The Media package of JTAPI is documented in the JTAPI Media Overview. JTAPI Media is suitable for applications doing content processing, independent of the call setup, signalling and routing. For example, this API is designed to simplify applications that implement interactive voice response (IVR) systems, auto-attendant or robotic agents (versus live operators), voice mail, speech recognition, text-to-speech, fax, integrated messaging, etc.
J2EETM, J2SETM, and J2METM platforms.
JTAPI makes it possible to add telephony functionality to Java enabled equipment, from web phones and smart mobile phones to network call center and computer-telephony server equipment.
JTAPI brings telephony functionality to Java. It allows applications to run on a variety of telephony operating systems and hardware platforms that are deployed in a variety of telephony networks.
JTAPI is intended to be a simple API as well. JTAPI still requires application developers to be knowledgeable about telephony, but reduces the amount of implementation-specific knowledge required to develop applications.
The range of "targets" for JTAPI ranges from the largest call centers, to desktop systems, to network computers, to network telephones to wireless smart phones.
JTAPI has provisions for both first-party and third-party call control plus media stream control.
JTAPI isn't just another telephony API - although JTAPI can be implemented without existing telephony APIs, it was also designed to allow implementers to build on top of existing telephony APIs (e.g. TAPI, TSAPI).
JTAPI 1.x is already succesfully addressing many of the needs of the telephony application development community. JTAPI 1.3, in particular, was defined to meet the needs of mobile telephony, and to start the process of bringing JTAPI into conformance with the Sun JDK 1.1 event delivery model (the Listener pattern).
For two large domains - call center applications & softphone applications - the work started in JTAPI 1.3 remains incomplete. Such applications require the extension packages callcontrol, callcenter and phone; work on these was deferred for a subsequent release.
The JTAPI 1.3 media package established the paradigm and patterns for call management and resource operations. However, there are other resources and media services that need to be defined in the Java domain.
JTAPI 1.4 extends and enhances the current JTAPI specification. It will:
JTAPI 1.4 will leverage the core-plus-extension architecture and draw on the experience of its existing application base to establish a mature, robust specification for use in commercial telephony platform implementations and for development of portable telephony applications.
JTAPI 1.4 will build upon the previous JTAPI 1.2 and 1.3 releases.
The package names and naming conventions will remain the same as for JTAPI 1.3.
The the core JTAPI interfaces and classes are contain in the package:
The optional extension packages are:
JTAPI 1.4 will require a JDK 1.1 or later release to support event listeners.
None. JTAPI will not incorporate security features.
The JTAPI does not deal with the display of information. It provides mechanisms for accessing the services of its host telephony platform: making calls, transferring calls, answering calls, and handling of telephony media streams.
These APIs rely on Java's built-in capability to manipulate locale-independent data, such as strings using Unicode multi-byte character set, and will hence allow the development of fully internationalized JTAPI-based applications.
None.
JTAPI is not a required part of an existing Java platform. Therefore it does not jeopardize existing platforms and extensions or any other Java standardization project.
Risk on the deliverable specifications are minimal since the technology already proven in JTAPI 1.x and JTAPI 1.4 is building on what exists.
This version of JTAPI renders JTAPI 1.3 obsolete.
