For doing this as documentation says I am trying to connect to port 5347 and authenticating with the secret information as mentioned in router.xml. Once authenticated component waits for an incoming packet. I am using jabber:component:accept method to connect to server.

I just get an error 502 message from the server what ever I try. I was trying all weird things like ip address of the machine on which component is running, and so onn. I tried adding users to router-users.xml but thats not affecting any thing. Tried playing around with alias tag in router.xml but in vain.

Raghu-

I'm sorry that I can't help you; however, I would love to document what you did, so others would have something to follow.  As they say, Jabberd 2 component documentation exists in an as yet unwritten document.  I think it'd be great if my documentation included a section that showed by example how to write a simple component for Jabberd 2.

Good luck,
