1. A computer implemented method for converging hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and session initiation protocol (SIP) communications in a network environment, said method comprising:

  • deploying an application on a server, wherein said application includes both an HTTP servlet and a SIP servlet;

    establishing an HTTP session for a first client on said server;

    establishing a SIP session for a second client on said server;

    generating a single unified session object in memory for the application on said server, wherein the unified session object shares data between the HTTP session and the SIP session, and wherein both the HTTP session and the SIP session are accessible programmatically via the single unified session object; and

    wherein said data is shared between the HTTP session and the SIP session by way of the unified session object; and

    wherein the server includes a single unified application programming interface (API) accessible by both said SIP servlet and said HTTP servlet, wherein said API includes a method for creating a new HTTP session from within the SIP servlet;

    receiving a call identifier from the second client that is in communication with the SIP servlet, wherein the call identifier is used to access the unified session object; and

    receiving, directly from the SIP servlet, an invocation of the method for creating the new HTTP session on said unified API, wherein the server instantiates the new HTTP session in response to the invocation of the method on said unified API by the SIP servlet.
