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

[Igor O. <vo...@oc...>]

I am sure there is solution for handling dependencies and packaging:
Maven - asterisk-java project uses it.
IMHO here is the choice of frameworks seams right: Hibernate, Spring, Struts.
I would not use mysql but postgress.
Using Hibernate gives the choise of any database for development/production - 
so I can stick to my DB2 forever ;-)
And BTW: are we talking about simple prepayed/postpayed or there is plans to 
implement some insanity like in enterprise level billing - 
"unlimited incoming, free evenings,weekends, three year contract termination 
charge"?
