New Features
This section describes the following new features added to Instant Messaging in this release:
Updated and Improved Instant Messaging Client
New icons, streamlined features, and new XMPP functions, like multiple Instant Messaging sessions, presence features, subscription authorization, roster management, and logging capabilities.
The IETF eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)
With XMPP, Instant Messaging interoperates with the public networks through open source gateways. A user can aggregate contacts for all services on a client that supports XMPP (for example, GAIM and Exodus). In addition, XMPP support facilitates the integration of other third party applications as well as extensions of the existing functionality.
Enhanced Monitoring Features
The watchdog feature monitors if Instant Messaging is up or down, and it restarts the service if it is down. The Java Enterprise Service monitoring framework provides performance metrics on length of time for authentication, message delivery, and the number of instant messages sent through the service.
Re-architected Calendar Server Integration Support
How calendar notification is relayed as an instant message has changed from previous releases. New features include:
Troubleshooting Diagnostics for the Client
The About dialog box describes product copyright information. Additionally, the Details tab lists system, client, server, and session information that, in the event of a problem, end users can copy and paste into an email and send to their administrator or technical support center.
Multidomain functionality in News Channels and Conferences
News channels and conferences now support users from multiple domains.
New User Registration
You can now customize Instant Messenger to allow users to add themselves to the directory.
Simplified Sun Java™ System Access Manager Schema
The attributes sunPresenceDefaultAccess, sunPresenceEntityDefaultAccess, sunPresenceAccessDenied, sunPresenceEntityAccessDenied, sunPresenceAccessPermitted, and sunPresenceEntityAccessPermitted are obsolete.
