Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Keeping AgiCahnnel alive for a long time.

[Artur T. <ar...@ca...>]

Let's say we receive a call and answer it. We know that it'll be a long
call and that we want to be able to do some things with it, like: join
conferences, leave that conferences, play sounds and do other stuff. So
ideally we should be able to execute any asterisk application on this
call's channel. What's the best way to do this?

What I was trying to do is to execute AGI(..) to pass control to java. In
normal situation it'll trigger the service() method of some AgiScript and
return. But I prevent it from returning to keep the channel open for our
commands.

Regarding AMI: as I understood we can execute apps or set contexts only
during call origination and we can't just execute smth for an already
active call. If I'm not right please give an example of how to do it.

I hope it makes the question clearer. I can give more details if you need.
And thanks for your time.
