RE: [Asterisk-java-users] originate call without picking up the fone?!

[Jason W. <jas...@be...>]

In my testing, when I send an originate action, asterisk returns a
response=error immediately when the line is busy and a response=success as
soon as it starts riging.  I think, from what you're saying, that your best
solution is to originate the first call, and if response=success, you can
originate a second call, and then put them both into a conference room on
answer. (put them into a conference room using extensions, not java actions)

also, the consise list of java actions is listed at:
http://asterisk-java.sourceforge.net/apidocs/index.html

Check out my earlier post about using Ethereal to view what communication is
happening at the TCP/IP level....

John,

I did a couple of things to make sure I was making the most of events... You
might find it useful to try the following...

1. Use a program like Ethereal to sniff packets being recieved by your
server running Manager. This way you see exactly what you're getting. You
can filter to only show packets from the asterisk machine, and then you can
do a test of the situation that you want to capture and see if asterisk is
telling you what you need.
2. Look into 'user defined events'
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+UserEvent
3. grep on the entire asterisk directory for the currently generated events,
I'm sure what your looking for would be in in channel.c if it exists, or
trust the list at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/asterisk+manager+events
4. if you look at the source for asterisk, you'll see that it's not hard to
add events right in the source code and recompile if it's mission critical.
5. as well, Stefan did a great job of laying out Asterisk-java, so you could
download the source and add a class for your handler if you create one.

Hope this helps.
Jason

Hell Jason,

thx for the reply!

we are using the asterisk java 2.0 API and the "OriginateAction" Class to
establish the call. I have to admit i am not the programmer but posting here
on his behalf so i dont understand all the jave API centric concepts fully.

Simple Question: Is is possible to solve the problem with existing
java-classes or do we need to get down to protocol level and issue
actions ourselves?!

We want either this or connect to the enduser when the "other side" is
"ringing" and not "busy". We only want the user to pickup the fone if
the other side is available or picking up.

cheers,
