Re: [Asterisk-java-devel] Answering call using Asterisk Java.

[Martin S. <ma...@be...>]

Hello Ashish,

First off, the Asterisk Manager interface isn't going to provide you
enough functionality to make a softphone. It does NOT handle the media
path at all, so you'll never have sound or video or anything else via
the Manager interface. You're going to need to use SIP or IAX (and
you'll find Java libraries for each, though I'd argue they might be a
bit immature still). Given all that, Asterisk-Java's manager interface
might add some advanced features to a pre-existing softphone.

Regarding answer a call, you cannot force a remote endpoint to answer a
call; you also cannot be a remote-end capable of receiving calls if you
are only using Asterisk-Java's manager interface. If you have some other
remote end, you can certain use the manager's Originate and Bridge
actions to get channels connected to each other. You can also use local
channels there, which should provide you a lot of flexibility.

Hope this helps,
