[JDEV] Exposing an interal Jabber server to external Corba client

[Paul Power]

 Hi all,
 
 I'm new to Jabber so please forgive me if I'm 
 asking daft questions.
 
 We currently have a large ASP like system 
 serving security concious customer client
 screens. I have a requirement for a reasonably
 complex chat function whereby each client 
 screen can chat to the other screens on 
 selected ( often short lived ) topics. In 
 addition I need to be able to persist the 
 conversation contents.

 
 If I could use jabber to the client desktop
 all I would have to do is set up a server and 
 when a new topic is created add a listener to  
 persist the conversation contents.

 However because the clients will be behind
 corporate firealls ( banks ) and, 
 understandably, adverse to opening extra 
 ports etc. I will need to reuse the existing
 Corba/IIOP connection that the client 
 already uses.
 
 I suppose my question is,
 - has anyone already exposed jabber via 
   Corba (Java or C++) and are there
   examples I can find so I can implement 
   my own chat screen ( embedded in the 
   client screen )
 - Is there a better, simpler way of 
   persisting each chat conversation to a 
   databse ( Oracle ) other than adding a 
   listener who's function is to log everything
   it hears.
 - How heavy, resource wise, is a typical 
   Jabber server on Solaris.
 
 thanks in advance,
 
 Paul
