You can still use your "old" AGIs with Asterisk-Java 0.2-rc1 though you
will get a compile time warning about using a deprecated API.

When originating a call two channels are involved. Let's asume you
originate a call from A to B then what happens looks like:

A channel is created to A:
----> A
A is ringing
When A is answered the second channel is created:
----> A ----> B
The channel variables are set on the channel from A to B only.

So when you change your example to

        OriginateAction originateAction =3D new OriginateAction();
        originateAction.setChannel("Local/5000@test");
        originateAction.setVariable("var1=3DTEST");
        originateAction.setExten("5001");
        originateAction.setContext("test");
        originateAction.setPriority(new Integer(1));
        originateAction.setTimeout(new Integer(30000));

and your extensions.conf to

[test]
exten =3D> 5000,1,Answer()
exten =3D> 5000,2,NoOp(Our var is not printed here: ${var1})
exten =3D> 5000,3,Playback(demo-abouttotry)
exten =3D> 5000,4,Hangup()

exten =3D> 5001,1,NoOp(Our var is printed here: ${var1})
exten =3D> 5001,2,MeetMe(1)

you will see that your channel variable is actually set on the channel
to the MeetMe room.
Does that help in your case?
