Hi,

Thanks. Sending a message to my own JID sounds like a workaround solution.

Is there any other solution? Does any existing Jabber client does any Ping mechanism?

Best Regards,
Tony Cheung

Normal keep-alives are typically a single space character flushed down the stream. However I know it isn't truly a ping. :)

The trivial way to ping is to send a message to your own JID. If I'm right in interpreting the semantics, a message with no body won't be displayed in a client anyway, so as long as you tag the outgoing message with an 'id' attribute and wait for the incoming message with the same id.
