[asterisk-users] Get calling channel before pickup

[Marcus Carlson]

Thanks for your answer, I've now investigated this further and it was 
really easy, it was right in front of my eyes...

Using the java library from asterisk-java.org it was extreamly easy, 
start monitoring on a new channel, check that to is ment for me and add 
a property listener for getDialingChannel() and there it was. The thing 
is I didn't get the original channel (when I make a call with LOCAL I've 
suddenly get four channels) and getDialingChannel returns one of the 
LOCAL ones, I don't think that would be a problem - but I haven't tried 
to redirect or hang it up yet.

Will also check out the dialing event more carefully, thanks.
