I was mainly working on the FastAGI implementation for the last time, so
it "shouldn't" break your Manager API stuff.

Your class must be named ASGHoldEvent just the name of the event you
will send with the appendix Event.

The newer code base includes a method called
registerUserEventClass(Class userEventClass) in the ManagerConnection
interface so you would just call

managerConnection.registerUserEventClass(ASGHoldEvent.class);

If you are unable to upgrade right now and don't mind to change
Asterisk-java's internal code you can also add your event to the
EventBuilder (this is either net.sf.asterisk.manager.EventBuilder or in
newer versions net.sf.asterisk.manager.impl.EventBuilderImpl).
There is a private method called registerBuiltinEventClasses() where you
can add a

registerEventClass(ASGHoldEvent.class);

Hope that helps

[Asterisk-java-users] UserEvents

[Chris H. <ch...@as...>]

I'm currently working with an older version of Asterisk Java (plan on 
updating soon but I don't have time for regression test). I have a need for 
a user defined event but the UserEvent class was not included in the 
version I was working with.  I pull the user event class from the latest cvs 
and added it.  Created my own user event

public class UserEventASGHold extends UserEvent
{
  private String callerId;
   public UserEventASGHold(Object source)
   {
     super(source);
   }

   public String getCallerId()
   {
     return callerId;
   }

   public void setCallerId(String callerId)
   {
     this.callerId = callerId;
   }
 }

I call the event via:
exten => _0262,10,UserEvent(ASGHold|callerId: ${CALLERIDNUM})

Now I get the warning:

WARNING: No event class registered for event type 'usereventasghold', 
attributes: {callerid=0262, uniqueid=1110900347.498, event=UserEventASGHold, 
channel=Zap/38-1}

How do I register the event?  Is this because I'm using a old version of the 
core code?

Thanks,
Chris

I think I just answered my own question again. 'A' is the correct
solution, only instead of overloading handleEvent in
ManagerEventHandler, I should overload it in my implementation. That is:

mc.addEventHandler(new ManagerEventHandler() {
    public void handleEvent(ManagerEvent event) {
        //do nothing yet
    }
    public void handleEvent(NewChannelEvent event) {
        //DEBUG
        System.out.println("Caller ID =3D " + event.getCallerId());
    }
});

I think I should just stop asking questions and wait until I answer them
myself. :)

[Asterisk-java-users] event handler question

[Alex M. <al...@go...>]

I was hoping you could clarify something for me. I haven't done much
heavy work with events in Java, so I'm not sure if I'm understanding
this correctly.=20

1) ManagerEventHandler.handleEvent() deals with ManagerEvents.=20
2) ManagerEvent has a number of subclasses such as ChannelEvent,
CdrEvent, etc.
3) Therefore, handleEvent(ChannelEvent event) should work since
ChannelEvent extends ManagerEvent.

Yet, it doesn't. So that leaves two possible solutions:

A) Overload handleEvent() in ManagerEventHandler to handle each of the
various types of ManagerEvents
B) Do an instanceof on every received ManagerEvent to see what it is

Now, I'm sure that A & B are both quite wrong. Then again, I'm also
pretty sure that 3 is quite right. So what am I missing here?

Yes, thats in fact the best solution.
AsteriskManager just acts as a higher level wrapper around a
ManagerConnection.

Note: The AsteriskManager stuff is not yet that well engineered as the
lower level interface using ManagerConnection, so if you encounter any
obstacles feel free to call for improvement. Especially there is
currently no way to register listeners for higher level events (like a
new channel being created).

I think I may have already found my answer after reading a bit more. I
can create a DefaultAsteriskManager and then use setManagerConnection to
have it use my existing ManagerConnection. This looks like it will do
what I need.

[Asterisk-java-users] AsteriskManager

[Alex M. <al...@go...>]

Is there any way to get a concrete implementation of AsteriskManager
currently (preferably that uses a pre-existing ManagerConnection for
connection information)?

What I need to do is get a list of channels and map them to my list of
Employee objects so that I can add channel event listeners and have each
Employee be self-updating rather than monitoring the ManagerConnection
for events that relate to a particular user. Is this possible or will it
be possible at some point?

Source is attached. In its current form it will fail with the null

it works just fine.

just an idea:
this NullPointerException can happen when you are not yet connected to
the asterisk server.
Make sure you called login() on the DefaultManagerConnection.

[Asterisk-java-users] DefaultManagerConnection constructor problems

[Alex M. <al...@go...>]

There seems to be a problem with the constructor for the
DefaultManagerConnection class. I've done as much debugging as I could
on my end, and it seems to be a thread synchronization problem
somewhere. Here's the exception that gets thrown:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at net.sf.asterisk.manager.DefaultManagerConnection.sendAction(DefaultMana=
gerConnection.java:380)
	at net.sf.asterisk.manager.DefaultManagerConnection.sendAction(DefaultMana=
gerConnection.java:328)
	at net.sf.asterisk.manager.DefaultManagerConnection.sendAction(DefaultMana=
gerConnection.java:316)
	at TestingAsterisk.testLogin(TestingAsterisk.java:64)
	at TestingAsterisk.<init>(TestingAsterisk.java:18)
	at TestingAsterisk.main(TestingAsterisk.java:86)

TestingAsterisk is my test program. It is an exact copy of
TestDefaultManagerConnection with a constructor and main() added. The
problem occurs when trying to create a connection using something other
than the default constructor with appropriate setter methods. Here's the
exact code:

	dmc =3D new DefaultManagerConnection();
	dmc.setUsername("user");
	dmc.setPassword("password");
	dmc.setHostname("hostname");

Doing this works just fine. Program executes, events come back, etc.
However, if I try using this instead:

	dmc =3D new DefaultManagerConnection("hostname", 5038, "user",
"password");

I've tested this about 5 times so far and I get consistent results each
time. Just in case it matters, I'm using Eclipse 2.1 on a Linux system
with the 1.5 JDK. Any ideas?

You can have a look at TestDefaultManagerConnection in src/test that
class just connects to asterisk, registers itself as ManagerEventHandler
and prints all received events to System.out.

No problem - that increases the chance i put more effort into providing

I have started a simple test program just to see if I can get a
connection going. It isn't working yet, but I hope that it won't take
long. Once I get it done I'd be glad to put it into a tutorial form and
submit it.

I will definitely be doing this in the near future, so I apologize in

problems, so as soon as I get some free time (unfortunately probably not
until Monday), I will try again and send out a mail if I have problems.

Thanks for the excellent work on the project so far, and I'm very much
looking forward to using it in the near future.

Yes the test suite is not yet in a good state - this is mainly due to
the problem that testing the lib without an asterisk server is of
limited value... I am working on that to clearly seperate the unit tests
from the integration tests.

Asterisk-java uses commons-logging to do all its logging. On INFO level
it is quite verbose.
To adjust the output on your console you have to configure the
underlying logging library. This is either log4j or the standard JDK 1.4
logging.
If you use the later (i.e. have no log4j on the CLASSPATH) you can set
the log level to WARNING and above by putting

Logger.getLogger("net.sf.asterisk.manager").setLevel(Level.WARNING);

at the beginning of your program. Alternatively you can adjust the
logging via the logging.properties file.
See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/logging/LogManager.html f=
or details.
If you use log4j see http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html
for configuration details.

The short answer is: As long as there is no official 1.0 release the API
is considered unstable.
The longer answer is: The basic concepts of the ManagerConnection,
actions, events and responses will probably stay the way they are and
act as the basis on which to build a more abstract interface. So as long
as you use the methods in ManagerConnection you should be on the safe
side.
To make it easier to get started there will be a short tutorial with a
sample app somewhere in there future, but that doesn't have the highest
priority right now. If anybody would like to contribute i will happily
publish it on the project site though :)

So for now if you encounter any problems or have question on how things
should work feel free to ask on the mailing list.

Cheers

[Asterisk-java-users] status of project

[Alex M. <al...@go...>]

I just found this project today and so far this is looking like EXACTLY
what I've been looking for. I've been working on an employee status
application for a few weeks now and I've gotten to the point where I
want to integrate phone status into it.

I've checked out the asterisk-java code from CVS and gotten it to build
properly (without the test suite) and have included it in my code and I
appear to be getting a connection going. But I'm getting lots of debug
messages throughout the process. While this is ok for testing, when I
get ready to release the next version of my application for my end
users, I can't have their consoles scrolling all day.

I also haven't gotten much done other than connecting to the asterisk
server so far and getting a successful login message. Since there isn't
much documentation on the project status (outside of the excellent
javadoc documentation) I'm just wanting to get an idea of how stable the
code is and how much I can depend on it to work and keep working.
