Jabber/XMPP Tools

Summary

Alax.Info Jabber/XMPP Tools is a beginning of a Jabber/XMPP compatible set of automation objects (COM/OLE). The module is started as a simplest Jabber client to be used to send message into Jabber/XMPP network. Initially the module provides three objects:

• Connection, a TCP socket connection pump conectable to remote Jabber/XMPP server;
• Authentication, an object which authenticates Jabber/XMPP client with remote server;
• Message, a single instant message object

The software package is available as a binary redistributable for Windows operations systems.

Usage scenario

Implemented objects are available through OLE Automation and thus available in varienty of development environments. For the three implemented objects the usage scenario in JavaScript is shown below.

Connection = new ActiveXObject(“AlaxInfoXmppTools.Connection”);
Connection.Connect(“jabber://jabber.org:5222”);
Connection.WaitConnected(10000);
Authentication = new ActiveXObject(“AlaxInfoXmppTools.Authentication”);
Authentication.Authenticate(Connection, “alax”, “123”, “Test”);
Authentication.Wait(5000);
Message = new ActiveXObject(“AlaxInfoXmppTools.Message”);
Message.Send(Connection, “alax@jabber.org”, “alax@jabber.org”, “Hello from JsMessageSample01.js”);
