[Standards] Idea for std. Being implemented here @ wirelessfactory

[Mads Randstoft]

Title: Signatur

We use XMPP as communications layer in a larger service system build as a cloud system with many autonomous services that work together to perform a service. All of the communication for the service RPCs are done using ad-hoc commands with XEP-0244 (iodata) as payload. What I propose for a std. is the extension we are currently working on together with Tigase. "Store and Forward of ad-hoc+iodata" stanzas. We found that we needed a way to ensure delivery of some commands even in the face of offline recipients, takeing the offline messages as basic idea, we are designing an addon for XMPP servers that will allow specified <iq><command> stanzas to offline clients to be stored in case of client being offline and sent to the client when this client again comes online. Since not all commands should be stored, it must be possible to configure which types of commands are stored, based on command nodes. I would like any comments, ideas and input of any kind, on this proposition. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Mads Randstoft mads randstoft java developer wireless factory aps galionsvej 52 dk-1437 københavn k mobile: +45 31 31 96 07 office: +45 70 20 12 92 fax: + 45 32 95 83 02 m...@wirelessfactory.com www.wirelessfactory.dk
