[Asterisk-java-users] asterisk manager can't get variable values

[Jason W. <ja...@cl...>]

Hello,

In the dialplan, I set the variable 'accepted=yes' when the user presses 1
and is transfered to extension 1.

I'm using the following code to try and get variable values from asterisk in
my java console app using the manager API:

//****************************************

getVarAction = new GetVarAction();
getVarAction.setVariable("accepted");
Thread.sleep (14000); //wait ten seconds to allow the user to make a
selection
actionResponse = managerConnection.sendAction(getVarAction,10000);

String accepted = new String();
accepted = actionResponse.getAttribute("EXTEN");
System.out.println("accepted=" + accepted);

//****************************************

For Any variable I try to get, even the predefined channel variables, I get
null.  Help would be greatly appreciated.

Jason
