John,
Unfortunately, the book is probably quite out of
date. Another very popular option to check out is Wildfire (http://www.jivesoftware.org/wildfire).
It's 100% Java and has a full plugin architecture. You can also write custom
functionality using external components, but most people find plugins to be a
far easier method for doing customizations. Since it's written in Java, it's
very easy to find developers that can understand and extend the code. There's
also a network of companies that provide customization services for Wildfire
(including Jive Software of course) :)
Regards,
Matt
Thanks. I'm project managing the design and
development of a commercial application, that will use Jabber as a base. I'm
trying to work up a an rough estimate of the development costs for the
financial guys.
I've read through the first half of "Programming
Jabber" and suspect that other implementations of the Jabber server must be
somewhat similar in architecture? For example, allowing components to connect
to the backbone using library load, TCP, and STDIO connections.
I
think most of the application can be handled by the standard Jabber
components, with most of the specialized functionality in the client. However,
I will need to plug in several custom server components.
I'm basically
working at the block-diagram level at this point... just trying to scope out
the project.
As far as requirements for the server are concerned, what
I'm mainly concerned about is stability and scalability, as this application
must potentially support lots of simultaneous users. The actual number will
depend on the market, so we need to be able to start small and grow
arbitrarily large. I'm a bit worried about that requirement, to be
honest.
Anyway, any thoughts much appreciated.
Brgds:

This book describes the architecture of jabberd14
Also note there are a dozen other jabber servers
now. The landscape
is much different than it used to be. Are
you trying to learn in
general, or do you have some specific aims?
We might be able to help
direct your focus.
