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

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

Thanks for the response.

I do not know if it will actually work in 1.2 as the only thing stated =
in the description is that reading GLOBAL variables doesn't work in =
1.0.7, not local channel variables.

Sadly, I have no possibility to upgrade Asterisk, at the moment, since =
the PBX I am developing for relies on a lot of scripts depending on the =
1.0.7 and requires a lot of testing before migrating.

As I earlier stated, I can retrieve a variable by telneting to the =
manager and issue actions from there. This is however only possible with =
a user-declared variable and even this does NOT work with asterisk-java =
GetVarAction. The only thing that happens is a timeout waiting for the =
response.

Thankful for more suggestions!

Why don't you just update Asterisk? It's the easiest solution, as you=20
know how to retrieve the variables then?

cheers!
