Creating a jabber server

[Jaques Burger]

Hi there,

I've downloaded jabber-net to create our own server which will allow us to communicate internally. I'm totally new to this, but there is a couple of things I would like to know.

1. Have anybody created a server app with jabber-net, and are you willing to share some of the code with me just to get a handle on it?
2. I've created a console app in c#. In the Main method I've just added the following code
   

            var connect = new JabberService(5121, "JabberService", "Anypassword");

            connect.NetworkHost = "0.0.0.0";

            connect.Connect();

            connect.OnConnect += connect_OnConnect;

            while (1 == 1)

            {

                if (Console.KeyAvailable)

                    if (Console.ReadKey(true).Key == ConsoleKey.Escape)

                        break;

                Thread.Sleep(1);

            }

 

    3.  When I connect with a telnet session to it, the OnConnect Event is fired, so I know that it is actually listening and that I will be able to connect to it.

    4.  What I need to figure out now is how to handle the incoming connections, How do I handle them and "connect" them to another client.

I hope that I can find some answers, as there is not a lot out there.

Thanks

Jaques,

jabber-net is not intended for creating an XMPP (Jabber) server*, so you may want to look at other libraries if developing your own server is what you want to do. If you just want to set up and use a server within your organization, there are many excellent choices for server software, and a lot of them are free and open source. This list may not be up-to-date, but it's a good place to start: http://xmpp.org/xmpp-software/servers/

* - In the XMPP lexicon, service and server mean different things. The JabberService class can be used to develop a service, but it certainly isn't a server and, as far as I know, cannot be used to handle client connections.

Respectfully,

David M. Wilson
