[JDEV] conferences

[Wayne Pinette]

Hi, I am currently writing my own java client which is nothing more than a simple test
for what Im really interested in, and that is a very solid java connnection package.
(I know al sutton has one, but I prefer my design over his...nothing personal al :-)

At any rate, my big question right now revolves around conferences.  Holy crap, is the
documentation that I have read on www.jabber.org not helping me :-|

Im coding for 1.4 and all Im trying to do is enter an already created conference.


I start with the documented
<iq type='get' to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>
    <enter xmlns='jabber:iq:conference'/>
</iq>
 which gets me the proper result in the documentation
(http://docs.jabber.org/draft-proto/html/conferencing.html)

next I do :
<iq type='set' to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>
    <enter xmlns='jabber:iq:conference'>
        <nickname>wayner</nickname>
    </enter>
</iq>

this gives me forbidden error.
so I change nickname to nick (cause thats what the response actually gave me)
and same error.

realising the doc is in draft state, and it may be out of date, I then
fire up winjab, run my server in debug mode and see whats up.
At this point, I realise it is not an enter iq but rather a query iq
(that is what winjab sends)  so I do this :

<iq type='set' to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>
    <query xmlns='jabber:iq:conference'>
        <nickname>wayner</nickname>
    </query>
</iq>
and
<iq type='set' to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>
    <query xmlns='jabber:iq:conference'>
        <nick>wayner</nick>
    </query>
</iq>
I still get a forbidden error.  Does anyone have any advice for me?  Im kind
of at a loss.


One thing  I should note actually is that the nick/nickname element actually
looks like <nick xmlns="">wayner</nick> because my dom library seems to want
to do that if there is an xmlns somewhere in the node tree.  But I don't think
that should really matter.

Wayner

P.S.
My apologies if this has been asked before...I am knew to this list.

P.P.S.
like al, when I am done my connection package, I plan on making it public somehow.
