Thread: [Asterisk-java-devel] Integrating live AsteriskServer with Apache Tomcat

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Dear experts,

If I want to integrate a live AsteriskServer with Apache Tomcat. Should 
I start the live server in a separate thread like with the AGI one?

Thank you.
Hoai-Anh

Since asterisk Ami works best with one app talking to it (though this
has recently been remedied somewhat I'm told). I create a connection
on the init of one of the servlets and use static methods.  This has a
few benefits in that ensures only one connection is made to asterisk
and that connection is maintained for the life of the servlet.

So far that's worked for me. I'd be interested to see what others on
this list are doing, but you might want to start there.

I've tested. It seems to be no need to wrap the DefaultAsteriskServer in 
an extra thread.

I've defined a DefaultAsteriskServer as a Spring bean as

...
    <bean id="defaultAsteriskServer" 
class="org.asteriskjava.live.DefaultAsteriskServer" 
init-method="initialize" destroy-method="shutdown">
        <constructor-arg index="0" value="localhost" />
        <constructor-arg index="1" value="5038" />
        <constructor-arg index="2" value="amiuser" />
        <constructor-arg index="3" value="amipwd" />
    </bean>
...

When I start Apache Tomcat with Spring ContextLoaderListener. An 
instance of DefaultAsteriskServer with an established ami connection is 
created and Tomcat does not hang.

Since Spring container create the DefaultAsteriskServer as a singleton 
by default multiple connection to Asterisk is also avoided.

Hi,

Some one has a tutorial (step by step) to implement this (for tomcat)? I 
got one but I could not figure out what was wrong with my install.

It will serve for AGI as well?
