Java Telephony API
Revision 1.1
January 31, 1997
Nomenclature
This document is the culmination of publicly reviewed design
cycles. One consequence of this
is that the Java Telephony API has been refered to variously throughout
earlier documents. Please understand that Javatel,
JTT and the Java Telephony Toolkit are names that have been used synonymously
for Java Telephony API or JTAPI.
What is JTAPI?
The Java Telephony API specifies the standard
telephony application programming interface for computer-telephone
applications under Java. It is the definition for a reuseable set
of call control objects that bring cross-platform and
cross-implementation portability to telephony applications.
It is a simple, extensible, object-oriented model that addresses a broad
range of computer-telephony tasks.
The Java Telephony API represents the combined efforts of design teams from
Sun, Lucent,
Nortel, Novell, Intel, and IBM, all operating under the direction of JavaSoft.
As of the 1.1 release, JTAPI is moving to a working group under ECTF. More
information about this transition will appear on future versions of this
page.
