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

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

OriginateAction has a precise definition and an exact function.  I don't
know how you are defining 'initiated', but I want to be helpful so I am
trying to clarify.  Ringing is a line 'state', 'user picks up the phone'
(called answered) is another, completely different state. sending an
originate action (a data structure) has nothing to do with the line state.
For your program to know the line state after an originate action is parsed
by asterisk you will need to parse an event objects that contains the line
state. You may be able to send a 'status' action that will cause a status
event, and parse this event to find the channel state and do something with
that info.

I hope you are finding this helpful.

AFAIK the call isnt initiated before the fone rings and the user
picks up the fone?! At least not when using the java API class
OriginateAction?!

I already thought about initiating a call connecting to an App like
conference or parkinglot.

I always use "ngrep" for this and instructed my buddy whos the java
programmer
to use it too. Thx for the advise though.
