application can send an e-mail or an instant message to the user, notifying themabout the problem report document.To implement this status checking feature within a workflow application, we canchoose from at least two available techniques:►This feature could be implemented by using the Java Toolkit, essentiallycreating a Java agent that uses the Sametime Java Toolkit features to checkfor user availability. For a complete example on how to implement statuschecking functionality using this method, please refer to 6.3, “TheAnnouncementSender application” on page 141. There you will find step bystep instructions on how to implement a Sametime enabled workflowapplication.Note: While we are using a Notes application for this specific example, theuse of this technique is not by any means restricted to Notes basedapplications only. The techniques described at 6.3, “TheAnnouncementSender application” on page 141 are Java compliantmethods. Accordingly, this approach can be used in any Java basedapplication environment.►The second approach to checking a user’s online status is to use a <strong>Web</strong>service. From an architectural perspective, this approach has significantadvantage. Using a <strong>Web</strong> service, the logic of querying the user status withinthe Sametime environment can be re-utilized by any application within theenterprise.For a complete example on how to implement an workflow application using a<strong>Web</strong> service, please refer to 6.4, “The AnnouncementSender <strong>Web</strong> service” onpage 148. There you find step-by-step instructions on how to implement aSametime-enabled workflow application.13.7 Phase 3: Expanding to outside worldWith Sametime features working to help increase productivity for FMEemployees, FME now wishes to shift its focus and expand these tools to itsoutside customer base. Using Sametime Toolkits, we extend the functionality tocreate a more direct and efficient link between the external customers and theinternal employees.The following upcoming sections discuss how FME would implement newfunctionality to help its customers:► Section 13.7.1, “Provide users with self service tools” on page 393392 <strong>Lotus</strong> <strong>Instant</strong> <strong>Messaging</strong>/<strong>Web</strong> <strong>Conferencing</strong> (Sametime): Building Sametime-Enabled Applications
