Summary:  You've heard the hype about Second Life®, and how it's becoming the environment of choice for ... well ... everything, it seems. But work can't stop just because you want to hang out. Fortunately, the IBM® Lotus® Sametime® Software Development Kit (SDK) and Second Life scripting make it possible to combine the two. This tutorial shows you how to create a Sametime bot that listens for conversations in Second Life and relays them to your IBM Lotus Sametime Connect client or vice-versa, making it possible to let people alert you when you're needed, but you're not "in-world" as well as to be in-world without missing important conversations.

Summary

In this tutorial, you learn how to connect a Lotus Sametime and Second Life conversation by creating a Sametime bot that can carry on a conversation by listening for and relaying text. You connected that bond to a servlet, which both received and output messages. Finally, you created an object in Second Life that listens for text chat speech and relays to the bot via the servlet. It also periodically checks to pick up any messages left for it in a queue.
