Using the Instant Messaging Event Gateways

You can develop an application that uses either of two instant message (IM) event gateway types provided with Adobe ColdFusion: an IBM Lotus Sametime gateway, and an Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) gateway.

Before you use the IM event gateways, become familiar with ColdFusion event gateway principles and programming techniques (see Using Event Gateways).
