Chat Room creation

[Rupert]

Hi guys.

I am currently implementing group chat support for the icq protocol
within the sip-communicator project. We use the joscar lib succesfully
for all our icq functionalities, and I am the one who should implement
multi user chat support. I was successful to receive invitations and
participate to multi user chat.
The only thing I couldn't be solved is to create a chat room session
by myself. Maybe someone could give some hints how I can create a chat
room session, so that I can invite other users to it.

Thanks in advanced for your helping!
Cheers Rup.

I seem to remember this being convoluted. I'm surprised joscar doesn't allow this already, as I thought I finished chat room support for Adium. Anyway I think you may need to invite yourself to the room to create it... But I'm not sure.

Hey Keith Lea,

thanks for your reply, my problem is that I can't invite anyone to a
chat room, because I need a working ChatRoomSession for that.
I tried to create a chat room session by myself but when I use it for
invitations I get a nullpointer exception, because the room is not
set. I checked the SessionState and it is still "INITIALIZING". I also
added a SessionListener to wait for a StateChange but unfortunately
this never happens.
I also tried to create a ChatRoomService, but for that I need a
working chat room, so this also doesn't lead to success.

But thank you anyway!

I just checked and ChatRoomManager has:

public ChatRoomSession joinRoom(String name)

You can get a ChatRoomManager by calling aimConnection.getChatRoomManager()

Hope this helps!

Hey Keith Lea,

I already did this before, but encouraged by your response I tried it
again. And it finally works!!
I actually don't know what I did the last days, because the first
thing I tried was playing around with that manager.
Anyway, I am so grateful that you took your time to look at my
problem, because I thought this function was only be usefull if you
know a name of a chat room, but I was wrong and you were right.
So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

For everyone else who wants to create a chat room:
1. Get the ChatRoomManager: "by calling
aimConnection.getChatRoomManager()"
2. Get the ChatRoomSession by calling the "public ChatRoomSession
joinRoom(String name)" method.
e.g. ChatRoomSession session =
aimConnection.getChatRoomManager().join(chatRoomName);
3. Add a ChatRoomSessionListener to the session by calling the
"ChatRoomSession.addListener(ChatRoomSessionListener listener)"
method.
4. wait for the SessionState change in the listener method:
"handleStateChange(...)" method
5. If the SessionState is "INROOM" you can invite others to it

I have to thank you again, and I wish you a nice weekend!
Cheers, your new fan Rupert!!

Glad to hear it! Hope this conversation shows up on google searches for the subject some day :)

ouch. looks like broken code or a broken packet... 17 is a lot less than 282.
