[Asterisk-java-users] ManagerResponse#getUniqueId() returns null after sending OrginateAction

[Andrew W. <an...@ji...>]

Hi,

I am trying to get the unique ID back from the call I have  
established with the originate action, however I  
ManagerResponse#getUniqueId() always returns null. Is this the  
expected behavior or is this a bug.


My code:

ManagerConnection con =  
ManagerConnectionPoolFactory.getManagerConnectionPool().getConnection();

OriginateAction action = new OriginateAction();
action.setChannel("6141");
action.setCallerId("99999");
action.setExten(extension);
action.setContext("default");
action.setPriority(1);

ManagerResponse response = con.sendAction(action, 5 *  
JiveConstants.SECOND);
String uniqueID = response.getUniqueId();


I have also noticed that DefaultAsteriskManager#orginateCall uses the  
same general idea.

If this is the correct behavior is the only around this to create a  
listener and wait for the next event that would contain the uniqueID  
(such as the Link event)?

thanks in advance,
Andrew
