Hello,
 
We are trying to prototype receiving user presence from WebEx Connect (BTS environment). The developer successfully connected to the service and is able to get presence status for the logged-in user. However, the documentation was not clear on how to retrieve presence for other users (contacts) through the Jabberwerx API. It seems that names of the other contacts need to be added to a roster for the test user followed by a subscription to get presence.
 
Can you please help with code snippets or the API functions that can be used for retrieving presence of others / contacts?
 
Thank you

Hi,

I would like to use jabberwerx.TemporaryEntity(jid, cache), so that I can add a contact to the client.entitySet temporarly and get the presence of the user.
I am able to add the contact using the following code
var jid= 'abc@cisco.com'; //sample jid/string contact is not in my actual list of users. It a new contact for which I just wants its presence status
var entity = client.entitySet.entity(contact);
if(!entity){
entity = new jabberwerx.TemporaryEntity(jid, client.entitySet);
alert("entity.getDisplayName()-->"+entity.getDisplayName());
alert("entity.jid-->"+entity.jid);
alert("entity.properties-->"+entity.properties);
alert("entity.getPrimaryPresence() if-->"+entity.getPrimaryPresence()); //returns null
}
alert("entity.getPrimaryPresence() out-->"+entity.getPrimaryPresence());// returns null
But I am not able to retrieve the presence of this particular contact.
Could you please provide any code snippet that can help me in retrieving the presence of this particular contact. or what kind of event do I need to bind so that I can get the presence of this user.

Thanks
Haji
