[Asterisk-java-users] Channel extraction.

[Jan du T. <jan...@de...>]

Hi all.

I used the OriginateAction to generate a call from the asterisk server 
on a channel to a certain extension. (Like the example on the tutorial 
page of the Asteriks-Java webpage@sourceforge.)

The call is successfully generated. Now I want to hangup the call. I 
assume you want to use HangupAction. But hangupAction needs the exact 
channel id.
A channel id for SIP for example will looks like this: "SIP/Jan-324bf".

The first part of the channel id a person obviously know, because one 
configured OriginateAction with it. But Asterisks automatically 
generates a random number which is appended to the channel id to 
uniquley identify it.

My question is how do you extract this generated random number, so that 
one can succesfully hangup a channel using HangupAction?

Thank you.
