Hi, Thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately SmallTalk does not seem to be in the list of supported client libraries. The nearest language seems to be Ruby.
On a slightly different note can a Jabber server accept email messages and then post them to a specific forum? This will solve my immediate requirement - which is to simply post messages from my application to the chat server - not receive them. Thanks again, Tushar -----Original Message----- From: William Voorsluys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 July 2007 12:27 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Jabber software development list Subject: Re: [jdev] FW: connecting to a jabber IM system Hello, The first step would be integrating a XMPP client library into your application. There are client libraries for several languages (http://www.jabber.org/software/libraries.shtml). The library will provide you with a straightforward way of interacting with other clients using XMPP. Then you need to understand a little bit of the XMPP protocol and its extensions (http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/). Especially, you need to understand what extensions are implemented by this "instant messaging system developed by Jabber.com" you mentioned, and how you interact with them. Good luck, William.
