Introduction
Java Telephony API (JTAPI) is a portable, object-oriented API for computer telephony integrated call control. JTAPI, the package of interfaces located in the javax.telephony.* hierarchy, defines a programming model by which java applications interact with telephony resources such as PBXs and telephones. The Cisco JTAPI implementation supports java application access to AVVID communication systems according to the JTAPI v 1.2 specification. Furthermore, Cisco JTAPI exposes Cisco specific events and methods for certain telephony resources such as calls and connections.
Purpose
One of the primary goals of a standard Application Programming Interface (API) such as JTAPI is to provide an unchanging programming interface under which varied implementations may stand. Cisco's goal in implementing JTAPI for the CallManager platform is to conform as closely as possible to the JTAPI specification, while providing extensions that enhance JTAPI and expose the advanced features of Cisco CallManager to applications.
As new versions of Cisco CallManager and the Cisco JTAPI implementation are released, variances in the API should be very minor, and should tend in the direction of compliance. Cisco is committed to maintaining its API extensions with the same stability and reliability, though additional extensions may be provided as new Cisco CallManager features become available.
This document outlines some basic JTAPI concepts like transfer and conference extensions. It also describes the support of and extensions to the JTAPI v 1.2 specification.
Audience
This document is intended for telephony software developers who are developing Cisco IP Telephony applications that require JTAPI. This document assumes that the programmer is familiar with both the Java language and the Sun JTAPI v 1.2 specification.
Organization
The table below provides an outline of this document's organization.
Related Documentation
The companion document Cisco JTAPI Developer Reference (JTAPI v 1.2 Specification) contains the Sun JTAPI specification for the supported interfaces and classes and their respective methods. The specification was downloaded from the Sun JTAPI web site and included in this document set as a convenience to Cisco JTAPI programmers. Note that the writing style in that book conforms to the Sun specification, it does not conform to the Cisco writing style.
To obtain the very latest version of the JTAPI specification files, go directly to the web site at:
