[JDEV] Re: Problem in connecting to jabberd

[Rajeev]

Thanks for the response Van. I'm working on Java to build the chat client.
The jabberd  is on Linux.

I've read an old document from jabber.org. There is an XML tag for server
connection. To connect to the server, client simply use a standard XML
stream to the server on TCP port 5222..

I'm making the connection through the socket class. How would jabberd makes
intial connection and responds after making the connections. Do i need to
send the XML prolog to make the inital connection with port 5222 or the
server would automatically make the connection through the socket class.

Thanks in advance for the help
