1. Getting mcuWeb.sar

1.1 Download binary from sourceforge

The binary release of the application can be found on sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcumediaserver/files/mcumediaserver/

Please note that the binary file is usually released for every subversion commit with mayor changes to the mcuWeb. If you still want to use the very latest version in the repository, you will have to compile it from sources as described in the next chapter.

1.2 Compile it from source

First you need to download the apache xmlrpc library and make sure that you have sailfin installed in your server. Obviously java JDK and ant are also needed.

#
# External source code checkout
#
  
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/mcumediaserver/code/trunk/ medooze

The next step is to retreive the latest version from the reopository.

Edit the project properties to match your library directories. In /usr/local/src/medooze/XmlRpcMcuClient/nbproject/project.properties:

file.reference.commons-logging-1.1.jar=/usr/local/apache-xmlrpc-3.1.3/lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar
file.reference.ws-commons-util-1.0.2.jar=/usr/local/apache-xmlrpc-3.1.3/lib/ws-commons-util-1.0.2.jar
file.reference.xmlrpc-client-3.1.3.jar=/usr/local/apache-xmlrpc-3.1.3/lib/xmlrpc-client-3.1.3.jar
file.reference.xmlrpc-common-3.1.3.jar=/usr/local/apache-xmlrpc-3.1.3/lib/xmlrpc-common-3.1.3.jar

In /usr/local/src/medooze/mcuWeb/nbproject/project.properties:

file.reference.commons-logging-1.1.jar=/usr/local/apache-xmlrpc-3.1.3/lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar
file.reference.ssa-api.jar=/usr/local/sailfin/lib/ssa-api.jar
file.reference.ws-commons-util-1.0.2.jar=/usr/local//apache-xmlrpc-3.1.3/lib/ws-commons-util-1.0.2.jar
file.reference.xmlrpc-client-3.1.3.jar=/usr/local/apache-xmlrpc-3.1.3/lib/xmlrpc-client-3.1.3.jar
file.reference.xmlrpc-common-3.1.3.jar=/usr/local/apache-xmlrpc-3.1.3/lib/xmlrpc-common-3.1.3.jar
file.reference.XmlRpcMcuClient.jar=../XmlRpcMcuClient/dist/XmlRpcMcuClient.jar

And now compile both projects:

cd /usr/local/src/medooze/XmlRpcMcuClient
ant

cd /usr/local/src/medooze/mcuWeb
ant -Dj2ee.server.home=/usr/local/sailfin -Dlibs.CopyLibs.classpath=/usr/share/netbeans/java4/ant/extra/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar

2. Deployment in an SIP Application Server

2.1 Using Mobicents SIP Application Server

Mobicents SIP Servlets is a modern communications middleware platform and implements the latest SIP Servlet v1.1 (JSR 289) standard. It can be plugged into any Application Server container (currently 7.X and JBoss 7.X) and also offers High Availability and Failover. It also supoprts SIP over websockets.

Installing MSS 3.0

The first step is to download and install sun JDK 1.6 and mss 3.0.

#
#Installing Mobicents
#
cd /usr/local
wget https://mobicents.ci.cloudbees.com/job/MobicentsSipServlets-Release/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/mss-3.0.564-jboss-as-7.2.0.Final.zip
unzip mss-3.0.564-jboss-as-7.2.0.Final.zip
mv mss-3.0.564-jboss-as-7.2.0.Final mss-3.0.0

You can check the latest version of MSS here: https://mobicents.ci.cloudbees.com/job/MobicentsSipServlets-Release/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/

To run mss server just:

#
cd /usr/local/mss-3.0.0/bin/
./standalone.sh -c standalone-sip.xml -b <listening IP address>

Deploy mcuWeb and configure routing

In order to deploy the mcuWeb into Mobicents Sip Servlet, all is needed is to rename the mcuWeb.sar file to mcuWeb.war and copy to the autopdeploy directory

cp mcuWeb.sar /usr/local/mss-2.0.0/standalone/deployments/mcuWeb.war

Once deployed you will ned to setup the SIP servlet routing to make the mcuWeb application handle the sip traffic. This is done via the mobicents sip servlet management console available at http://ip:port/sip-servlets-management

2.2 Using Sailfin SIP Aplication Server

SailFin is based on robust and scalable SIP servlets technology open sourced by Ericsson on top of a deployment-quality, Java EE-based GlassFish by Sun. JSR 289 updates the SIP Servlets API and defines a standard application programming model to mix SIP Servlets and Java EE components.

Given that Sailin project has been discontinued we discourage to its usage.

Installing Sailfin

The first step is to download and install sun JDK 1.6 and install the Sailfin server.

#
#Installing Sailfin 
#

cd /usr/local
wget http://download.java.net/javaee5/sailfin/v2_branch/promoted/Linux/sailfin-installer-v2-b31g-linux.jar
java -Xmx256m -jar sailfin-installer-v2-b31g-linux.jar 

cd sailfin
chmod -R +x lib/ant/bin
lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml 

Once installed, we will add a start script. Create a new mcuWeb file under /etc/init.d and copy the following.

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          mcuWeb
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: mcuWeb startup script
# Description:       mcuWeb startup script
### END INIT INFO

# Author: Sergio Garcia Murillo “sergio.garcia@fontventa.com”

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

# Exit if the package is not installed
[ -x "$DAEMON" ] || exit 0

# Read configuration variable file if it is present
[ -r /etc/default/$NAME ] && . /etc/default/$NAME


#
# Function that starts the daemon/service
#
do_start()
{
        # Return
        #   0 if daemon has been started
        #   1 if daemon was already running
        #   2 if daemon could not be started
        $DAEMON $START_ARGS || return 2
}

#
# Function that stops the daemon/service
#
do_stop()
{
        # Return
        #   0 if daemon has been stopped
        #   1 if daemon was already stopped
        #   2 if daemon could not be stopped
        $DAEMON $STOP_ARGS || return 2
}

case "$1" in
  start)
        [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"
        do_start
        case "$?" in
                0|1) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Done" ;;
                2) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Failed" ;;
        esac
        ;;
  stop)
        [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Stopping $DESC" "$NAME"
        do_stop
        case "$?" in
                0|1) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Done" ;;
                2) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Failed" ;;
	esac
        ;;
  restart|force-reload)
        #
        # If the "reload" option is implemented then remove the
        # 'force-reload' alias
        #
        echo "Restarting $DESC" "$NAME"
        do_stop
        case "$?" in
          0|1)
                do_start
                case "$?" in
                        0) echo "Done" ;;
                        1) echo "Old process is still running" ;; # Old process is still running
                        *) echo "Failed to start" ;; # Failed to start
                esac
                ;;
          *)
                # Failed to stop
                echo "Failed"
                ;;
        esac
        ;;
  *)
        #echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}" >&2
        echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
        exit 3
        ;;
esac

Let’s configure the service to start automatically at the desired runleves and start the default Sailfin domain:

chmod 777 /etc/init.d/mcuWeb
/sbin/chkconfig --level 35 mcuWeb on
service  mcuWeb start

Configure Sailfin and deploy mcuWeb

Login into the Sailfin admin consoling available in http://[ip]:4848/

login
User: admin.
Default password: adminadmin

If you want to to change the http listening port you can do it under Configuration > http-listener-1

listener

It is also possible to change also the listening ports for the SIP protocol that will be listening on the default 5060 one to avoid conflicts with anyother SIP server running in the same server (as Asterisk). First we will change the SIP port assigned to the container under Configuration > Sip container

listener2

Change the following values

Sip Port: 5070
Secure Sip Port: 5071

And then the set the listening port under Configuration > SIP Listener > sip-listener-1

listener3

And under Configuration > SIP Listener > sip-listener-2

listener4

Now we will install the mcuWeb application in the Sailfin server.Go to Applications > Converged Sip Modules and click deploy

deploy

Choose the local file and deploy it

deploy2

The mcuWeb interface will be ready under http://[ip]/mcuWeb

mcuWeb

3. SIP Server integration

3.1 Asterisk integration

First, enable general video support in the sip configuration.

videosupport=yes

Add the SIP Application Server as a peer to the sip configuration. Add the following should be added to the sip.conf or to the sip_custom.conf. Make sure to change IP and port to match your actual deployment.

[mcuWeb]
videosupport=yes
type=peer
host=127.0.0.1
port=5070
canreinvite=no
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=speex
allow=h263
allow=h263p
allow=h264

The only step left is to forward the desired extensions to be used as conferences to the Sailfin server in the dialplan. For example to forward all 3XX extensions just add the following to the extension.conf or to the extension_custom.conf. Change the context to match your current default or custom content.

[from-sip-external]
exten => _3XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@mcuWeb,,)
