[reSIProcate-users] FW: help getting started

[<pgoeleven@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The goal is a IM client with presence functionality and maybe basic instant messaging, but the most important part is multi-user VOIP (RTP) conferencing using SIP to set up the conference.
 
The problem I have is that I don't know the proper way of coding all that (I'm new to SIP/SDP/RTP).
 
So far I have made the following basic structure, as seen in the example apps:
 
- a Handler class, inheriting from public InviteSessionHandler, public ClientRegistrationHandler, public OutOfDialogHandler
- a user agent class, inheriting from Handler
- instanced a DialogUsageManager with the user agent class as session handler, client registration hander and out of dialog handler
 
This works and I got two clients talking to eachother. But it seems a bit contrived. I also do not know which of the functions in InviteSessionHandler for example correspond to the possible events in the RFC or when they occur.
 
I also do not know what AppDialogSet does exactly (I'm using it though as in the example). I take it one is created each time a dialog is started and used for the duration?
 
So basically: it works so far. I just don't know how to proceed and I totally lack a deeper understanding of the workings of resiprocate, which I can't find any proper reading material on.

Hi,

 

I would suggest that a good way to start is to ask any questions that you have here that you were unable to find in the documentation.

 

What type of project are you building (Soft phone, IM client, b2bua, proxy)?  What exactly are you having problems with?

 

To answer your concern about RFC compliance, the library is compliant with the listed RFC’s on the wiki.  Many applications can be built using DUM (Dialog Usage Manager) without having to worry about compliance.

Hi,
 
I have to use resiprocate in one of my projects but I'm having a difficult time starting out though since resiprocate is poorly documented. I have gone through the short example programs included with resiprocate, but they are rather bare-bones and not documented. I also did a lot of searching on the net for a tutorial on resiprocate specifically, but there is none to be found it seems. So at the moment I'm working in the dark: I've got the examples running, but I'm not sure what each component does or how it SHOULD be used and so I'm unable to proceed. Especially since correct implementation according to the RFC is particulary important in this project.
 
So my question is: is there some sort of tutorial on using resiprocate, or is there an example program that is more complete and better documented? I have encountered a lot of people's messages lamenting the poorly documented state of resiprocate and the wiki. Has no one gotten around to writing something up yet?
 
 
Thanks,
