live attendant feature issue

[Marco Colaneri]

Hi,

I found out an issue (bug) in the live attendant code.

In the file sipxecs/sipXivr/src/org/sipfoundry/attendant/LiveAttendantManagement.java,

the StringUtils.stripStart function is used to strip the feature prefix.

if (dialedNumber.startsWith(m_enablePrefix)) {

            dialedNumber = StringUtils.stripStart(dialedNumber, m_enablePrefix);

            enable = true;

        } else if (dialedNumber.startsWith(m_disablePrefix)) {

            dialedNumber = StringUtils.stripStart(dialedNumber, m_disablePrefix);

            enable = false;

        }

This function leads to wrong output when the prefix includes the first number of the Auto Attendant extension.

Consider the following example:

code prefix: *67

Auto Attendant extension: 6711

PIN 123

the "dialedNumber" is "*676711123" before applying stripStart function whose output is "11123" instead of the expected "6711123"...

I think that the stripStart function is not a good choice to strip the prefix, you could simply use the StingUtils substring function instead to fix the issue.

Can anyone fix it in the next releases? I'm not a developer and i don't know developer tools so I ask your help to fix it.

Thank you.

Marco.
