[JDEV] Customizing Jabber server

[Gerard BUNEL]

Big Thanks for this answer
I can't really use xdb_java as its purpose is to do some JDBC
invocations.
But it's quite the same functionalities I was looking.
I didn't understand that it was possible do regsiter a foreign handler
to handle XDB requests.

Do you know if it's also possible for all type of requests ?
I'm, for example, interested in handling presence messages
