 I did a spiel on this at Astricon last year. The slide deck is 
somewhere around for those interested, but now we also have some code to 
show for it. :-)

 Take a look at this developer branch at

http://www.asterisk.org/node/48440

 and then we've put some pieces together for the Java side of things 
using Ignite's Realtime API for messaging.

 http://svn.btwtech.com/svnview/coolvocals/trunk/cti-server/click2call/
 http://svn.btwtech.com/svnview/coolvocals/trunk/cti-client/click2call/

 Basically the idea here is that there's a servlet that honors requests 
into it (think AJAX Remote calls from the browser) and then turns around 
and puts that request into a jabber message that goes to a centralized 
Servlet that can proxy requests across multiple servers 
(scalability/LCR/etc) and that in turn launches an Originate call in to 
the AMI of the machine that was decided would receive the request. Once 
that hand off is done, the "proxy" machine that received and directed 
the original request is now out of the middle of things and jabber 
messages are sent directly back to the client to signal call progress of 
the click to call.

 Is it a "shrink wrapped and ready to go" package that's completely 
documented and involves no technical knowledge whatsoever for 
implementation? Ummmm.. no, but that might happen in the relatively near 
future. :-)   What it IS though is solid working code (yes, it has been 
fully unit tested out and is functional) contributed back to the 
community so we can all start to make something with it if we so 
choose.  If there's enough interest, I'd certainly entertain opening up 
a blog site and open up the branch of the Java code for community 
contributions as well in addition to doing a more detailed "tutorial" on 
usage of the code at the upcoming Astricon this year.
