IM Gateway CFC incoming message methods 1007
Example
The following example searches for the requested buddy’s name in a data source and, if it finds a
unique entry, adds the buddy and updates the buddy’s status information in an Application scope
buddyStatus structure. If it doesn’t find the name, it declines the buddy. If there are multiple
entries for the buddy name in the database, it tells the gateway not to respond. It logs all actions.
