Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Attended Transfer using Manager API

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

Hi,

We managed to implement this using (well, abusing) the parking
application. That way we have no meetme running for each attended call,
the channels are always  simply bridged.

- We redirect the leg of the caller to the parking extension. The
operator leg is then dropped and the caller has MOH. In return we get
the parking position of the call.
- We then call the other party, announce the call.
- If he accepts the call, we redirect his current leg to the parking
lot  extension the call is parked at (and the operator leg is dropped
once again). The other party gets the right tone just before the
channels are bridged by the parking application.
- If he refuses the call we redirect our own leg to the parking
extension so we get the caller back.

The only problem is that with the stock Park application, the caller is
announced it's own parking lot extension so we made a tiny ast
application, called "ParkSilent". That's just a copy&paste of the stock
parking main function with second party channel set to null instead of
the caller channel. This can be easily compiled against at least 1.2.9 -
1.2.16 without recompiling the whole asterisk (in fact it's even binary
compatible as it links dynamically against the stock parking).

Regards

Gaetan
