Essential JTAPI

Synopsis
Build industrial-strength telephony applications with Java. "Essential JTAPI" is a nuts-and-bolts, task-oriented tutorial and reference designed to help professional developers get results with JTAPI fast. This is a practical, code-rich guide to planning, building, and optimizing telephony software.

From the Back Cover
Build industrial-strength telephony applications on industry-standard platforms!
With the Java Telephony API (JTAPI), telecom vendors and service providers can leverage the full power of Java to build next-generation applications on virtually any hardware and software platform. Essential JTAPI is the first nuts-and-bolts, task-oriented tutorial and reference for getting results with JTAPI fast-regardless of your level of telephony applications experience.
Telephony development consultant Spencer Roberts introduces the JTAPI architecture, showing how JTAPI cooperating classes and core packages can serve as call models for building virtually any telephony application. You'll review JTAPI's object model, modular components, and class hierarchy-and discover how these can be used to construct advanced telephony applications with carrier-class reliability.
Roberts walks you step-by-step through building real-world telephony applications and Win32-JTAPI bindings. You'll learn how to use JTAPI extension packages for call control, media, private data, and more. Roberts shows you how to sidestep the key pitfalls of JTAPI development, optimize JTAPI performance in real-world applications, and much more. Essential JTAPI delivers:
*Complete lifecycle coverage: planning, architecture, implementation, and more.
*Extensive sample code, thoroughly explained.
*High-performance Windows telephony techniques using J/Direct and Microsoft's SDK for Java 2.0.
*Implementing asynchronous notification using threads, events, and callbacks in Java.
*No-punches-pulled coverage of when NOT to use Java.
