Re: [Asterisk-java-users] broadly, why even use asterisk?

[Zoumana T. <zou...@gm...>]

Hello,

Asterisk-Java (AJ) is a Java (no surprise there) library to interact with
Asterisk (free IPBX) main APIs AMI (Manager Interface) and AGI (Gateway
Interface). In my opinion, the best open source so far!
As all API, the goal is to provide others applications (such as web app,
desktop app) telephony features capabilities (callback, IVR...)

Asterisk is a SIP registrar and media gateway (i will stop there)

SIP is one of the protocol implemented in Asterisk (there is also IAX2
which is a Digium own protocol). When using Asterisk-Java, you are not
actually coding SIP, AJ is very tight to Asterisk.

SIP dev is a low level dev with which you can build: a registrar (one
feature of Asterisk) or a Client user agent (SIP Phone, Softphone)

SIP Servlet is a SIP stack link to Java Servlet API so web oriented on
server side.


PS: this mailing list is not for Asterisk or SIP but Asterisk-Java, please
redirect accordingly your upcoming questions.


Regards,
Zoumana
