I am currently looking to add XMPP connectivity to our (proprietary) EIM application. Specifically, I want to add an extension to our IM server allowing users of our IM client to communicate with users in the Jabber/XMPP world.
For a number of reasons, I do *not* want to add support for connecting to our EIM server using any Jabber-compliant client.
I realize that what I would need to do is announce users of our EIM service to the XMPP world and deliver presence and message packets to XMPP-based clients via a connection to some XMPP server.
What would be the "correct" way of designing this? Would I be developing a "component" (i.e. using the "jabber:component" namespace to talk to the XMPP server), or would I rather be looking at Server-to-server support (the "jabber:server" namespace)? Is S2S actually supported in current XMPP servers or would I be limiting myself by doing it this way?
I guess I *could* also use "jabber:client" and have our IM server masquerade as X number of clients, but somehow that does not appear to be the cleanest (and most resource-saving) approach.
Our IM system is 100% Java - is there a Java library (LGPL, or commercially licensed/licensable) that could get us nearer towards our goal?
I'd appreciate any helpful pointers on this issue.
Best regards,
Daniel
