[JDEV] Question from a student

[Bain Kennedy]

Or...

You could write a regular app that first handles the client/server initial recieve question, send answer.  After you finish that, write an outer class that handles the communication to and from the Jabber Server. 

Or...

Jabberbeans is an easy enough library to learn, you can use the jabberbean event model to process the question and however you get your response (from a database, textfile, or whatever method you choose), resend it...

You could write a plugin for chatbot, a perl based jabber bot. See
http://chatbot.jabberstudio.org/

There are some example plugins, some with database interface.

Hope that helps,
