Hi all,
I was looking for docs on this issue, but couldn't find anything useful, so here is my question.
I would need something like a permanent data storage (possibly a relational database, let's say mysql).
Here's the scenario:
I would like to develop a client that, besides including the standard IM features, allow users to draw graphical schemes (if someone is interested, I could explain more on that, but for the purpose of my question it could be enough).
So, basically, users would have something similar to a virtual whiteboard and would do the drawings in a collaborative way.
Now the issue is that I would like to store the graphical scheme permanently into a database, so when one logs in, he/she is able to get the current drawing.
Another issue is to have real-time drawing update.
So, as I see it, this is theoretically what should happen when an user draws something (let's say a line):
1. User draws on the drawing canvas of the client application 2. The client sends to Jabber the XML description of that graphical element 3. Jabber stores that into a database 4. Jabber broadcasts the update to other connected clients. 5. Other clients update their drawings.
So, fundamentally, my questions is: does anyone have any suggestions on features, already available components, examples, experiences useful in my case? Will I have to develop a new Jabber-to-database component?
Any hint?
That you in advance.
