javax.sip.header
Interface RouteHeader

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Header, HeaderAddress, Parameters, java.io.Serializable

public interface RouteHeader

extends HeaderAddress, Parameters, Header

The Route header field is used to force routing for a request through the listed set of proxies. Each host removes the first entry and then proxies the Request to the host listed in that entry using it as the RequestURI.

Explicit Route assignment (if needed) for the initial dialog establishment is the applications responsibility, but once established Routes are maintained by the dialog layer and should not be manupulated by the application. For example the SipProvider queries the dialog for Route assignment and adds these to the outgoing message as needed. The Router may be used by the application to determine the initial Route of the message.
