customAwayMsg

A text string containing a custom message for the status. Can be the empty string if you do not need a custom away message.

Returns

True, if the operation was successful; False. otherwise. Passing an invalid status for the protocol causes this method to return False.

Usage

Do not use the setStatus method to go offline. Although the method accepts a parameter of OFFLINE, the gateway immediately resets itself to be online. To set the gateway offline, stop the gateway instance in the ColdFusion Administrator, or use the stopGatewayInstance method in the CFIDE.adminapi.eventgateway CFC.

Example

See  GatewayHelper example in Using the GatewayHelper object in the Developing ColdFusion Applications, which uses all GatewayHelper class methods.
