ColdFusion 9.0 Resources

IM gateway message sending commands

You use the SendGatewayMessage CFML function or the return value of a CFC listener method to send outgoing messages. The ColdFusion MX 7 IM gateway accepts the following outgoing message commands:

Command	Description
`submit`	(Default) Sends a normal message to another IM user.
`accept`	Accepts an add buddy request. Adds the buddy to the list of IDs that get your presence information and sends an acceptance message to the buddy ID.
`decline`	Declines an add buddy request and sends a rejection message to the buddy ID.
`noact`	Tells the gateway to take no action. The gateway logs a message that indicates that it took no action, and contains the gateway type, gateway ID, and buddy ID.

The message structure that you return in the gateway listener CFC function or use as the second parameter in the CFML SendGatewayMessage function can have the following fields. The table lists the fields and the commands in which they are used, and describes the field’s use.

Field	Commands	Description
`buddyID`	All	The destination user ID
`command`	All	The command; defaults to submit if omitted
`message`	submit	A text message to send to the destination user
`reason`	accept, decline	A text description of the reason for the action or other message to send to the add buddy requestor

In typical use, a ColdFusion application uses the accept, decline, and noact commands in the return value of the onAddBuddyRequest method, and uses the submit command (or no command, because submit is the default command) in SendGatewayMessage CFML functions and the return value of the onIncomingMessage CFC method.
