RE: [Asterisk-java-users] Manager.originateAction tutorial and 'error'

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

fixed - nothing to do with the library, the softphone wasn't registered
with the server (could call out, but not call too).
=20
Thanks, I will definately used the information you provided for future
debugging :-)

	I always recomend the following to new users, it's very helpful
in the learning curve.
	=20
=09
	this is cut from a previous
post******************************************************

	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...
	=20
	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.
	=20
=09
************************************************************************
*

	use System.out.println(originateResponse.toString()); // to see
the entire list sent back by asterisk

	=20

	having said that, and taking a look at your code, I don't see an
obvious problem, so I recomend the following...

	backup and divide the problem into smaller steps...=20

	1. Are you able to use the dial() applicaiton successfully in
the extensions.conf file? if so move to step 2

	2. don't dial directly into an app if it's not necessary... dial
into an extension, then execute the app, this way Asterisk creates the
default CDR's.

	3. start asterisk with 'asterisk -cvvvvvvvvvv' (10 v's or so)
then check out what it's reporting when you run the java app.

	4. check out the asterisk log files.

		Thanks Jason!  It's not that different from
http://asterisk-java.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html, just more sysouts to
verify assumptions and trying setApplication/setData versions from a
previous thread on the mailing list.  The phones are SIP softphones
(x-lite) if that makes a difference (and they are calling back and forth
fine).

				Hey all,=20
				N00b trying to learn this. Running
Asterisk 1.2 and using binary lib distribution of asterisk-java-0.2.=20

				Following the Tutorial, I've used the
HelloManager class to connect to the server (and I can get the
AsteriskServer and verify that information is correct).

				When I try to use the example to
originate a call from my SIP/201 to a default Context/local 200
extension (or the setApp/SetData SIP/200 way from the mailing list), I
keep getting back in the originateResponse.getResponse of 'Error'.
Unfortunately, not very helpful in learning where the problem is.

				How should I debug to figure out what I
should correct?  Just trying to follow the tutorial to originate a call.


				Thanks,=20
