Re: [Asterisk-java-users] DefaultAGIServer bind exception

[Stefan R. <sr...@re...>]

Hi Paul,

first of all you are right that just swallowing the bind exception is
not a good idea. Especially as the AGIServer interface explicitly
denotes that an IOException may be thrown on startup. So
DefaultAGIServer is not well implemented. I fixed this so that you
receive an IOException in case of a bind failure.
Please have a look at
http://maven.reucon.org/maven/org.asteriskjava/distributions/asterisk-java-0.2-SNAPSHOT.zip
and test it.
I hope that also removes the need for your isRunning() method.

Regarding your clustering ideas I do not yet fully understand what you
are trying to achieve, i.e. what kind of outages you think of.
If I need high availability of an AGI based application I usually run it
on two or more seperate boxes and add some logic to the dialplan to
execute the AGI on the first server and if that fails to use the second
one. So there are two AGI servers up and running all the time and they
are fully functional.

Yes supporting something like CCXML on top of the library would be cool.
Do you know of any opensource work that we could use (like a CCXML
parser or whatever)?
