  Subject: [Asterisk-java-users] asterisk-java, ports


  Hi,
  I've been doing some tests, not exactly with asterisk-java, but with a =
perl script that keeps sending "show agents" and "show channels" to port =
5038, gets the response, parses it and submit to a MySQL Database. Then =
I have a Java application that reads from the database and display this =
information to the end-user.
  The problem I have is that sometimes, after I send a "show channels" =
command and wait for the response I get some asterisk events, which are =
not valid responses to my request.
  I guess this happens because Asterisk uses the same port for events =
and the manager API.
  Is this a common error? Is there a way to avoid it?
  If I did the parsing application using asterisk-java instead of Pearl, =
would I still be vulnerable to this kind of error?
This isn't a bug.  It's the "broken" way that asterisk handles the =
status request.  One would think that a request would receive a response =
and not generate events.
