What do you need the redirect for? If you want to connect the third party
to the VoIP application (i.e. hard or softphone) you might do this
directly with the OriginateAction... maybe I am missing something here.

Nevertheless you can certainly use the RedirectAction. Last time I used i=
t
was a few days ago for the upcoming Asterisk Desktop Manager (ADM). You
can browse the relevant sources at
http://adm.hamnett.org/fisheye/viewrep/ADM/adm/src/org/hamnett/adm/asteri=
sk/impl/AsteriskPlugin.java?r=3D1.23
dial() and redirect() methods start around line 200.

ADM allows you to originate calls to your phone (or sip client or what
ever) via OriginateAction (ADM calls that Quick Dial) and allows you to
redirect any active call to or from your phone to another extension (via
RedirectAction). So maybe that might be an example for you to look at.

Happy coding,

Stefan
