Interface ManagerConnection

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultManagerConnection, ManagerConnectionImpl

public interface ManagerConnection

The main interface to talk to an Asterisk server via the Asterisk Manager API.

The ManagerConnection repesents a connection to an Asterisk server and is capable of sending ManagerActions and receiving ManagerResponses and ManagerEvents. It does not add any further functionality but rather provides a Java view to Asterisk's Manager API (freeing you from TCP/IP connection and parsing stuff).

It is used as the foundation for higher leveled interfaces like the Asterisk-Java Live.

A concrete implementation of this interface can be obtained from a ManagerConnectionFactory.

registerUserEventClass

void registerUserEventClass(java.lang.Class<? extends ManagerEvent> userEventClass)

Registers a new user event type.

Asterisk allows you to send custom events via the UserEvent application. If you choose to send such events you can extend the abstract class UserEvent provide a name for your new event and optionally add your own attributes. After registering a user event type Asterisk-Java will handle such events the same way it handles the internal events and inform your registered event handlers.

Note: If you write your own Asterisk applications that use Asterisk's manager_event() function directly and don't use the channel and uniqueid attributes provided by UserEvent you can also register events that directly subclass ManagerEvent.

The event class must be a concrete class with a default constructor (one that takes no arguments).

Parameters:

userEventClass - the class representing the user event to register.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if userEventClass is not a valid event class.

See Also:

UserEvent, ManagerEvent

setSocketTimeout

void setSocketTimeout(int socketTimeout)

The timeout to use when connecting the the Asterisk server.

Default is 0, that is using Java's built-in default.

Parameters:

socketTimeout - the timeout value to be used in milliseconds.

Since:

0.2

See Also:

Socket.connect(java.net.SocketAddress, int)

setSocketReadTimeout

void setSocketReadTimeout(int socketReadTimeout)

Connection is dropped (and restarted) if it stales on read longer than the timeout.

If you set this property to a non zero value be sure to also use a PingThread or somthing similar to make sure there is some network traffic, otherwise you will encounter lots of unexpected reconnects. The read timeout should be at least twice the interval set for the PingThread.

Default is 0, that is no read timeout.

Parameters:

socketReadTimeout - the read timeout value to be used in milliseconds.

Since:

0.3

Sends an EventGeneratingAction to the Asterisk server and waits for the corresponding ManagerResponse and the ResponseEvents

EventGeneratingActions are ManagerActions that don't return their response in the corresponding ManagerResponse but send a series of events that contain the payload.

This method will block until the correpsonding action complete event has been received. The action complete event is determined by EventGeneratingAction.getActionCompleteEventClass().

Examples for EventGeneratingActions are StatusAction, QueueStatusAction or AgentsAction.

Parameters:

action - the action to send to the Asterisk server

Returns:

a ResponseEvents that contains the corresponding response and response events received from the Asterisk server

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the network connection is disrupted.

EventTimeoutException - if no response or not all response events are received within the given timeout period.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the action is null, the actionCompleteEventClass property of the action is null or if actionCompleteEventClass is not a ResponseEvent.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if you are not connected to an Asterisk server.
