GVP8 Grammar Error

Hi all,

I seem to be having problems with a DTMF grammar definition, basically it is to accept dtmf input of 6 to 15 digits, using any digit from 0-9. However, MCP reports the error:

2012-06-27T18:40:12.759 Trc 40013 INFO 010800FE-1001EF81 1462426496 0C0003F5 Error starting DTMF Recognizer due to GRAMMAR_DEFINE_ERROR in grammar 0; throwing error back to interpreter

The grammar file contains the following:

?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>

<rule id="fixed">
   <tag>out = "";</tag>
   <one-of>
        <item>
            <item repeat="6-15">
                <ruleref uri="#digit"/>                
                <tag>out += meta.latest().text;</tag>
            </item>
        </item>
    </one-of>
</rule>

<rule id="digit">
   <one-of>
		<item>1</item>
		<item>2</item>
		<item>3</item>
		<item>4</item>
		<item>5</item>
		<item>6</item>
		<item>7</item>
		<item>8</item>
		<item>9</item>
		<item>0</item>
   </one-of>
</rule>

I have checked this with the W3C http://www.w3.org/TR/semantic-interpretation/ and cannot see any problems with the above. Can anyone see something wrong with the above?

Also, can anyone recommend any good quality reference books/tutorials for writing both DTMF/ASR GRXML grammars?

Thanks,
Lee

Not sure this is the cause of your issue, but this is what I’ve found in Genesys VXML help, among known issues/recommendations:

==
Application developers should either make sure they explicitly specify the grammar type (for example, “application/grammar+xml”) using the type attribute, or configure their application servers to return the correct MIME types for grammar files. Otherwise, GVP will consider the grammar to be invalid.

Although everything appeared to be configured correctly with grammars, MIME types and all other attributes (I had other grammars of the same format that worked), I wasn’t able to resolve this. In the end, I changed the application to use an existing grammar that matched the profile I needed.

If the infomation you posted above is an exact copy of the file, you are missing the leading “<” in the xml statement at the top of the file.
