[JDEV] How to create a new protocol?

[Peter Gebauer]

Hello!

I want to create my own protocol, but there is no documentation on how to
do this.

Client sends:
<iq type="get" from="client at server" to="mycomponent.server">
 <query xmlns="jabber:mycomponent:party"/>
</iq>

Server returns:
<iq type="result" from="mycomponent.server" to="client at server">
 <query xmlns="jabber:mycomponents:party">
  <party type="hacker party">
   <participant>
    <name>John Carmack</name>
   </participant>
   <participant>
    <name>Alan Cox</name>
   </participant>
  </party>
 </query>
</iq>

But no matter what data I send back to the client, Jabber strips any
elements (subnodes to query) that are not included in an already existing
XML name space.

How do I define my own name space and tell Jabber what data is valid in
that name space.

When I test this Jabber returns my query with TWO instances of
the attribute xmlns="jabber:mycomponents:party" in the query element and
none of the subnodes in the query element.

I can return vcards, time, last and other data in already defined name
spaces, how do I create my own?
