asterisk-java-users — Asterisk-Java User List

RE: [Asterisk-java-users] Newbie problem getting started with HelloAGIScript

[Darren H. <dha...@gh...>]

Hi Liam,
I would recommend getting an IDE if you plan on working in Java for a
while ;-)
=20
Eclipse & NetBeans are full-featured free ones, while simple free ones
like BlueJ also work.
=20
For commandline, try 'javac HelloAGIScript.java -classpath
asterisk-java.jar'
=20
Hope that helps get you started! =20
=20
p.s. I use Eclipse as my IDE, and you'll find errors like 'unable to
find package' can be identified quickly as Eclipse does on-the-fly
compilation of your code to more readily identify problems.

[Asterisk-java-users] Newbie problem getting started with HelloAGIScript

[Liam O'H. <lia...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Firstly, apologies for the very basic nature of this question. Although a
developer of many years, my exposure to Java has been extremely limited. I
have many years IVR experience and I have been using Asterisk at home for
the last year. As such, if I can be helped over this initial hurdle I
believe I'll be able to stand on my own.


I have Sun's j2sdk1.4.2_09 on Centos 4 and am having difficulties getting
HelloAGIScript compiled.

After much Googling I discovered that I needed to set my CLASSPATH. I set i=
t
to the java bin path and the directory containing asterisk-java.jar. This
reduced the number of errors but I am unable to get beyond the next problem=
.

As per the tutorial I changed AbstractAGIScript to BaseAGIScript (
HelloAGIScript.java attached at end of post).

The compile command in the tutorial is "javac -cp asterisk-java.jar
HelloAGIScript.java" but, from my reading of the javac documentation at
java.sun.com the -c and -p options don't appear to be valid options.

The compile command I'm using is "javac -sourcepath asterisk-java.jar
HelloAGIScript.java" and I'm getting the following errors:

HelloAGIScript.java:12: answer() in
net.sf.asterisk.fastagi.BaseAGIScriptcannot be applied to (
net.sf.asterisk.fastagi.AGIChannel)
        answer(channel);
        ^
HelloAGIScript.java:15: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : method streamFile (net.sf.asterisk.fastagi.AGIChannel,
java.lang.String)
location: class HelloAGIScript
        streamFile(channel, "welcome");
        ^
HelloAGIScript.java:18: hangup() in
net.sf.asterisk.fastagi.BaseAGIScriptcannot be applied to (
net.sf.asterisk.fastagi.AGIChannel)
        hangup(channel);


I do realise that this is more of a Java beginner's question than an
Asterisk-Java question so I'd be most grateful for any assistance. Any and
all suggestions and/or URLs would be great.


Regards,

Liam





HelloAGIScript.java
----------------------------
import net.sf.asterisk.fastagi.AGIChannel;
import net.sf.asterisk.fastagi.AGIException;
import net.sf.asterisk.fastagi.AGIRequest;

public class HelloAGIScript extends BaseAGIScript

    public void service(AGIRequest request, AGIChannel channel)
            throws AGIException
    {
        // Answer the channel...
        answer(channel);

        // ...say hello...
        streamFile(channel, "welcome");

RE: [Asterisk-java-users] Problem with some commands and manager

[Jason W. <jas...@be...>]

Maria,

If you truly want to use Manager only, then you should probably set
variables in the extension and then send a getvar action from manager api
when there is an extension event that sets the variable.

  Yes, but I want to know how can I know from Manager-Java ( not Fast AGI) ,
from Java code, what System returned after excuting in the dial plan.

Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Problem with some commands and manager

[Brett S. <bs...@no...>]

I've actually combined the manager api and fast agi in a single=20
application to determine return codes.

The manager api  originates a call which makes a fast agi call back to=20
the application. The application then executes the application and=20
returns the results back to the manager api.
Works like a treat.
If you download the AsterFax source (asterfax.sourceforge.net) and have=20
a look at SubmitFax.java and CallTxFax. The code is still a bit rough=20
but it will give you the general idea. You will also need to look at=20
AgiMappingStragegy and AsterFax.java to see how I've got the fast agi=20
stuff all hanging together in a single application.

Brett.

	I did a couple of things to make sure I was making the most of

	1. Use a program like Ethereal to sniff packets being recieved
by your server running Manager. This way you see exactly what you're
getting. You can filter to only show packets from the asterisk machine,
and then you can do a test of the situation that you want to capture and
see if asterisk is telling you what you need.
	2. Look into 'user defined events'
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+UserEvent
	3. grep on the entire asterisk directory for the currently
generated events, I'm sure what your looking for would be in in
channel.c if it exists, or trust the list at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/asterisk+manager+events
	4. if you look at the source for asterisk, you'll see that it's
not hard to add events right in the source code and recompile if it's
mission critical.
	5. as well, Stefan did a great job of laying out Asterisk-java,
so you could download the source and add a class for your handler if you
create one.

	backup and divide the problem into smaller steps...=20

	1. Are you able to use the dial() applicaiton successfully in
the extensions.conf file? if so move to step 2

	2. don't dial directly into an app if it's not necessary... dial
into an extension, then execute the app, this way Asterisk creates the
default CDR's.

	3. start asterisk with 'asterisk -cvvvvvvvvvv' (10 v's or so)
then check out what it's reporting when you run the java app.

	4. check out the asterisk log files.

check the app_system.c file, but off the top of my head, I think it returns
whatever the system call returns, i.e. if you do fileexists, it returns

  2006/2/21, Jason Wolfe <jas...@be...>:
    Using festival in that way is a bad idea because a keypress will
interrupt the stream. As well, you have no way of knowing if it worked.

    I'd use system to call festival to write a wav file, then use system to
verify that the file was created, maybe even checking file size, then use
background to play it back.

Playback(....) command but I don't know how to get from the Java code if it

Using festival in that way is a bad idea because a keypress will interrupt
the stream. As well, you have no way of knowing if it worked.

I'd use system to call festival to write a wav file, then use system to
verify that the file was created, maybe even checking file size, then use
background to play it back.

[Asterisk-java-users] OriginateActionsetVariables() and CommandAction.setCommand(meetme list)

[g f <gf...@gm...>]

Hello all,
I have a question.
In my application I send people to Conference rooms.
I can then monitor the rooms by calling the CommandAction.setCommand("meetm=
e
list 8200");

Problem I am having is that when I join the users via OriginateAction  I ge=
t
the following output when I call the meetme list 8200 command:
This is before anyone is in the room (dont know why I get this, see my
previous post)
User #: 01    <unknown> sip/202              Channel: SIP/202-6b5f
(unmonitored)
1 users in that conference.

This is after I join someone to the conference (they are in by themselves)

User #: 01    <unknown> sip/202              Channel: SIP/202-6b5f
(unmonitored)
User #: 02    <unknown> John Smith         Channel: SIP/202-e588
(unmonitored)
2 users in that conference.

This is the output if I dial from the phone to 8200 (omitting my
application)

User #: 01    <unknown> sip/202              Channel: SIP/202-6b5f
(unmonitored)
User #: 02    202 John Smith         Channel: SIP/202-e588    (unmonitored)
2 users in that conference.

So in my code that is returned from meetme list 8200 I search for <unknown>
and if it contains this string I disregard.
And then I grab the next string and parse it to return the User Name (in
this case : John Smith)as long as it does not contain String <unknown>.

As you can see, if the conferences are made through my app, all strings
returned from meetme list 8200 are omitted (this displays no users in
conference) cus they all contain a string <unknown>

From what I understand this Variable with the value of <unknown> is called
AMPUSER.

So in my OriginateAction I try to do:
    Map map;
    map =3D new LinkedHashMap();
    map.put("AMPUSER","ZZZ");

    oAction =3D new OriginateAction();
    oAction.setVariables(map);

Still I get <unknown>
Is it possible to set this  to something other than <unknown>   ?
Perhaps I am going about this wrong?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
TIA!!!

[Asterisk-java-users] Determine what users are in a specific conference

[g f <gf...@gm...>]

Hello all,
I am trying to use *-Java to determine who is in each conference.
Similar to the "meetme" command but with more detail.
Any ideas?
TIA!

[Asterisk-java-users] Re: Determine what users are in a specific conference

[g f <gf...@gm...>]

I figured it out using CommandAction but I still have a problem:

public void getConferencees(String confNum)throws IOException,
AuthenticationFailedException,
        TimeoutException
    {
        ManagerResponse mResponse;
        CommandAction commandAction =3D new CommandAction();
        commandAction.setCommand("meetme list 8200");
        if(!managerConnection.isConnected())
        {
            managerConnection.login();
        }
        mResponse =3D managerConnection.sendAction(commandAction,30000);
        managerConnection.logoff();
        CommandResponse response =3D (CommandResponse)mResponse;
        List list =3D response.getResult();
            for (Iterator it =3D list.iterator(); it.hasNext ();)
            {
                String s =3D (String) it.next();
                System.out.println("STRING=3D"+s);
            }
    }

I get the following output on System.out:
STRING=3DUser #: 03          202 device               Channel: SIP/202-7924
(Admin)   (unmonitored)INFO: Connected via Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
STRING=3DUser #: 05          202 Graham F             Channel: SIP/202-d58a
(unmonitored)Feb 16, 2006 2:29:10 PM
net.sf.asterisk.util.impl.JavaLoggingLog info
STRING=3D2 users in that conference.

Now I can parse these strings to get the User name , but I was wondering if
there was an easier way to return just the user name?

TIA!

[Asterisk-java-users] Switchboard application problems

[<mt...@st...>]

Hi!
  My task is to write "switchboard" application for Asterisk. The
user must be able to answer an incoming call
from "outside" and then divert it to proper extension. As I am a 
completly newbie to Asterisk
I have several problems with it (I know it's quite a long list and some 
of them might be dumb questions, so
please be merciful :-) - I really didn't find out how to do it).
1) I need to get a list of all connected phones(we use SIP and
IAX2 phones) and their states
2) The same thing but with ZAP channels
3) Is it possible to bind a new created object of Channel with
some (IAX2 or SIP) peer?
4) Our Asterisk admin did a configuration with Asterisk Management 
Portal. I noticed that structure of database is different from the 
structure mention on 
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+database.
Is it possible to get a cidname of Extension without using database? If 
not, where can I find how is database structured?

Thanks for any help!

RE: [Asterisk-java-users] originate call without picking up the fone?!

[Jason W. <jas...@be...>]

OriginateAction has a precise definition and an exact function.  I don't
know how you are defining 'initiated', but I want to be helpful so I am
trying to clarify.  Ringing is a line 'state', 'user picks up the phone'
(called answered) is another, completely different state. sending an
originate action (a data structure) has nothing to do with the line state.
For your program to know the line state after an originate action is parsed
by asterisk you will need to parse an event objects that contains the line
state. You may be able to send a 'status' action that will cause a status
event, and parse this event to find the channel state and do something with
that info.

I hope you are finding this helpful.

AFAIK the call isnt initiated before the fone rings and the user

OriginateAction?!

RE: [Asterisk-java-users] originate call without picking up the fone?!

[Jason W. <jas...@be...>]

In my testing, when I send an originate action, asterisk returns a
response=error immediately when the line is busy and a response=success as
soon as it starts riging.  I think, from what you're saying, that your best
solution is to originate the first call, and if response=success, you can
originate a second call, and then put them both into a conference room on
answer. (put them into a conference room using extensions, not java actions)

also, the consise list of java actions is listed at:
http://asterisk-java.sourceforge.net/apidocs/index.html

Check out my earlier post about using Ethereal to view what communication is
happening at the TCP/IP level....

John,

I did a couple of things to make sure I was making the most of events... You
might find it useful to try the following...

1. Use a program like Ethereal to sniff packets being recieved by your
server running Manager. This way you see exactly what you're getting. You
can filter to only show packets from the asterisk machine, and then you can
do a test of the situation that you want to capture and see if asterisk is
telling you what you need.
2. Look into 'user defined events'
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+UserEvent
3. grep on the entire asterisk directory for the currently generated events,
I'm sure what your looking for would be in in channel.c if it exists, or
trust the list at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/asterisk+manager+events
4. if you look at the source for asterisk, you'll see that it's not hard to
add events right in the source code and recompile if it's mission critical.
5. as well, Stefan did a great job of laying out Asterisk-java, so you could
download the source and add a class for your handler if you create one.

Hope this helps.
Jason

we are using the asterisk java 2.0 API and the "OriginateAction" Class to
establish the call. I have to admit i am not the programmer but posting here
on his behalf so i dont understand all the jave API centric concepts fully.

Simple Question: Is is possible to solve the problem with existing
java-classes or do we need to get down to protocol level and issue
actions ourselves?!

We want either this or connect to the enduser when the "other side" is
"ringing" and not "busy". We only want the user to pickup the fone if
the other side is available or picking up.

cheers,

   Arnd
