asterisk users - Feb 2007 - How can I use "Asterisk Manager API" to hold and retrive an active call?

These are common functions. Why "Asterisk Manager" doesn't 
provide
commands to hold and retrive an active channel?
If it must be implemented by AGI, could anyone give a direction or
steps?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
James

Sure the Manager API provides all thing to do that.
Maybe you are just using the wrong library on top of the Manager API ;)

Asterisk-Java as an example lets you retrieve active channels, iterate
over them, hangup, redirect, ... whatever.

Example to hangup all active channels:

        for (AsteriskChannel channel : server.getChannels())
        {
		channel.hangup();
        }

http://asterisk-java.org

I am sure other libraries provide similar abstraction.
