[JDEV] XDB (external modules)

[Colin Madere]

was: [JDEV] FreeBSD and MIO

I'm missing something.

- Set up XDB tag like below
- put in custom namespace
- run jabberd

all seems ok, "myxdbservice" shows up in the jabberd startup

I thought that what I had to do now was write a program which connects via a
socket to port 7001 and when a request gets routed to this xdb service due
to the registered namespace it would send that request.  The external module
(Java program in this case) does a read operation on the socket and should
wait until it gets data to continue.

But... all I get is a timeout.  jabberd debug states it and my Java program
gets a correctly formed XML "TimeOut" error message sent to it from jabberd.
Leaving input stream timeout to default in Java program (indefinite).

Appears as though JabberD is waiting for something from the Java xdb module,
but this seems backwards, what am I missing?

Ah, thanks! That makes much more sense and sounds fun I am going to play
with that tonight.

Thanks!

Nope.

<xdb id="xdbjava.localhost">
  <ns>jabber:iq:roster</ns>
  <accept>
    <ip/>
    <port>7001</port>
    <secret>test</secret>
  </accept>
</xdb>

Here's a post I made which briefly outlines the XDB interface:
