What is the java provider string for the microsoft tapi interface?
Java Programming Language Question
Asked by: richardsimnett2005-06-25Solved by: RupeshBHello,
I'm writing a TAPI application, that just needs to interface the Microsoft TAPI interface, dial a number, and collect the connection status. I have most of the code written, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to bring the whole thing together for testing, because I cant seem to find any documentation on the provider string for the microsoft tapi interface.
Here is a snippet of code from my program. Can someone please tell me what the correct provider string is? Correct Answer is worth 500 points.
//initialize the JTAPI Core
//init the provider
Provider mProvider;
try
{
mProvider=Provider.createProvider("telephony:connectionstring"); //ie. SUNWxtl:/aleka.eng:400/isdn/isdn0
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
Thanks,
RIkc

please do the following steps
1) make sure that the os is microsoft
2) download the mstapi.zip file from the xtapi site http://xtapi.sourceforge.net/
3) unzip the file and copy the xtapi.dll file to c:\windows\system32
4) copy the mstapi.jar file to you class path may be jre/lib.ext
5) now the code goes like this
JtapiPeer peer = JtapiPeerFactory.getJtapiPeer("net.xtapi.XJtapiPeer");
/*
Provider provider =peer.getProvider("")
may also work
*/
Provider provider=peer.getProvider("MSTAPI");

Firstly, are you certain you've *got* a provider?

Secondly, if i were forced to make a guess, i'd say that Microsoft TAPI is not compatible with JTapi. This on the other hand could be of use:

>> please do the following steps
This is interesting. My guess as to what is going on here is as follows:
Microsoft TAPI is not compatible with JTapi. The former exposes a COM interface, which is bridged by xtapi.dll so that the latter can access the services of the former

CEHJ,
Yes Im sure there is a provider, all installs of windows has its own TAPI interface. In this case (for testing purposes) I simply want to interact with a voice/fax modem on the pc. I need to be able to do the following: make a call, and using the Call Control Specification determine the state of teh connection. ie... Connected:Busy, Connected: Wrong #, Connected:Active. Once I have the connection state of the call the program simply disconnects, and moves on to the next number. The program is simply a phone # verifier.
Ideally, This app (on a real telephony system) will control multiple telephone lines in this matter. But for my proofing all I need to do is make it work for one instance.
Thanks,
Rick

Yes, you have a Windows provider, but probably not a Java one. My interpretation of the above is that xtapi provides a Java adapter to that Windows provider

CEHJ,
