Compatibility Issues

Communication Channels

The Server and Port properties are missing for configuring the properties of the Instant Messaging (IM) channel. Because all communication happens with the multiplexor, the server and port settings have been removed from the provider. This is an incompatibity between the Java System Enterprise 2 and Java Enterprise System 4 release.
