Hi Adrian, I had the same problem when I was installing my Jabberd... Well, first I had killed all the Jabberd processes and then ran the Jabberd again and everything was working fine... Checkout if this works for u also...

But this caused even more problems, anyone know how to resolve this? Also, I'm trying to make a Jabber Client (I'm not a great programmer), I'm using JabberBeans. I want to be able to send an object within a <MESSAGE>tag. The object is of type DocumentChange (and implements serializable), how do I go about serializing this object and attaching it within a <MESSAGE>tag? Or do I need to make my own custom tags (also lost on that one). Thanks so much, hope someone can help.
