JClaim with JOscar problem

[Mihai Dumitrache]

Hello,
I am trying to build an AIM client with JClaim. First a message for
dev guys: please put somewhere javadoc or some sort of nice and simple
documentation. Anyway here i go:

My main method is here:

MessageSupport conn = new OscarConnection();
conn.assignGroupFactory(new GroupImplFactory());
conn.assignContactFactory(new ContactImplFactory());
conn.setUserName("aim user");
conn.setPassword("aim password");
try {
conn.addEventListener(new BotEventHandler());
conn.connect();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Failed to create required pieces.
Shutting down.");
e.printStackTrace();
return; // No point waiting if connection isn't available
}
while (true) { // Simplified version of "stick around" wait
GeneralUtils.sleep(60*60*1000);
}

Note: I have declared all the other listeners and classes just like in
the example from javaWorld.
Actually the thing is that, on runtime i get this:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/
kano/joscar/LiveWritable
at IM.main(IM.java:152)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
net.kano.joscar.LiveWritable
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)

at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:276)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)

and i really do not know what LiveWritable is, and where to find this
class. How can i fix this problem ? and connect to aim servers, chat
and all the other things ?

----
Second thing: I saw that in com.itbs.aimcer.commune are some
subclasses: jaim for example. I thought that this is another way to
connect to aim, but i get other exception: NoClassDefFound:
JAimEventListener. I have searched the tree for this class and no
class was found.

Please help me.
Thanks

I haven't used jclaim but it looks like you're simply missing one of the joscar jars in your classpath.

Mihail,

Go and read through the documentation section in the jclaim project.
It will really help you.

There is no real documentation. Sry

What about this?

 

https://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=160697

 

Is this not “real documentation”?

As i said "there is no real documentation". If the guys from sun would create such a documentation it will be like "hello, this is what we can do, so, try to read all of our .java files and maybe you will understand what java is".

I have used a lot of apis and until now everyone got at least javadoc and lot of code examples, where "code examples" = build-in clients for msn let's say.
At the end: thanks for your time, but i'm not satisfied.

[Alex Rass]

Misha,

You are being ridiculous.

 

1)       There is an ENTIRE client in java. (You want source – there it is).

2)       There is a javaworld article with diagrams AND code examples in the docs section (I gave you a link earlier)

3)       There are a ton of other related docs in the documentation section (link earlier)

4)       There is Javadoc for the entire tree. Download the source tree and I believe it’s the typical “ant javadoc” command.

5)       This is an open source project – you want something better – SUBMIT it.

 

Don’t bitch – contribute.

I am consistently seeing this problem where joscar doesn’t notice that it’s disconnected/gone offline.

 

I can send messages fine, but people never receive them.

 

I am guessing AIM changed the way the idle is checked. Maybe someone could look into it?  A bunch of my users are reporting same problem.

 

This is a BIG problem for us. Can’t use the protocol like this.

 

 

ICQ:

ICQ has a similar problem.

 

[Alex Rass]

Found out more details:

People who are using this lib (through JClaim) found out that their company’s firewall kills connections after 1h of inactivity.

So that means we don’t have ANY heartbeats on (some) sockets?

Can someone look into it please? This is a big problem. Every other client works just fine for them (other implementations).

 

This should be SO simple…

Just let the connection sit there and see what client sends to server over the course of an hour. Then do same ourselves.

I remember experimenting with this. The official clients send FLAP packet with type 0x5 - and the server sends one back. It appears to be a ping. However, when I tried making joscar send it, the server would disconnect me instantly upon sending the packet.

[Alex Rass]

There’s a KeepaliveSender class which does *try* to send heatbeats (Flap(5)) to keep alive. But it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to for some reason.

Maybe there’s no guarantee that if it comes back empty there’s a logout callback initiated?

 

I named the thread so I can track them easier. There are about 3 of these per connection.

And running a debugger tells me that it does work (send flap packets).

"doesn't do what it's supposed to"? If you mean it doesn't listen for a response, that might be true. So - I guess the AIM server doesn't disconnect for that anymore? that's a good sign. does it send responses?

[Alex Rass]

Yeah, I put a break point on it, so the sendFlap call does happen.

Perhaps we should see if anything comes back, so it’s a full heartbeat and not just a keepalive?

[Keith Lea]

yes - maybe some packet sniffing would determine whether a response is seen or not. or you could find where it would be handled in joscar code and add a breakpt.

[Alex Rass]

Ok, will do.

In the mean time:

Is there more than 1 socket used?

Cause then we’ll need a heartbeat on each one. Right now it’s only added to OscarConection.
