Re: using tapi to dial a phone number from richui egl application

["tim" <tim2006@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nathan, 

I was just giving some info about what our system is doing.

Yes, I want to dial from the users phone. We have IPOffice from Avaya. Our
current system (rpg and C on local pc's that does the dialing) dials the
phone for the user.  I have been developing a richui application to replace
our green screen. Im not sure how dial the phone from the web app. I cant
execute a local program from my richui application, and im not sure what
would need to be done on the web server.

Tim,

What do you mean by "All backend processing is done on an iseries"?  Is it
even relevant?  Do you want to dial from a user's phone?  Or dial from a
Windows application -  using a headset connected to the PC sound card?

Nathan.

I've created a RichUI application in which I'd like to add the ability to
dial a phone number when a phone number is clicked. 



This logic currently exists in a legacy rpg program by way of a call to a C
application residing on the users pc that dials the number. 



The web application exists on windows server 2003 that is running Apache
Tomcat/6.0.18.  All backend processing is done on an iseries. The phone
system is avaya.



Im not sure how to accomplish this. I was hoping someone could point me in
the right direction.
