ApplicationEndPoint in UCMA applications

Question

I have an application which uses UCMA for getting the status of the lync users.

I have a clarification . I have downloaded the sample application which inherits a class as follows:

public class UcPresenceProvider : Microsoft.Rtc.Collaboration.Samples.HTMLPresenceControls.Service.IPresenceProvider
    {

  public UcPresenceProvider(ApplicationEndpoint endpoint)
        {
            m_applicationEndpoint = endpoint;
        }
}

From a layman's point of view, what will be the value for the ApplicationEndpoint endpoint would be .

I just need the status of a logged in user thats it .

Answer 1

It will be one of the trusted application endpoints you have added to this UCMA application when you provisioned it on the SfB/Lync.

If you are only interested in the presence of a single user then it maybe that the UCMA is overkill, you may want to consider using the Client SDK.

// Gateway participant that impersonates a phone user
// _gatewayEndpoint = _helper.CreateApplicationEndpoint(
// "GatewayParticipant" /*endpointFriendlyName*/);

public ApplicationEndpoint CreateApplicationEndpoint(string contactFriendlyName)
    {
        string prompt = string.Empty;

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(contactFriendlyName))
        {
            contactFriendlyName = "Default Contact";
        }

        Console.WriteLine();
        Console.WriteLine("Creating Application Endpoint {0}...", contactFriendlyName);
        Console.WriteLine();

        // If application settings are provided via the app.config file, then use them
        // Else prompt user for details
        if (!ReadApplicationContactConfiguration())
        {
            // Prompt user for server FQDN. If server FQDN was entered before, then let the user use the saved value.
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_serverFqdn))
            {
                prompt = "Please enter the FQDN of the Microsoft Lync Server for this topology => ";
                _serverFqdn = PromptUser(prompt, null);
            }

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_applicationHostFQDN))
            {

            if (0 >= _applicationPort)

                _applicationGruu = PromptUser(prompt, null);

                _applicationContactURI = PromptUser(prompt, null);
                if (!_applicationContactURI.Trim().StartsWith(_sipPrefix, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
                {

        }

        // Reuse platform instance so that all endpoints share the same platform.
        if (_serverCollabPlatform == null)
        {
            CreateAndStartServerPlatform();
        }

        // Initalize and register the endpoint.
        // NOTE: the _applicationContactURI should always be of the form "sip:user@host"

        _endpointInitCompletedEvent.Reset();

        Console.WriteLine("Establishing the endpoint...");
        _applicationEndpoint.BeginEstablish(EndEndpointEstablish, _applicationEndpoint);

        // Sync; wait for the registration to complete.
        _endpointInitCompletedEvent.WaitOne();
        Console.WriteLine("Application Endpoint established...");
