Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1. Overview

This module allows executing Java compiled classes from config file, exporting functions to access the SIP message from Java using Java Native Interface (JNI).

2. Dependencies

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

  • none.

2.2. External Libraries or Applications

The following packages are runtime libraries, required to launch

  • java-common Base of all Java packages.

  • default-jre Standard Java or Java compatible Runtime.

3. Java runtime

3.1. JRE or JDK is required to use this module

Java runtime library (JRE and JDK for building app_java) is required to use this module.

4. Parameters

4.1. class_name (string)

The class name should have the same compiled file name. If the value is "Kamailio", then the compiled file should be named as "Kamailio.class".

Default value is Kamailio.

Example 1.1. Set class_name parameter

...
modparam("app_java", "class_name", "Kamailio")
...

4.2. child_init_method (string)

TBD.

Default value is child_init.

...
modparam("app_java", "child_init_method", "my_mod_init")
...

4.3. java_options (string)

Java options for Java Virtual Machine. For more info read java docs

Default value is -Djava.compiler=NONE.

Example 1.3. Set java_options parameter

...
modparam("app_java", "java_options", "-Djava.compiler=NONE")
...

Example 1.4. Set java_options parameter (live configuration)

...
# Assumes "application java folder" is located at /opt/kamailio/java
modparam("app_java", "java_options", "-Djava.compiler=NONE

    /opt/kamailio/java:/opt/kamailio/java/kamailio.jar")
...

4.4. force_cmd_exec (int)

This parameter forces execution a kamailio comnmand with java native method KamExec. # Note: this is an untested yet feature, may cause (but may not) a memory leaks if used from embedded languages.

Default value is 0 (off).

Example 1.7. Set force_cmd_exec parameter

...
modparam("app_java", "force_cmd_exec", 1)
...

5. Functions

5.1.  Common requirements

Each function has a required parameter method_signature. For more info see Determine the signature of a method. Signature represents the variable type. The mapping between the Java type and C type is

		Type     Chararacter 
		boolean      Z 
		byte         B 
		char         C 
		double       D 
		float        F 
		int          I 
		long         J 
		object       L 
		short        S 
		void         V 
		Note that to specify an object, the "L" is followed by the 
		object's class name and ends with a semi-colon, ';' .

app_java supports the following signatures:

		Primitives: Z,B,C,D,F,I,J,L,S,V
		Objects: 
			Ljava/lang/Boolean;
			Ljava/lang/Byte;
			Ljava/lang/Character;
			Ljava/lang/Double;
			Ljava/lang/Float;
			Ljava/lang/Integer;
			Ljava/lang/Long;
			Ljava/lang/Short;
			Ljava/lang/String;
			NULL parameter: V

	Each parameter passed to function will be cast according to given signature.
	
	Parameters are optional, ommitting a parameter meant the passed value is NULL.
	Parameters count should be exactly the same as signature count.
	Note 1: Arrays representation (symbol '[') is not supported yet.
	Note 2: You shall use a correct signature, e.g. the following examples of
	combinations are invalid:
    	java_method_exec("ExampleMethod", "ZI", "False");
        java_method_exec("ExampleMethod", "LI", "something", "5");
