The highest layer at which I would write this would be at the servlet layer. Past that point, to me, it's no longer considered a "unit test" anyway and becomes more brittle than would be worthwhile considering the hoops you'd have to jump through to make something like this work with an IDE or a CI server. There's scenarios you can't test anyway once it's live in production; the XMPP stub locally isn't exactly the same, so whatever additional confidence you would gain by testing it the way you describe with the local XMPP URL over testing the servlet is minimal at best.
