[JDEV] iq question

[Chris Chen]

Technically, you should be giving each message (or ones that you're waiting 
on a reply for) a different ID rather than the same ID.  The way I do it is 
to have a global ID counter that increments every time it is 
called.  Jabber IM uses a string-based unique ID approach.  Any way works 
as long as the ID can be unique within your own context.

Thanks,
Chris
