[Asterisk-java-users] getChannelByName returning an old hungup channel instead of the current one

[Gaetan M. <gm...@ea...>]

Hi

I ran across a problem with getChannelByName in AsteriskServerImpl (and
ChannelManager.getChannelImplByName). Indeed sometimes it returns and
old HUNGUP channel that has not yet been purged (< 15 min) of the
channels list.

With SIP channels it is very infrequent as there is a session ID (4 or
more alpha chars) in the channel name so there is room before we get
another channel with the same name in the 15 min interval,
but for Zap channels it is more frequent as there is no session ID added
to the name so we may have more than one channel with the same name (one
active and several old ones that are  hung up).

Most of the library internal code calls getChannelImplById not ByName,
but with queues and parked calls events we only have a channel name in
the event, not the Id (unless bristuffed version), and so we must find
it by name;
Should this be considered as a bug ?
