Hello all, I've developed a java applet that we're hoping to use for customer support. The user will fill out a form and automatically be logged into Jabber using an account taken from a pool.
The plan is to have a support person, on the remote end, sit in a private room and invite users who are waiting. (We want to use group chat instead of direct messaging so that we can invite a supervisor if needed, and also because of the ability to set a nick that's different than the actual pool user name) It's assumed that a service rep will never invite more than one customer into the room at a time. Anyway, everything works but there is a security issue associated with using group chat. Unless the service rep. quits and then recreates his/her room after each customer (which we certainley can't depend on) a number of old messages from the preceding customer are sent to the applet as soon as it joins the room. Obviously, these messages could contain info that we don't want them to see. I realize that the server does this by default but is there a way to alter this behavior? I can do it programatically, but I have to assume that someone will eventually decompile the applet and see what's happening. (Or just find a way to connect with a different client) So in short, I want to prevent my server from sending recent messages to clients on join. Thanks in advance, matt P.S. Sorry for the cross-post. Not sure where this one fits. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
