Since you are on a Windows platform anyway - you could also look at mod_managed, that would allow you build the application code in C#. The access to your existing DB would potentially remain the same. It would be quite easy to spin a monitor thread in C# and monitor a DB for new calls and dispatch those calls etc.<div>

We currently have this working on a Windows/Dialogic platform, but would<br>
like to get it over to FreeSWITCH for a number of reasons.  It is always<br>
nice to avoid spending alot of time developing using a method that you<br>
later find has serious issues or limitations and then having to change<br>
horses and start over.  I just thought I would tap on someone else&#39;s<br>
wisdom in regards to a good way to talk to FS that works well.  I did<br>
notice that the wiki talks like LUA is the preferred way to go.<br>

&gt;     ESL and<br>

&gt;     Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Questions on Building an application<br>
&gt;     forFreeSWITCHI am looking for a boot in the right direction on the<br>
&gt;     following project.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     I am looking to build an &quot;application&quot; with FS where it will<br>
&gt;     frequently<br>
&gt;     check a database and then make an outbound call when a record with<br>
&gt;     certain conditions is found in the DB.  It needs to determine if the<br>
&gt;     call was then answered by a machine/vm, busy, or answered by a person,<br>
&gt;     play a message and get a response back to be recorded in the db.<br>
&gt;      It may<br>
&gt;     find many calls that need to be made at the same time.  It will be<br>
&gt;     running on a PRI.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     I am confused as to what approach to use to accomplish this.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     Lua Script, Perl Script, Javascript, Phython, PHP, Ruby....etc.<br>
&gt;     Liverpie, ESL....etc.<br>
&gt;     Or a totally different approach.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     I realize that there is not only one &quot;correct&quot; way to build this,<br>
&gt;     but I<br>
&gt;     am looking for advise from those who have done this type of thing<br>
&gt;     before.  I value the opinion of those who have gone down this road and<br>
&gt;     would be willing to share their thoughts on a recommended path to take<br>
&gt;     to accomplish this.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     Thanks<br>
