As most of the users already make use of many new features in 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT it is time to push the final release out of the door. As a first step I've released milestone 2 of 1.0.0 called 1.0.0-m2. Have a look at the changelog to see which bugs have ... [More] been fixed and which new features are included.

Most notably milestone 2 includes support for the 1.6 series of Asterisk as well as support for using scripting languages with the FastAGI server.

Scripting Support for FastAGI

Posted about 1 month ago

Asterisk-Java 1.0.0 includes support for implementing AGI scripts in the scripting language of your choice. You still have the benefit of running on the JVM but for the implementation of your script you can now choose your favorite ... [More] language.

I've prepared a small demo script that counts down from ten to zero, plays a beep. It then waits for DTMF input and reads the digit you've pressed back to you. You can exit by pressing star (*) or pound (#). To show you how this script looks like in the different languages it is implemented three times: In Groovy, JavaScript and PHP.

To get started just download the binary distribution of Asterisk-Java. Unpack it and run the asterisk-java.jar file from the unpacked directory.

$ cd asterisk-java-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
$ java -jar asterisk-java.jar
May 13, 2009 1:26:16 AM org.asteriskjava.fastagi.DefaultAgiServer startup
INFO: Listening on *:4573.

The AGI scripts are put into the agi directory. There you'll also find the demo.groovy, demo.js and demo.php files. The lib directory contains additional libraries required to execute the scripts.

Modify your dialplan and add extensions for the demo scripts:

exten => 2000,1,Agi(agi://localhost/demo.groovy)
exten => 2001,1,Agi(agi://localhost/demo.js)
exten => 2002,1,Agi(agi://localhost/demo.php)

If you are not running the Asterisk-Java on the same server as Asterisk replace localhost by the hostname of the machine running Asterisk-Java.

Note that you will need at least Java 6 to make use of the new scripting support. [Less]

I will give a short presentation of Asterisk-Java (in German) at the Java User Group Cologne (JUGC) on May 29th.

It will be a short overview of what Asterisk-Java can do and how it can be used to add phone support to Java applications. The ... [More] presentation will have a duration of 5 to 10 minutes and include a small interactive demo that serves as a show case.

The main talk will be about JSF 2.0 vs Struts 2.1. I would be happy to meet a few Asterisk-Java developers over there. [Less]

Users: Asterisk and CTI, what’s that all about?

Posted 3 months ago

Sameh Shaker has posted some examples of what you can do with Asterisk using the Manager API and Fast AGI. I think it's a good starting point for new users of Asterisk-Java to get some inspiration for their own applications.
