Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Asynchrnous calls

[Martin S. <ma...@be...>]

James,
 
Try using just eventConnection.sendAction(originateAction....) like the
tutorial at http://asterisk-java.org/development/tutorial.html.
 
I don't think I've ever even noticed that originate *was* an event
generating action. Either way, the "send event generating action" code
is commented with:
    /*
     * Implements synchronous sending of event generating actions.
     */
 
I'd say use the regular sendAction unless you're expecting a bunch of
events back that you want to wait for, like listing all existing
channels or sip peers or something else that generates events as a cheap
way to return synchronously-available data.
 
Let us know how that works out for you :)

	Hi there
	
	I am currently working with Asterisk Java and trying to make a
dynamic web interface. Within the system from a widget on a web page I
call a servlet that begins to make the call this is all working ok but
what I need the servlet to do is begin to make the call then return back
to the client side immediately. So basically need to make the call to
the Asterisk Server to make the call asynchrnously.
	
	
	Does that make sense? So far I have tried an originate action
with the following details:
	
	        originateAction.setChannel("whatever");
	        //originateAction.setChannel("foo/44444");
	        originateAction.setContext("context");
	        originateAction.setCallerId("\"Test Company\"
<SOMENUMBER>");
	        originateAction.setExten("9"+exten);
	        originateAction.setAccount("account"); 
	        originateAction.setPriority(new Integer(1));
	        originateAction.setTimeout(15000L);
	        originateAction.setAsync(true);
	
	        final ResponseEvents responseEvents;
	        final Iterator<ResponseEvent> responseEventIterator;
	        AsteriskChannel channel = null;
	        
	        responseEvents =
eventConnection.sendEventGeneratingAction(originateAction,originateActio
n.getTimeout() + 2000);
	
	But this doesn't return to the client UNTIL the call is answered
is there something else I need to do other than setting the action to
async - if people need to see more of the code please let me know
	
	Regards
	
	Eggsy
