CallerID incorrect

Hello! First excellent job on the plugin! Very cool stuff! However, I’'m having some issues and I think deep down its an Asterisk problem but since it directly effects Asterisk-IM I wanted to post here for some feedback.

Here is an excerpt of my asterisk extensions config. Basically 847-555-1111 is the number the caller dialed. Lets say the caller’'s ANI is 847-555-2222:

exten => +18475551111,1,Macro(dialfromdid,1019,SIP/1019)

exten => s,1,Answer

exten => s,n,Wait(1)

exten => s,n,Playback(directgreeting)

exten => s,n,Playback(voicemail/default/$/greet)
exten => s,n,Dial($,20,m)
exten => s,n,Voicemail(u$)

exten => s,n,Hangup

exten => s,n+BUSY,Voicemail(b$)

exten => s,n+BUSY,Hangup

Now when it rings to our sip handset the caller id is correct. If we query the $ channel variable, the value is correct (+18475552222). Here is a debug from the manager: Event: Dial
Privilege: call,all
Source: SIP/10.2.0.113-b7e00480
Destination: SIP/1019-0941
CallerID: +18475552222
CallerIDName: +18475552222
SrcUniqueID: 1124725101.330
DestUniqueID: 1124725110.331 Event: Newcallerid
Privilege: call,all
Channel: SIP/1019-0941
CallerID: +18475551111
CallerIDName:
Uniqueid: 1124725110.331
CID-CallingPres: 0 (Presentation Allowed, Not Screened) Event: Newchannel
Privilege: call,all
Channel: SIP/1019-0941
State: Ringing
CallerID: +18475551111
CallerIDName:
Uniqueid: 1124725110.331 As you can see, the Dial even contains the correct Caller ID information, the NewChannel even however does not. When I receive the message packet in jabber:

+18475551111

So from what I can tell, the plugin (through the asterisk/java api) is getting the “NewChannel” event for the message packet and asterisk is using the exten as the CallerID instead of the $ from the originating channel. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Home grown using Jabber-Net. But that shouldn’'t matter because this is all server side.

Hurrah! I figured it out. I added o option to dial string and it fixed the Newchannel callerid.
