The Jabber protocol could probably be used for what you describe, but it's not going to be very robust compared to a Message Queuing product. It's also going to be a whole lot of work.
The jabber protocol doesn't support transactions, doesn't support true guaranteed delivery, and has no concept of a permanent message store. You're much better off using an off-the-shelf Message Queuing product. There are a number on the market that you should be able to use from both C# and Java (MSMQ springs to mind immediately). If you go with MSMQ, you could use QueuedComponents to achieve the push functionality you're looking for. I think all the major vendors sell tools such as this (IBM, See Beyond, Microsoft, etc). -- Chris Mullins -----Original Message----- From: GMonkey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 9:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JDEV] Some quick questions? I am currently working on a project that requires xml messages to be pushed from a server to a client and xml messages from the client to the server? The client is a c# .net desktop client, the server is a java server. I had looked at soap but they do not have push functionality! I looked JMS but it does not have xml as an option, unless using stream text, also c# support is not the best, and is expensive. I found the Jabber protocol. The project I am working on is not for instant messaging, it will be for message delivery between client and server. Does jabber provide Guaranteed delivery, and if the client is down queuing of messages, and mass send upon reconnect? I noticed the ID tag in the message element, could this allow for unique messages numbering so I can rerequest previous messages, if the connection is dropped? I was wondering if Jabber could be used for this? Sorry for all the questions but I have been looking around and have not found a protocol yet, and would prefer to not have to write my own. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
