[Asterisk-java-users] Problems with the GetVar action

[Mattias M. <ma...@wx...>]

Hi!

As a new user of both Asterisk and asterisk-java I'm having a bit of
trouble retrieving variables using the GetVarAction. As I am using an
older version of Asterisk (v1.0.7) and found out by looking in the API,
and at the voip-info.org wiki, that global variables cannot be retrieved
in versions older than 1.2, but what I am trying to do is retrieving a
local channel variable as such:

GetVarAction getvar_action =3D new GetVarAction(channel, "CALLERIDNUM");

action_response =3D manager.sendAction(getvar_action);

=20

.

.

.

I do however get a timeout on the response no matter what variable I try
to retrieve.

When connecting to the Asterisk manager using telnet and issue actions
from there, I managed to retrieve only a variable set by myself and not
even this one was I able to retrieve from the GetVarAction in
asterisk-java.

Am I doing something wrong or am I using a too old version of Asterisk
for this to work? If so, is there another way to retrieve these
channel-specific variables?

Thanks in advance!
