An advanced intelligent network according to the present invention can include a service logic execution environment (SLEE). The SLEE can include an event handler for routing messages between and among client components and service components. The advanced intelligent network further can include at least one service component configured to post and receive messages to and from other service components in the SLEE through the event handler. At least one Internet enabled service component (IESC) executing in the SLEE also can be included. The IESC can be configured to post and receive messages to and from other service components in SLEE through the event handler. The IESC can be communicatively linked to a server side program external to the SLEE.
