[JDEV] Client side scripting - a skeletal prototype

[Al Sutton]

All,

I have a skeletal prototype of the a rules engine written in Java (i.e. some
rules, no UI). I'd like to check I'm heading down the right path.

As I see it people should be able to define actions based on the following
things coming to their JID;

- A message
- A subscription request
- A conference request

The fields of the Jabber data message that affect what action can be taken
are;

- Who it is from
- If the message contains some particular text
- If the message subject contains some particular text
- If the sender is in the roster or not.
- If the user is in a specific group in the roster.

And the actions to be performed are;

- Forward to another JID (may just be forwarding to another resource on the
same JID).
- Forward the message to an Email address.
- Send a reply message (pulling the data from either a static message, file,
or URL).
- Drop the message.
- Log the message to a file.
- (in the case of subscription) accept the subscription request.
- Issue a subscription request to the sender.

How does this sound? I'll probably have some code up by tomorrow night for
people to pull down and play with.

Al.
