[JDEV] Formatting a message sent via Java

[Chris Chen]

Hi,

First of all, you should try upgrading to the newest Jabber API, 0.8a3 last
time I released it and if my memory serves me correctly.

Second of all, there is a method inside Muse Jabber that allows you to set
the XHTML text for the message you're sending.  Note that the forum message
link you wrote in your previous is a rather old format and is not longer
valid.  The new XHTML has its own X namespace to put the XHTML text in

Because XHTML is part of the X Namespace and is not normally used, you will
have to create an instance of your own message object and send it manually
rather than going through the JabberChatService.  You should read the
javadocs for JabberChatService as well as
JabberChatService.sendPrivateMessage(). It will tell you what to do.

But as a summary,

1) Instantiate a JabberChatMessage, set it's properties and fields (you can
check out the code for JabberChatService.sendPrivateMessage() to see what
kind of fields are set).  You should set the asynchronicity of the message
(normally it's send asynchronously).

2) you should call JabberChatMessage.setHTMLBody() to set the XHTML text to
send.

3) Then you simply send the message through JabberSession.sendMessage().

That's pretty much it.

Hope it helps.

Chris
