Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Unable to create the extension "exten => 1300, 1, Agi(agi://localhost/hello.agi)"

[T. L. P. T. <tom...@gm...>]

Hello Satya:
 Yes, you can integrate Asterisk-Java and FreePBX without any dirty work around.
 Let's see how this could be achieved.

 The first thing you should know about FreePBX configuration files is
that any modules that generates any configuration files, usually use
the name <configuration file>_additional.conf. Normally, a base
configuration file will include this FreePBX generated file. For
example, the base extensions.conf file that comes with FreePBX
includes (among others) the files extensions_additional.conf.
 It doesn't make any sense to modify extensions_additional.conf,
because the next time that changes are applied from the interface,
this file will be regenerated; dropping any changes done by hand.
Also, the base config file (in this case, extensions.conf) shouldn't
be edited. There is a better way to integrate your self developed
contexts, extensions and priorities.
 Most of the base config files of FreePBX include a file named
<configuration file>_custom.conf. In this case, you should edit
extensions_custom.conf and add your custom context.
 For example:

[custom-myAsteriskJavaApp]
exten => 1300,1,Agi(agi://localhost/hello.agi)

 Now, if you run an "extensions reload" command from the CLI, a new
context will be available. We are going to use this context to
integrate Asterisk-Java.

 To attach an inbound route to your Asterisk-Java application, you
will need to create a new Inbound route and select "Custom App" in the
"Set Destination" combo box. By using "Custom App", any incoming call
that matches this inbound route will be delivered to a context (which
must start with the "custom-" prefix) available to Asterisk. Copy the
name of this new context, the extension and the priority
(custom-myAsteriskJavaApp,1300,1) to the input box. Submit the changes
and apply the changes to Asterisk.

 You can now test an incoming call to the DID 1300 and have fun with
Asterisk-Java.

 Your mileage may vary but you should be able to have this example
working with little modifications. Let us know if you have any
problem.

Best regards, Tomás.

[Asterisk-java-users] Unable to create the extension "exten => 1300, 1, Agi(agi://localhost/hello.agi)"

[Satya P. <sat...@dh...>]

Hi

I'm a new user with Asterisk & Asterisk-Java
I installed Asterisk using PBX in a FLASH, which is a bundle of Asterisk 
1.4, FreePBX 2.4 and Cent OS
I'm able to create trunk/inbound route/extension easily using the 
FreePBX GUI, it works great with a soft phone

Now I want to intercept the inbound call, so I'm trying to use 
Asterisk-Java (release from 4/9/08). I followed the example but stumbled 
on creating an extension as suggested. Since I used FreePBX it generates 
the extensions.conf files, so I cannot edit that. Of course I tried to 
edit that file to add "exten => 1300,1,Agi(agi://localhost/hello.agi)", 
but that didn't work. It doesn't show up on FreePBX GUI, so I cannot 
attach that to inbound route.

If I use FreePBX, can't I setup Asterisk-Java? Is there a work around?
I appreciate any help with this

Thanks
Satya

[T. L. P. T. <tom...@gm...>]

Hello Gopal:
 Can you please send us the output of your application? This would be really
helpful (along with the Asterisk and Asterisk-Java versions that you are
using) to debug your problem and try to find a solution.
 Thank you.

Hi,
you can use those methods, of course .. I understood that you have a

Re: [Asterisk-java-users] retrieve meetme room number

[Darko D. <dar...@ce...>]

Hello,
I did not find any other way but to issue "show channels" command and
then to parse result in order to find channel of the particular user.
Once it is found you can issue "show channel" command as to get channel
details - meet me extension will be displayed at the 'extension'
property. It will be the best to try it first from the CLI ...

I hope it helped :)

[Asterisk-java-users] OS Command

[Diboula G. <gre...@gm...>]

Hi,

Stefan: Thanks for the neat work.

I've been playing around with asterisk-java for a while. One think that I wanted to do is to send an OS command to asterisk and have it executed.

Normally, when being in the asterisk CLI, prefixing a command with an exclamation mark (!) would make asterisk send the command to the operating system and have it executed.

I have been trying to send commands (prefixed with !) via Asterisk-java to asterisk but haven't got much success.

I was trying for instance to move the monitor output (conversation records) to another sever (using rcp). 

Any idea if I'm doing something wrong?

thanks,

Gregoire L'ivrogne.

Indeed I think some minor refactoring is the best option. In fact  
that's what I initially did but I later reworked this to keep a  
minimal patch against trunk.
The AsteriskServerImpl class should of course maintain the old  
behavior, hence my idea to move common code in an abstract superclass  
than requires a connection object, and then handle connection creation/ 
initialization specifics in the subclasses.

Lol, checkinitialize() was exactly the name I used but once again I  
renamed it and wrapped it in InitializeifNeeded to reduce the patch  
size ;)
However it should not throw an exception when called from  
addAsteriskServerListener, or, at least, addAsteriskServerListener  
should catch it in the service oriented implementation.
The AsteriskServer interface should however still declare it throws an  
MCE but we'll know that it won't happen with the service oriented  
implementation.

And that's really great for starters. We must keep the old behaviour.
Another problem is that automatically starting the connection before  
adding the listener could also cause lost events (ie my "server  
initialized" event).

In the demo patch I attached, I now start a background thread  whose  
aim is to try and force the first connection in a loop (and swallow  
MCE exception for that purpose).

If you're interested in this kind of patch I can try and write it.  
This should be fairly easy.

Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Gnudialer and asterisk-java, new event types

[Stefan R. <ste...@re...>]

Thanks for reporting your success.

You can register the event even before logging in, so you receive the
events right from the beginning, e.g.

connection.registerUserEventClass(CRM_DispoRecordEvent.class);
connection.login();

Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Gnudialer and asterisk-java, new event types

[Maciek T. <mlo...@gm...>]

Hi,
Stefan thanks for the advice. I've implemented a CRM_DispoRecord and
registered it. And now I'm able to handle this event. 

I've done this in this way:

--- CRM_DispoRecordEvent.java file

public class CRM_DispoRecordEvent extends ManagerEvent{
/**
* class body definition
*/
}


--- Main application file

//....
  connection = factory.createManagerConnection();
  
   try {
            connection.login();
            connection.registerUserEventClass(CRM_DispoRecordEvent.class);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
//....

Most important thing was to extend ManagerEvent not UserEvent class in
CRM_DispoRecordEvent.


Regards, Maciek

Hi,

though the registerUserEvent method in ManagerConnection is intended
primarily for user events you can also use it to register "normal"
events. The approach is to implement a class for the CRM_DispoRecord
event and register it. Just have a look at the other events to see how
to do that.
There is no need to recompile or modify the Asterisk-Java jar to add new
events.

Re: [Asterisk-java-users] AsteriskServer as a service / in a spring context ?

I think we can fix this by some refactoring and provide an
implementation that initializes automatically and one that throws MCE or
IllegalStateException when a method is called that requires a connection
and it is not yet initialized.

A simple solution might be to replace to calls to initializeIfNeeded()
by calls to a new protected method called checkInitialize() of similar,
that can be overridden by subclasses and either throw an exception or
perform the initialization if its not yet initialized.

> Is there a good reason to call initializeIfNeeded()  in the

The idea behind this that if you register a listener and the object has
not yet been initialized you won't receive any events. In fact the
public initialize() method was only added later on, originally
AsteriskServer was meant to work out of the box with as few lines of
code as possible. - Maybe it's a bit too smart now :-)

This is a bit harder. Usually I prefer things to fail early so you
notice if you put in the wrong hostname or credentials. I understand
that there are situations where this is not the required behavior. As
you point out preventing the application from deploying due to Asterisk
maintainance is not acceptable.
To solve this issue we may have to add a feature to force a
ManagerConnection to keep connecting. This won't probably look much
different from the RECONNECTING hack, except for that it's hidden :-)

How should we proceed?

[Asterisk-java-users] Gnudialer and asterisk-java, new event types

[Maciek T. <mlo...@gm...>]

Hey all,
I'm using gnudialer which defines event named ManagerEvent in Asterisk
Manager Interface (there is patch to manager.c file-
http://dynx.net/ASTERISK/gnudialer/manager.c.both-patches.txt).
Currently I'm developing some application that monitors events form * and
there is some problem, because when ManagerEvent reaches my application on
Std.err I've got: 
----
008-04-05 18:44:00 org.asteriskjava.manager.internal.EventBuilderImpl
buildEvent
INFO: No event class registered for event type 'crm_disporecord',
attributes: {body=Agent: 300|Dispo: 4|Transfer: TRANSFER|Campaign:
test5|Leadid: 185|Channel: Local/693595766@gd-out-9f42,1,
event=CRM_DispoRecord, privilege=user,all}
----
My question is: how to define new Asterisk event type (this is _not_ user
event) without recompiling asterisk-java code? Is there any way to do this.
I know there is registerEventClass method in ManagerReaderImpl class. How to
use it?

Regards, Maciek

[Asterisk-java-users] AsteriskServer as a service / in a spring context ?

[Gaëtan M. <gm...@ea...>]

Hi Stefan

We are using the AsteriskServerImpl class inside a spring application.  
We however faced some problems as the stock AsteriskServerImpl seemed  
no so spring-friendly.

The main problems I faced are the following:

1/ There is no "start" method on the server. Instead it starts  "on  
demand" when sending the first action, or worst, when one adds a  
listener on it.
That means that the server automatically tries to start "too early"  
when spring wires the listener into it.

Is there a good reason to call initializeIfNeeded()  in the  
addAsteriskServerListener() method (and as a consequence have it  
potentially throw a MCE) ?

2/ If that very first connection fails in "initializeIfNeeded", then  
the method throws an MCE that escalades to the  
addAsteriskServerListener method and eventually reaches the spring  
context factory. As a result, the server is down and won't start again  
until we try to send something. Moreover as the exception was thrown  
before the actual listeners.add() call, our listener is eventually not  
added.
So the application completely fails to start in spring if it can't  
reach asterisk while starting.

NB: However if later asterisk is stopped, everything is fine as the  
connection handles the reconnection automatically. So I originally  
worked around this using a patched ConnectionImpl that simply started  
in the fake "RECONNECTING" state :)



I recently tried to clean all these modifications to ease my weekly  
merge against your trunk revision.
Here is a patch against head as of today. This is clearly not a  
request for inclusion but just meant to illustrate how I worked around  
the problem.
Indeed it is really not correct regarding object programing patterns  
but only meant to be small and not intrusive so you can easily see  
what I'm trying to implement.
If you think that kind of functionality is interesting, maybe I could  
write some cleaner code and submit it ?

In that event, I'd like to have your idea on the subject before I  
start. I personally think common functionality should then be moved to  
an abstract AbstractAsterikServerImpl class, with the child  
AsteriskServerImpl class maintaining the same behavior and semantic as  
the current one, and another one implementing the other "service- 
oriented" approach.

What do you think ?


Kind regards
Thanks for your great work.

Thanks for this pointer.
The AgiRequest is only populated when the AgiScript is started with the
data received from Asterisk.
The implications are interesting for the new AsyncAGI stuff where
AgiCommands are converted to Manager actions that include the channel
name. So I guess I have to watch for RenameEvents there and update my
AgiWriter in to use the new channel name.

Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Agi scripts and native transfers

[E. M. <mar...@gm...>]

Finally I can test it. If it is useful for someone, AGI works OK with
attended transfers. However, if thereis an attended transfer inside an agi
script, AGIChannel.getName() returns the 'old' channel name, and
AGIChannel.getVariable("CHANNEL") returns the updated name.


In example, figure two phones: SIP/101 and SIP/102 and this code for an AGI
script in extension 123:

////////////////////////////////////////
package test;

import org.asteriskjava.fastagi.*;

public class HelloAgiScript extends BaseAgiScript{
    public void service(AgiRequest request, AgiChannel channel) throws
AgiException  {
      answer();
      while(true){
        streamFile("tt-monkeys");
        System.out.println("Original: "+channel.getName());
        System.out.println("New channel: "+channel.getVariable("CHANNEL"));
      }
    }
//////////////////////////////////////////

If SIP/102 does an attended transfer of SIP/101 to this extension, the
output of the program is:
Original: SIP/102-xxxxx
New channel: SIP/101-xxxxx
Original: SIP/102-xxxxx
New channel: SIP/101-xxxxx
Original: SIP/102-xxxxx
New channel: SIP/101-xxxxx

Re: [Asterisk-java-users] (no subject)

[T. L. P. T. <tom...@gm...>]

Hello Sergey:
 In my opinion, if you can get a development box with an Asterisk server
already configured to use with Asterisk Java, and you could receive some
help from an Asterisk wizard to debug the low level problems that could
arise; you could be writing a simple IVR application in less than a week.
 If you ask me for a estimation, develop an application with all the
features described in your mail, should take you 3 to 5 weeks. It's a good
idea to have in mind that you could find some weird problems that could take
some time (even some days sometimes) to resolve. Obviously, this estimation
is based on my work style (using Maven, JUnit, SVN, deploying, etc.). It
could be lower, maybe.

 Where to start? I suggest you to start with the Asterisk Java Tutorial,
then expand your application from there. Whenever you find a problem, or
need a suggestion; we are here ;-)

Best regards, Tomás.

Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Getting Started

[Stefan R. <ste...@re...>]

Sergey,

if we have the same understanding of "experienced" they can be up and
running in a few hours.
The Asterisk guy will setup an Asterisk server and prepare the dialplan
for Fast AGI while the Java guy will set up a basic a basic Java project
and look at the AGI tutorial.
Then they come together and make sure the "Hello World" example works
and they are up and running.

[Sergey S. <sam...@gm...>]

Hello, people!

In your opinion, how long could it take for a guy to learn *-java and
what-needed-else to become capable of writing a basic IVR application,
provided that the guy
- is an experienced java developer
- has ZERO knoledge of Asterisk
- has marginal experience in VoIP (setting up dial plans in cisco routers)
- can receive some help from the experienced * admin.

The IVR app involves receiving and originating calls, playing sound
files, collecting dtmf digits and connecting the calling/called
parties together.

Is it possible in 2, max 3 weeks? Where to start?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Automatically start a pingthread when socket read timeout is set

[Gaëtan M. <gm...@ea...>]

Hi Stefan

As usual, sorry for the delay :)

Here is a tiny patch that starts a pingthread when an AsteriskServer  
is given a ManagerConnection whose socketReadTimeout>0 and stop it at  
shutdown();
However I don't really like it as it seems a bit misplaced and  
orthogonal to me. Maybe it whould be better to hide this in  
DefaultAsteriskServer ? But then people working directly with  
AsteriskServerImpl like me wouldn't even use it.

Or what about a ManagerConnection subclass / implementation? After  
all, this is just another interface implementation and the asterisk  
server needn't know about this PingThread thing.

Regards

Gaetan
