[JDEV] Jabber Bot / Auto Contact Bot

[Edward Tsai]

Hi,

One issue I see is that I'm not sure that if I do a client on the web
(Java) - how am I supposed to be able to make sure that multiple people who
use / download the application works - like if I set a Jabber account login
/ reg in the Java applet/application, I don't want each time someone
downloads / runs the applet to sign someone else off. Any thoughts or anyone
have experience using a web interface to do Jabber stuff for multiple users
at once?
