[Freeswitch-users] .NET Interaction

[David Knell]

Hi Christian,

I'd do it differently: I'm afraid that's one of the things about FS, 
that there's often no
single right way of doing something.

CDRs - I'd use mod_xml_cdr to write them to files, and then have 
something pull the files
from the directory and deal with them.  You're a bit more fault-tolerant 
that way than with
Jonas' suggestion.  Let me know if you'd like a bit of Perl which pulls 
them from the directory
and stashes them in a database - modifying it to post them to a web 
server is trivial. 

And the script itself - I'd write it in Perl and attach it to 
FreeSWITCH's event socket
interface, possibly using a socket-based (HTTP?) interface to query your 
SQL server
via a bit of C#, given the constraints that you've specified.  DO NOT use
FreeSWITCH::Client.pm as a basis for the script; it's crashed 
periodically in not terribly
heavy use.  Again, let me know if you want a framework that does all the 
FS-specific
bits: it's pretty alpha, but we're using it in production.

Hope this helps more than it confuses ;-)

Cheers --

Dave
