I don't know much about smack or XMPP, but here is what I can tell you - Your GWT application has two distinct parts - client side code and server side code.
Client side code ultimately gets converted to javascript, and hence there are restrictions on what jars you can use. Jars that can be used in GWT have the following characterstics - - They have the source files (*.java) alongwith the *.class files. GWT only understands java files and ignores the *.class files - They have a *.gwt.xml file - The java files in the jar use a subset of the java language that is emulated by GWT Smack certainly doesn't meet the above conditions, because it opens network sockets which isn't supported by GWT. On the server side, GWT doesn't place any restrictions. You can use any jar file - including smack if you want. Now, if I understand your requirements, you want to initiate a XMPP connection from the browser to the server. That is simply not possible in plain javascript, and hence GWT cannot support it. To open arbitrary socket connections from the browser, the user would have to install some plugin and explicitly grant it permission to open a socket. That is definitely beyond the scope of GWT. --Sri 2009/10/27 Pondmouse <[email protected]> > > I've been trying to figure this out for days. I don't think it's > possible.
