Abstract

Today various collaborative document management systems for e-learning support are in the market. Although rich featured programs like e.g. shared whiteboard clients are available for these environments, users tend to use the integrated restraining HTML-based web interfaces. Often the installation and configuration of the software is the reason for not using the more comfortable client software. By the example of a shared whiteboard application we present our solution for configuring e-learning applications to use certain services available in the network. Our solution is a framework for any Java based application. Because the basis technology applies to open standards of the IETF it is open to any other programming language.
