IM gateway Integration

Question

Is there any resource that I can reference to integration IM between 2 users or many users in a website-like its used in dating sites.

All the blogs that I have read about ColdFusion event gateway, mostly talks about bots where a user sends messages to a bot which listens for a request thought a config file. However, when there are many users trying to communication this wouldnt' be the case.

I would like to send message directly to a user from a user.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

There are few coldfusion chat applications out there this can be done . They may need bit of modifications to remove “lobby” functions, so you can only use user to user chat.

If that is user to user chat (like in facebook), you may want to keep last few lines of chat in a file/db/or memory by the user id, and fetch them back to the user(s) using ajax requests in every second or so. at least that is the principle behind all those chat applications.
