Cameron,
I was beginning to wonder if anyone was interested in this integration. I figured with all the views it was a hot topic. To answer your question, I''ve got something working that''s pretty sweet. I started out knowing nothing about Java and with the help of one of our in-house developers, I''ve seen the light. Anyway, here''s what I''ve got:
Tell you what.......I''ll just post my change log:
Asterisk-IM Change Log
This is the list of changes made to Asterisk-IM to make it interoperate with Cisco CM 4.0 which comes with JTAPI 1.2. If an upgrade to later releases of CM are made that include JTAPI 1.3, more changes will need to be made. Specifically, 1.3 uses object "listeners" as opposed to "observers".
Feature Changes
- Removed terminal observers and added address and call observers (per address). The idea here is that we''re more interested in addresses than we are in terminals.
- Changed the logic to get userfromphone and phonefromuser information ldap via vcard information. This code could eventually support local database users also. Basically, when a user logs in, the code checks if they have an extension configured in their vcard information. If they do, the software will attempt to add address and call listeners for that address. In addition, when a user attempts to call another user, the code looks up their extension via vcard.
Change Log
- Removed jtapi-1.3.1.jar from build/lib, added Cisco''s jtapi.jar and modified build.xml to reflect the changes.
- Replaced "return null" in JtapiPlugin.getJtapiOptions to "return GetOptions()".
- Modified JtapiPhoneManager to register Address and Call Observers and removed Terminal Observer.
- Modified JtapiEvents to implement CallObserver and AddressObserver per previous modification.
- Added SessionListener private class to JtapiPhoneManager to change the logic of observer creation and removal. With these changes, observers are created when a user with a valid extension ("telephoneNumber" property in LDAP) logs in. When they log out, the observers get destroyed.
- Changed BasePhoneManager.originate to use vcard to get callerid instead of db. One of the main ideas of this implementation was to get rid of the server side "phone user" db. Why keep track of information that already stored.
Setup specifics
- Since phone users are extracted from the userprovider, the ability to get username from ext is needed. This is achieved by setting search fields in the wildfire serversettings/profilesettings to "Username/sAMAccountName,Name/cn,Email/mail,Phone/telephoneNumber".
At this point in time, the only things I''m missing are:
1. The removal of the Phone mapping page and all the unnecessary fields on the plugin page. I only use a user specified string for JTAPI provider. Everything else is pretty much automatic.
2. For some reason the callerid on the toast pop-up on the user is not working. It''s supposed to show the name of the caller, but most of the time it shows nothing. The chat window however shows the user''s name every time.
I''d be more than happy to share my code, if anyone''s interested. It''s just not perfectly clean or complete at this time.
