Jabber Anyone?

Anyone use Jabber?

I honestly hadn't realized what it was (beyond chat) until someone submitted a book review to Slashdot. Now I'm wondering if I can use this. I was thinking of making a distributed application that would need to talk from one "node" to another over the internet. I was dreading how I was going to mess with that.

Can I use Jabber as a free, open middleware?

Jabber is an Open Instant Messaging Standard based on XML.

If you want to program distributed applications, XML is an OPen Medium. I think Jabber is best suited for what it is that is pass messages. It does not (as I believe) connects distributed applications. Distributed application programming is best managed by the Java and the .NET platform.

As we speak, there are jabber implementations for Java already and a .NET implementation is under development ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabber-net )

.NET is not a viable alternative. Does Java have a solution?

In the past I've thought of using MQ/Series. It isn't free, but it is very nice, and there are APIs (MQIs) for several, portable languages.

I want some way for the nodes to talk, something that is connectionless, asynchronous, and standard. And I don't want to have to deal with the protocols directly.

What I want is free, simple middleware.

Well, Chris. Martin asked you a direct question! Aren't you going to answer?

**chrisjk** · Apr 11th, 2002, 05:05 PM

I'd love to answer, but gentlemens' protocol forbids such indiscretion

Which essentially means "yes"

**chrisjk** · Apr 11th, 2002, 05:09 PM

perhaps, perhaps not

Amen. Grape ape was much cooler.

Thank you, by the way for acknowledging the Jabberjaw
comment, I was beginning to have flashbacks of when I was
trapped in that empty petroleum tank and I would yell and
yell but nobody could hear me.
