Hi
To really have it working with Cisco CallManager you really need to do a lot of changes.
We built a year ago a CCM-IM plugin for customer. At the begining, it was based on the asterisk-im plugin, but there a some basic concept that are radically different between Asterisk and CCM (like Extension Mobility and the underlying authorization system)
Yes, JTAPI is 1.2 but you need a provider connection for each user if the Extension Mobility is in use, for instance. If the CCM is 4 or later, there should be queries via AXL for getting some info, etc.
In fact, we built a far more complex plugin (from the basic phone handling: dialing, hanging up, forwarding, redirecting, capturing calls to handle emergency situations like publisher (master) failure or throwling the AXL requests to the CCM to avoid congestions,plus the usual caller/callee identification and rule-based handling (like blacklisting some annoying callers) or realtime statistics )
Openfire is working just fine (on a virtual machine). There’re 1600 users/phones with more than a million messages a day and 10000 daily calls.
At the end, they have something like the OCS+CUPS. Now we’re planning to drop our OCS and put the OpenFire plus a modified version of this CCM-IM plugin (we need to add the outlook presence info: meetings and such).
The Cisco JTAPI libs are always on the Administrator page of your Cisco installation, and on the Cisco CUCM SDKs.
Next is to work with Alcatel…
We can’t provide yet the code. Maybe later…
But if you need info on how to do it, we may help.
