[JDEV] Java/XML

[Mike Prince]

I don't have a clear picture of what you're trying to accomplish.  That
said...

If you're responding to Jabber server events and then propogating them
to Jabber clients, then cut out the middleman (SQL db) by writing a
Jabber module or component and then stream the events straight to the
clients.

If you're caching/summarizing information and storing it in a db, then
you can still write a Jabber module or component to reap the data.  On
the flip side, write another module or client to detect when your flash
client comes online and then send them the data via XMPP.

Try to adhere to the old truism of keeping moving parts to a minimum.

I'm also not a big fan of scrounging through logs to guesstimate what's
going on.  Especially when Jabber has such a nice mechanism for gaining
access to the raw XML packets (or am I supposed to say stanza :)

Hope that helps,

Mike
