 2 ) such as customer premises equipment and servers ( 3 ) such as auto configuration servers at several layers comprising a first layer such as a hyper text transfer protocol layer and a second layer such as a simple object access protocol layer are made compliant to web services toolkits by, at the second layer, allowing the customer device ( 2 ) to be a requesting party only and the server ( 3 ) to be a responding party only, for so-called server method applications as well as for so-called customer device method applications. At the second layer, the server ( 3 ) is never a requesting party and the customer device ( 2 ) is never a responding party. As a result, the development of management appliances no longer needs to be done manually and the system ( 1 ) according to the invention can be used in combination with firewalls.
