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.
Regards,
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
(

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
