Storing and retrieving rosters, vcard, etc. is done with a xdb component
like you did originally.

<xdb id="xdbperl">
  <ns>jabber:iq:roster</ns>
  <host>localhost</host>
  <accept>
    ...
  </accept>
</xdb>

You will receive xdb packet in this form:

<xdb type="set" to="user1 at localhost/jabber:iq:roster" from="localhost">
  <query xmlns='jabber:iq:roster'>
    ...
  </query>
</xdb>

or

<xdb type="get" to="user1 at localhost/jabber:iq:roster" from="localhost id='8'"/>

For a successful set request simply send back this:

<xdb type="result" from="user1 at localhost/jabber:iq:roster" to="localhost"/>

Get requests will contain the requested data in the result:

<xdb type='result' from="user1 at localhost/jabber:iq:roster" to="localhost" id='8'>
  <query xmlns='jabber:iq:roster'>
    <item jid='something' subscription='both'/>
  </query>
</xdb>

If an error occurs you don't send anything back.  It is the responsibility of the
client to timeout xdb requests.
