Hi,

I begin with ejabberd and i need to make a web client based on AJAX and DOJO.
I want to know if it’s possible or not for a client to make get or post requests on ejabberd and that the ejabberd answer in JSON ?
I know that i need to write some ejabberd modules to do that but, is it possible to do such a thing?

Maybe i could use another solution but the problem is that the client could not parse easily XMPP. So i may use a servlet which communicate with the client (client-> servlet: post | servlet -> client:JSON) and which listen to the server, using SMACK api, but is it a good way?

Sorry for my poor english :-s , i hope you understand my problem and i thank you to tell me all ideas you could have on that topic.

What is the purpose of the web client ?

Sorry, i forgot to say that’s for instant messaging.

Yes, this kind of module can be done. We have done that already in the past.

Ok, great. Is this method scalable? Could you indicate how to do such a module or where can i find it ?

Thanks.

Yes, this approach is very scalable.
I think however that there is no public module that is close to what you are trying to achieve.

ok, thank you .
I tried to connect a javascript web client with httpbinding at http://server:5280/http-bind but the service is unavailable. I’m not sure but maybe it’s a problem of files versions but i don’t manage to use mod_http_binding, or maybe it’s a problem with the requests handlers cause i don’t manage to use the mod_hello in the example.

I have an other question cause i can’t connect with http-polling under firefox.

It seems to be a problem of XMlHttpRequest permission but i don’t understand. Do i have to use a proxy to do http-polling or can i connect my web client and my ejabberd server without proxy?

Thanks for your help.

Nicolas

Hello,

you need to serve the Javascript from the same domain you are doing the polling. On the current stable ejabberd it means that you have to use a proxy.

In the next release, you will be able to host your Javascript directly in ejabberd, mainly for ease of use and performance improvements reasons.
