Not exactly if my understanding of jabber protocol is correct.
I beleive that the Jabber server acts simply as a router for messages whose destination is another server.
But in my case, the Jabber user is also an Application Server user. So I try to not constraint the user to log twice for example
I also want that some data already managed by the Application Server could be used as Jabber user's Data (vCard, Rosters, etc...).

My first starting point seems to be XDB module. If my understanding is correct I should have to patch or replace the default
xdb_file so that all persistent data could be completely managed by the Application Server.

But, in that case, what about authentication data for example. Should they really be retreived from the Application Server.
