can you explain what the differences are when you say "avp stored in the
transaction" and process variables ?
do you literally mean variables in my module here, or are these some kind
of structure attached to the sip_msg ?
Read the docs on AVPs, shared variables (shv) process variables (var).
They are all stored in different memory and related to different things.
Thanks, Ill look into these.
effectively what im looking to do is store some
custom data
against sip_msg* that I can use later if I need to.
When is later? In another request or in the response to the same request?
If there's a stateful transaction,
AVPs are reachable in response processing.
Sorry... by later, I mean, later while processing the same message.
Not later on in the call, in that case I know it must be persisted in a
dialog.
my reason for doing a module is that I had a few things I wanted to do in a
module ( looking up large data structures for
performance reasons ), and im
implementing a few other bits of business logic in this module.
Still doesn't explain why you need to code it in c and make it a modules.
You can do a lot in the existing
logic.
Fair call, I know I can do a lot in kamailio, its quite surprising
actually what you can do.
Ill re-evaluate my reasons for writing a module.
im happy to discuss further if you want to gtalk me (
on this email
address )
I would suggest that you read up on the available docs and then find us in
the IRC channel where we try to be available and answer when it works for
us. If you really need fast help and responses, many of us are available as
consultants.
Ill try IRC again, but yea... there were not many people around last I was
on there :)
I understand maybe time zones didnt work, or people were too busy.
In general, you have to be a bit more exact in your
questions to get good
answers on -dev, a bit less on -users. Your original e-mail was a bit too
inexact so it wasn't easy to answer, which lead to everyone thinking that
someone else may understand and may answer... Before reposting to a
mailing list, try to figure out why no one answered and add information to
make it easier to answer.
Fair enough, sorry for being vague.
