[JDEV] Java Jabber Server... Now usable :)

Matt,

I'm going to document this, but at the moment the approach is the former. The interface is as follows;

A Node object is an extension to my XML processor for which the javadoc is at http://www.alsutton.com/jabserv/docs/Node.html

As for licencing. I'm kind of hoping to get some money from this in order to pay for my web hosting costs (and take my wife out for a "thank you for putting up with me at the computer for hours on end" dinner). My current thought is distributing to those who donate to the project, although I'm open to discussion (off the list please).

I see the jabberserver.xdb.storageinterface paramter. 

This, of course, should point to a class, which 
handles xdb storage. Are you making this some
sort of abstract class/interface from which new
classes will be developed to directly handle
the various storage messages, where the backends
are directly written as Java classes, or is this
to become much like the existing server's xdb
component, one which can handle base_connect, 
base_accept, and base_exec style routing to
various xdb_backends.

And, if the case with the former, it needs not
be said that existing xdb backends would need
be rewritten (see: xdb_odbc, xdb_ldap, my own
xdb_java). 

Could it also be considered to have perhaps a
service class which defines external service
connections, and extend this functionality
into an xdb class, handling connects/accepts/
execs much like the current server behaves? 

Also: Decided on a license, yet? When can we
peek at your source?

All,

The first "useful" release of the Java Jabber server is now available. It
allows multiple users to login into the server, send messages between them,
and send subscription requests between them.

It does not currently report availability statuses to other users (this is
comming).

Its available from http://www.alsutton.com/jabserv/ 
The config options are detailed at
http://www.alsutton.com/jabserv/docs/configurationparameters.html

The links to other pages on the config options page are broken. This is also
being worked on.

Please download and enjoy,

Al.
