Asterisk-Java

beanizer.org has published an interesting article on how to build an AGI server with Asterisk-Java to run AGI scripts written in BeanShell. They provide a dispatcher AgiScript that delegates to a BeanShell script and provides some additional ... [More] convenience functions to make the custom scripts easy to implement. The advantages of using scripting languages on the JVM along with Asterisk-Java are compelling: The approach is quite flexible, our script engine doesn't need to be on the same computer the pbx is on, and we can add/modify our scripts on the fly without need for compilation or engine restart. You might also be interested in our recent posting on writing AGI scripts in Groovy that describes a similar approach with a focus on Groovy.

While skipping through our referrer list i stumbled upon this comment from a French user: Asterisk-Java, quelle belle API. C'est la plus complète parmi celles que l'on puisse trouver pour interroger le manager ou développer des "scripts" AGI. ... [More] Coder avec cette API est vraiment d'une simplicité... :-) Bon, c'est Java... On regrettera juste qu'il n'y ai rien vraiment à la hauteur pour d'autres langages. It seems like even developers not devoted to Java are in love with our library. Interestingly enough there a quite few developers using other languages than Java that are using our javadocs as a general purpose reference to the Manager an FastAGI APIs. Thanks for your kind works, it helps us keep up further enhancing Asterisk-Java. [Less]

Since a few days the first beta of Asterisk 1.6.0 is available for download. So far, Asterisk-Java seems to work fine with the new release. If you encounter any problems feel free to post a comment, join our mailing list or post a bug report.

It seems we've hidden the link to our mailing lists a bit too well. We have two mailing lists: Asterisk-Java Users for users of Asterisk-Java seeking help Asterisk-Java Devel for developers of Asterisk-Java, i.e. the guys enhancing the ... [More] library code itself. This list not intended to provide support regarding the use of Asterisk-Java. You can find the subscription details for both lists here. You might also be interested in our Bug Tracker where you can look for known issues, post new bug reports and submit patches. [Less]

The good news is: Asterisk-Java seems to work quite well with the latest development version of Asterisk. One issue came up with a discussion on igniterealtime.org concerning Asterisk-IM though. Asterisk-IM had problems authenticating to the ... [More] latest development version of Asterisk. As it turned out the reason for this was a bug in Asterisk introduced a few months ago: When using challenge/reponse authentication with AMI the "Login" action uses the secret supplied with the "Login" action instead of the one from manager.conf to calculate the MD5 hash. This has two effects: Login with "AuthType: MD5" and "Key:" but without a "Secret:" always fails Anybody who knows a valid username can login without knowing the secret configured in manager.conf As Asterisk-Java uses MD5 based challenge/response authentication by default there are probably other users out there that are affected by the problem. The solution is easy: Just upgrade to the latest revision from trunk. Tilghman just commited a fix with r98536. [Less]
