[jdev] spoofing "from" attributes

Thu Feb 24 12:36:56 CST 2005

I believe in j2 the router restricts what it allows
through.  It only allows packets from your component
through.  Notice that the sm component connects to the
router as domain.com while the other components
connect as there component name (c2s, s2s, ...). 
Thus, the sm is the only component that can send
messages from domain.com.

Back to your original problem... you could easily
create sessions on the sm for each user you are
"spoofing".  Authentication is a c2s thing.  Your
component can start a session for
someone at domain.com/resource, just like the c2s does,
and then route messages to the sm, just like c2s, and
the messages will get delivered correctly.
