Building Sametime-Enabled Applications

Advanced

Sametime Links

Integrate Sametime

into workflow

applications

This IBM Redbook builds upon two existing Redbooks: Working

with Sametime Client Toolkits, SG24-6666 and Working with the

Sametime Community Server Toolkit, SG24-6667. Focusing on

the latest toolkits available for IBM Lotus Instant Messaging and

Lotus Web Conferencing (Sametime) 3, it explores Sametime as

a development platform, illustrating how to extend the

functionality of Sametime beyond its more commonly known

instant messaging and e-meeting hosting features.

It provides a detailed technical discussion and examples for

building and integrating Sametime real-time collaborative

capabilities, presence awareness, and Web conferencing

capabilities into both new and existing applications. In-depth

discussions and code examples are provided for topics such as

building custom bots, leveraging Sametime functionality through

Web Services, and integrating Sametime into workflow

applications. Additionally, this redbook reveals how you can

customize (brand) your organization’s Sametime Meeting Center

to more closely match the company’s identity. Finally, thorough

analysis is given to the topics of Sametime Links and the

Sametime Places architecture. Several samples of Sametime

applications, with source code, are included.

Ultimately, we hope this redbook will help you better appreciate

how your organization may benefit by more effectively leveraging

Sametime.
