[jdev] Changing user rosters while user is online?

[Heiner Wolf]

Hi

Maybe this helps:

In my app I change the user's roster from a second client. One client is the buddy list client, the other may be a script. The script sends changes to the roster and the server pushes the changes to both clients AND updates the database. If you change it in the database you lack the trigger. You either need a trigger for the server to pull it and push it to the client OR for the client to pull it. With my second client I tell the server to change the roster and it does what it always does. 

Maybe you should use a script client to do the changes instead of manipulating the database directly. Don't know if this works in your case, because the scripted client would have to log in to the server as the user in question. Possibly many, one after the other. I don't know if there is a method to log in as a user without knowing the user's credentials. Would need some kind of admin access. But doing it as a client seems the right way to me, because everything is already there.
