Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Local channel

[Yves A. <yv...@gm...>]

hi,

I don´t see a reason why whispering to a known sip channel should not 
work without the use of local channels....
did you try? if its not working as expected pls. post your code and 
dialplan...

local channels are a way to call into a dialplan, not to a "phone"... 
normally you would originate
a call between to "phones" (extensions), but if you want to execute some 
kind of "logic" before bridging
the two ends, the use of local channels makes this not only much easier 
but is sometimes the only way
to go. take a look at the dial command itself... it expects 
type/identifier as first argument, e.g. SIP/123
or DAHDI/g0/123456... so without "local" as an asterisk-specific channel 
type you would not be able
to call into a dialplan to execute dialplan logic at one (or more) legs 
of the call.

regards,
yves
