Java Telephone API
-
I am Sushanti, Msc Part 2 student from Mumbai, India. I have selected JTAPI as my project topic. Till now I have planned to add the following features in my project : 1) Making phone calls from PC. 2) Receiving phone calls. and if possible 3) Conference 4) transfer 5) answering machine I have downloaded JTAPI 1.2 class files. My java files are getting compiled successfully. I have doubts regarding the hardware configuration required to run these. Will I be able to really make a call by using a microphone, speaker or even by using our modem. Is cost required for each call. Is a provider service is obligatory. How should I go ahead with this project if I won't be able to show the examiner the call really being processed. Need your guidance in this. Waiting for your positive response. Sushanti

hello there we did a similar project in VB for our final year engineering... you need a modem... a full duplux voice modem.... and ofcourse a phone line connected to the modem.... making calls through PC is like having phone instrument virtually in the PC.... call charges and others are same as that of using a phone... u wont need any special hardware..... actually you can show the examinar the real process like we did.... Note: remember we did our project in VB using TAPI... we have some dll's and ocx using that we did this project.... our project is an answering machine.... it is going to be implemented in our college... our project is like when a parent or some one calls this number the PC will pickup the call and ask for the detail they want, like college detail or student detail then the calling party can respond by pressing option number in their phone.. the software will read this signal called DTMF and then respond as per the option or choice dont worry this is simple and if you have any other doubts you message me........ my email id is urdreammaker@rediffmail.com Madhu

You're taking on a huge project for a student, but it can be done. I think you may have found a great resource in Madhu - he's been there, done that. I found TAPI utterly baffling when I attacked it with VC++ and the MFC classes, but the Java community has done a far better job of implementing classes for communications of all kinds than Microsoft has ever done. I would certainly embrace any ideas that Madhu offers and run with them. Spend some time on the Sun website, too. They offer some very good tutorial material and sample code, if you can find it. The website isn't organized as well as it could be, but it's an excellent resource. Best of luck to you....:) BTW - When you're done with this project, it will be a great article to post here to help others learn from your experiences.

hi Tapi is difficult but possible and i have used ocx so it was quite easy like wise you can refer for helps in jtapi which will help you a lot.... you will be able to finish your project only if you try using available functions... if you try to implement functions then that itself will become a project........ take care Madhu
