[jdev] Inputting arbitrary XML for testing

[Jacob Bunk Nielsen]

Hi

For various reasons I would like to be able to easily input more or
less arbitrary XML into an XMPP stream. What is the best way to do
this?

I'm thinking some standalone tool that can authenticate with my
XMPP-server (jabberd2) and then send whatever XML I put into it would
be great. It can either be a command line tool or a graphical tool, as
long as it's easy to work with while testing and debugging of the code
I'm currently writing.

I know that PSI has an XML-console that can do this for me, but I
don't think it's very nice to work with in the long run.

I have been looking at xmpptest that comes with iris that is part of
PSI, but for some reason I can't get it to authenticate with my local
jabberd2. However it authenticates fine with the jabberd 1.4.x at
jabbernet.dk.

Are there any better tools I should know about, or should I just work
out the problem with xmpptest and jabberd2 (I might ask for help on
this on the jadmin list)?
