[JDEV] jabber and MySQL and huh?

[Thomas Charron]

    Jabber does not require MySQL.  The reason that there is quite alot of
data in the config file regarding MySQL is becouse the MySQL provider
is/will be dynamic enough to allow great configurability.  The default file
based configuration requires little configuration, and hence, has a very
small section..  ;-P

    One a side note, one of the reason that the MySQL section *IS* so big is
becouse it can be configured for any database, and hence, users can
dynamically implement the database as they see fit.  A perfect example would
be user validation, based an an already existent datasource..

    To see the file based access stuffs, look in /var/spool/jspool (Not sure
if this is the exact location).
