[Asterisk-Dev] Re: Creating An Asterisk Data Model

[Miroslav Nachev]

   Hi,

   I forgot to say that our working model is very flexible and when
the program is writen the client can be Web, Java Swing (Web Start) or
other SOAP client. For this we use Apache Tomcat, Apache HTTP Server,
Hiberante, Apache WebServices, SOFIA and other Java technologies.
   
   
   Best Regards,
   Miroslav Nachev

I'm working on a data model, too. Steve has shared his model with me. I am
doing The ER model right now.
