Thanks for that recommendation. However, JXTA seems quite bloated - I've spent hours reading their documentation and still haven't really figured out what JXTA supports. (The Smack API documentation, which provides only Jabber, seems much easier to read) Is JXTA just a proprietary SOAP-equivalent (don't we already have enough RPC facilities?), or does it also provide transport and discovery facilities? It seems JXTA doesn't have the discovery stuff (i.e. a buddy list), so what you are recommending that I use Jabber to discover my peers, and then use JXTA for the point-to-point communication, right? Does anyone here have experience with JXTA, and can comment on how easy it is to get into it? Cheers, Tobias
