[asterisk-dev] Bug in setting/retrieving channel variables

Hi, everyone.

I'm building a telephony application using asterisk-1.2.13 and
Asterisk-Java 0.3 and I encounter some strange behaviour in the
following situation:

I use local channels to create an AGI connection to my server, enabling
me to set the caller presentation and the caller ID before making a dial
over the AGI connection. Before sending the Dial command I also set a
variable on the channel (using name, _name, and __name as variable
names). Using the Manager API I wait for the NewChannelEvent and send a
GetVar action to retrieve the variable from the new channel so that I
can connect the new channel with the dial command from the old channel.

Unfortunately this only works about 90% to 95% of the time, the rest of
the time the GetVar action returns an empty variable value. Are there
some timing issues involved in this or is this a bug or is this indeed
some intended behaviour?


Thanks,

	David Roden
