[jdev] Component basics

[Brad Mace]

I'm looking for a high-level explanation of how components work, how 
they interact with clients and servers, and what can be done in a 
component without requiring anything special in the client.  My first 
idea for a component is allowing offline status messages, so you can see 
a message like "Out of the office until Tuesday" for someone who is 
offline.  Hopefully a relatively simple project to start with.  I've 
written a bot using Smack to answer some basic queries, so I'm familiar 
with that part of things, I just need to get my head around the 
important aspects of components.

Thanks for any info
