[Asterisk-java-devel] Trixbox Support

[Jeff R. <jef...@dp...>]

Hello,
  We have clients that use Trixbox systems (Pro and Call Center Editions)
which is based on asterisk.  After struggling for a week trying to get
Asterisk-Java to detect incoming events with the Trixbox system we
determined that the Trixbox folks have re-written portions of the Manager
API and have changed the format of the Event packets being sent to Manager
clients.  They now have an XML-like structure.  We have managed to modify
the ManagerReaderImpl.java to correctly parse both Asterisk and Trixbox
events and would like to share this back so that Asterisk-Java works equally
well with both Trixbox and Asterisk systems.

We have confirmed with Trixbox support that this is the case and it sounds
like they intend to continue with this incompatible direction.

I am looking for input on how best to proceed.  If we send these
modifications can they be incorporated into the core code base?  Does it
make sense for the core Asterisk-Java code base to work with both asterisk
and Trixbox or would it be better to have a separate release for Trixbox?
Or is this something we will just have to maintain locally?

Thanks,
Jeff
