# Asterisk Project : Dialplan Fundamentals

Added by malcolmd , edited by mdavenport on Sep 23, 2010

The dialplan is essential to the operation of any successful Asterisk system. In this module, we'll help you learn the fundamental components of the Asterisk dialplan, and how to combine them to begin scripting your own dialplan. We'll also add voice mail and a dial-by-name directory features to your dialplan.

Woops, again me! sorry for my newbie questions! am looking for a way to call a web service via the dialplans! it seems that the shell application is suitable enough to start such a work! but is there any other application like the MYSQL to talk with WebServices? and how about the mysqlApplication! how can i use mysql futures like persistence connections, instead on open/close the connections for each query on DB?
