Huh!! - SparkWeb - how to install your trail license R

I belief, i am one of those dump users who didn’t find the direction where to put the enterprise license file. after giving  few minutes try i just went through my old style, decompile LicenseManager, and lets try to find where the “enterprise.license” file is going to be checked out.

i found the following code -

licenseFile = new File((new StringBuilder()).append(JiveGlobals.getHomeDirectory()).append(File.separator).append(”enterprise”).append(File.separator).append(”enterprise.license”).toString());

thats mean, it looks the “enterprise.license” file under the ${openfire.root}/enterprise/ directory.

damn, now my SparkWeb is working.

best wishes,

My first impression “WoW!!” R

As you knew from my last post, you can guess where i was stucking for several days, yea, it was all about determining right jabber server. the pleasant news is i gotta out of my headache after getting in touch with openfire.

openfire is one of those rear projects which made me feel “Wow” on the first run.

as i have mentioned on my last post, i was seeking some way to intercept registration, authentication and authorization process. at least i could came up a solution.

openfire plugin architecture is very simple and much more agile. i have attached my first quick diarty java code which helped me to descide whether i should go with openfire or not.

i must congrats my honored reader and brother, mr. mozammel haque who helped me to find out this outstanding server.

my first experiment was just hooked itself with user registration event dispatcher, when someone register i get the notification and write down to a file which is hard coded to c:/out.txt

this was just 5 to 10 mins preparation to let’s dig inside the plugin architecture.

global-profile.zip

download instruction -

just download the “*.zip” file and extract to your “openfire/plugins/” directory. a new “global-profile.jar” will be created.

let’s look inside the code which made it possible to be notified during user registration process. source is bundled with in “src/” directory.
best wishes,

Struggling with open source jabber server R

My on going project is based on jabber server. i was expecting following features from an open source jabber server implementation -

* Authentication, Authorization  and registration service must be taken from 3rd party. (here i am 3rd party)

* P2P and Group chatting

* HTTP Polling support (optionally  HTTP Binding support)

* Very scalable

* Very flexible user customization

* group messaging subscription

* group moderation role

also following features -  

* none blocking i/o

* optionally java based

* cluster support

thats all.

so after passing some hard time, i fought with “ejabberd”, the ERLang based jabber daemon. i must say this is the best open source implementation. (i didn’t test openfire).

the author really gave a lot of effort. i had a very bad time tough, i tried to invoke external authentication system. but i found php script but i couldn’t able to make it work.

anyway, still it didn’t full fill my requirement, i want to manage user A and A and Registration from my service.

secondly i gave a try Open-im, i show the source code and stuff, my first impression was very bad, i found it was stucking with an infinite loop. later traversing inside the code i found, it was because of the SSL socket initialization related code. code was seeking certificate to initiate a SSL socket. since i didn’t put any certificate it not suppose to do it.

anyway, after working with it i found, it is not complete even code were poorly written.

later i gave a try tigase, it seems very nice and very well written server. still i need my whole control over AA and Registration.

after stucking a lot, i am now cncerntrating on open-im, i am thinking to contribute on this project. first i will implement the following features -

1. move to spring framework

2. Refactor code base
2. move authentication based on JAAS

3. Support 3rd party profile service

4. Support none blocking I/O api

5. Support HTTP Pooling based on servlet container
thats all for now beside my other stuffs from my current project.
