#40 Buddy List Refresh

[BrettvG]

In Sametime Connect, if a back-end process, like a bot,
add somebody to the buddy list of a user the Connect
client immediately refreshes and shows the change. With
Meanwhile you have to login again to get the change.
Can this be changed? Obviously Connect is monitoring an
event that causes this refresh.

The buddy list is stored on the server (via the Storage
Service). I do seem to remember that there's a way to
monitor a block in the storage service for modifications
from the publicly available Sametime documentation. I'll
definitely look into it, as this would be very useful.

think I found the protocol portions for this. It's something
I hadn't before implemented, called a One Time Message. The
storage service's channel can be closed, and the update
notification can still be sent via this message type,
without having to open a channel for it.

Meanwhile 2.0.0 will support this, and then it's a matter of
getting the plugins to work with it, too.
