Hello Fabio,
thanks for this message, this clarifies a lot.
Compared to the OpenFire integration, which I had installed as a separate thread server
indeed, the case here is that we'd have the possibility to take this project and make
it something that would probably scale sufficiently for curriki.
I'm trying to dimantle the current thing, which is hooked to xwiki 4.2-snapshot, to
bring it into a war producer, and later for us to pack into the curriki war. However,
xwiki-enterprise-database seems to have only existed until version 4.2-milestone-3. Did
anything replace it?
thanks
Paul

Paul,
You may want to have a look at
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-platform-chat.
It does not use OpenFire but Vysper. The way it goes for authentication is
far from perfect, but it works.

I am the one responsible for xwiki-platform-chat :)
OpenFire seems to be a big beast that is not easily embeddable. This
means that you need to start a separate server, having a duplicated
user-management and also manage to authenticate users that logs-in in
XWiki also in the OpenFire server. Doing this using actual password
could be quite hellish (and prone to security flaws).
When I wrote the prototype I also investigated other solutions, like
Tigase (http://www.tigase.org/) which is easily embeddable but has its
own architecture for HTTP communication. Basically it starts its own
HTTP server.
I am talking about HTTP because my goal was to use HTTP interactions
through the BOSH protocol in order to exchange information.
What I ended up using was Vysper
(http://mina.apache.org/vysper-project/index.html) which is a modular
XMPP server, it's written in Java, it's easily embeddable, and it uses
the Servlet architecture for its BOSH extension.
It works. For the authentication I use the cookie-based authentication
performed by XWiki. So if you log-in to XWiki you are automatically
authenticated also in the XMPP subsystem.
The prototype also supports connection using standard XMPP clients
(like pidgin). In this case you have to provide a password.
Everything is fine but there is a catch... Vysper is strongly tied to
Jetty, so if you want to deploy it in tomcat it simply doesn't work.
I opened some issues on their JIRA and apparently they've been solved
so it might be interesting to check it out.
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VYSPER-307 and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VYSPER-309)
For the UI part, I've added some <div> tags to some .vm and used the
Strophe.js framework for the communication
(http://strophe.im/strophejs/)

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs Hi Paul,
I remember that back in the summer of 2010 some XWiki developers looked at
integrating a XMPP server with XWiki. If I remember correctly, a LDAP
server was used for user management and both the XMPP server and the wiki
were plugged into it.
There was a small chat box popping up in wiki pages as well as a list of
connected users from which one could initiate conversations. It was very
experimental, worked fine for about 15 users but I have no idea about
scaling.
Thanks,
Guillaume

Hello fellow XWiki developers,
I was wondering if anyone had taken the time to have a joint install of
XWiki and OpenFire, apparently a fairly scalable XMPP server with nice
feature completeness.
Something should be done at the UI level, such as candy-chat probably.
My question is more about the server side, there seems to be a way to
write an adapter to fetch user-information from a database, so that
exposing users of XWiki might be simple.
Did anyone try this already?
Did it scale?
thanks in advance
paul
