parse_dial_string: Can't determine destination in chan_dongle

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
In extensions.conf add this
[dongle-outgoing]
exten => 1,1,Dial(${dial_string},${timeout})
2.
In my asterisk java code
factory = new ManagerConnectionFactory("127.0.0.1", "myloginusername", "mypwd");
            outgoingCallManager = factory.createManagerConnection();
            outgoingCallManager.login();
            originateAction = new OriginateAction();
            originateAction.setChannel("Dongle/dongle0");
            originateAction.setContext("dongle-outgoing");
            originateAction.setExten("1");
            originateAction.setAsync(true);
            originateAction.setPriority(new Integer(1));
            originateAction.setVariable("dial_string","Dongle/dongle0/1234567890");
            originateAction.setTimeout(new Integer(30));
//          originateAction.setVariable("customernum", "+911234567890") ; // replace 
1234567890 with correct number
            response = outgoingCallManager.sendAction(originateAction, 30000) ;
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that the call will go through and I will be able to collect dtmf from 
the customer.

What I see is
  == Manager 'jsiddharth' logged on from 127.0.0.1

I get something similar. Incoming calls and texts working fine. Outgoing calls 
get unobtainable. Get result:-

Read asterisk-java documentation carefully.

Also look to channel originate CLI command
.setChannel() must contain all info for dialing

also may be your
.setContext("dongle-outgoing");
.setExten("1");
.setPriority(new Integer(1));

also wrong, because will execute when call will be answered!
I.e. Application or dialplan create local leg of call.

I see you can call again instread.

So, problem in your understanding of asterisk-java.
