[JDEV] Re: Components ids

[Francesco Delfino]

In the open source jabber server architecture, each component needs to deal
with a full domain name. With our instant messaging architecture (TIMP)
instead, you can plug different components on the same domain (so why we
call them plugins), still preserving the performance advantages of
components; maybe on the upcoming newer jabber releases and with other
jabber component libraries you can make even much more complicated component
addressing tecnique (e.g. based on XPaths): so it is not right to say that
components needs to be mapped to a full domain, while instead it is more
precise to say that the Jabber Reference implementation supports only this
kind of components (with its "built-in" API, you can always extend it
somehow to implement you component framework).
