Understanding Java Telephony  Edited by Edwin Margulies, 873 pages,  First Edition, January, 1997  $34.95 Code P31001  ISBN 1-57820-003-2

This book covers the Java Telephony API (JTAPI), the JTAPI Call Model, JAVA Architecture, Programming Examples and SunXTL Teleservices Architecture.

Some of the most impressive computing platforms available are based on Sun. Now, with help from JavaSoft, design teams from IBM, Intel, Lucent, Nortel and Novell and have created the Java Telephony API (JTAPI). It's the standard telephony application programming interface for computer telephone applications under Java. JTAPI provides the definition for a set of reusable telephone call control objects. With it, you get application portability across platforms and implementations. Read this book to learn how JTAPI offers telephony interface extension packages to accommodate custom, yet portable apps. Learn how JTAPI interfaces will soon hook to SunXTL, Microsoft and Intel TAPI, Novell and Lucent TSAPI and IBM Call Path. Use JTAPI to design: killer apps for power users and road warriors; call center solutions; unified messaging; voice-enabled Web pages and Internet Telephony.
