I've been using a few libraries and getting by with their class files so I haven't drilled down this far before. This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the help!

It's just to store arbitrary XML data on the server and receive it later. What you want it just XMPP core, which allows you to add your own namespace and put in there whatever you like. <message to='foo' type='chat'> <body>My text</body> <somenonstandardfoo xmlns='<a href="https://nonstandard.org/foo" target="_blank">https://nonstandard.org/foo</a>'> <foo><bar/></foo> <baz>qux!</baz> </somenonstandardfoo> </message> You should really read XMPP core before writing an XMPP app, as this is very basic stuff, used by many of the XMPP Extensions (XEPs) ;). -- Jonathan _______________________________________________ JDev mailing list Forum: <a href="http://www.jabberforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=20" target="_blank">http://www.jabberforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=20</a> Info: <a href="http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev" target="_blank">http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev</a> Unsubscribe: <a href="mailto:JDev-unsubscribe@jabber.org">JDev-unsubscribe@jabber.org</a> _______________________________________________ </blockquote></div> -- Will Gardner Super Alerts Website: <a href="http://www.superalerts.com">http://www.superalerts.com</a> Phone: 701-388-6171 SuperAlerts ID: will Yahoo: gardnerhoo
