[Asterisk-java-users] OT: Asterisk billing development

[Thameem A. <tha...@ya...>]

Hello All,

Sorry for sending mail to this list but I find that the people participating in this list would be appropriate to ask. 

I am planning to develop an billing application for asterisk based on asterisk-java. This would be a full fledged routing, billing and calling card platform. Many people may ask why the heck i need to build a new one if there are many open source softwares available. The reason are many. I evaluated almost all the opensource/commercial products written in many different languages (non so far in java)...but they lag of different things...nothing is fully functionaly or to my expectation..for example, 

A2billing .. Not a very good design though..will not handle simultaneous calls from an account, will not have a good calling card platform, no callback service, etc. 

MORCC -  its a simple and nice calling card app but no way for provisioning users, prepaid or post paid options

AstBill - need drupal (which i hate it), not a true calling card app and having problem with simultaneous call billing calculation..

So, here is my request.. I would like to find out is there any more people available to give me hand on developing that product. I already have one in production which is working so far good but i want to rewrite the whole thing again and fix the bottlenecks i found. Here are the technologies i am planning to use... Struts 2.0.1, tomcat 5.5, asterisk-java, hibernate, postgres 8.x, Jreports or Jasper Reports, sitemesh, quartz and integration with paypal using paypal apis, etc... I have a rough design and plan and need people and inputs...

Please let me know your thoughts...we can start this as sourceforge project.. Stefan - I need your thoughts on this...

Take care,
Thameem
