[jdev] Help choosing the right technology

> Always ON: The application is a tracking one. Hence the application should always, at regular intervals, send the location data to the server without closing the connection. The application runs on a mobile. That's what I mean by Always ON.

I think that should be fairly easy to implement on the client side. In order to assure that the connection is still alive you might want to implement XEP-199 Ping (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0199.html).

Yes: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0138.html
I think almost every server implements this.
