XMPP in symbian ?

[srivatsan.d]

Hi All,

I am planning to use XMPP in symbian to communicate with GTalk and Open fire servers. Is their any open source project / libraries to do this? or any one tried implementing XMPP? please gives me some docs and links to go through. I have seen many open source c lib's for XMPP but not sure how to port it to symbian.

Please some one provide me help.

Thanks
Srivatsan D

See http://opensource.nokia.com/node/24

Or you could use the OpenC/C++ plugin

Implementing and porting are two different things.
If you want to port, download some open source implementation and try to build it using Open C/C++.
If you want to implement, read the specification on http://xmpp.org, and you can get some ideas from http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=146868

Hi wizard_hu_,

Thanks for the reply.

One quick question, which is the better approach? porting or implementing? As i am very new to Open c/c++, i dont know which side to put my step.

I have gone through the http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=146868, but i have a problem in getting connec status. I am getting -34, which means timeout error. Whether i am missing anything here?

RSocketServ serv;
serv.Connect();
RSocket sock;
sock.Open(serv,KAfInet, KSockStream, KProtocolInetTcp);
TInetAddr addr(KInetAddrLoop,5222);
TRequestStatus stat;
sock.Connect(addr,stat);
User::WaitForRequest(stat);
console->Printf(_L("Connect status: %d\n"),stat.Int());

Please le me know your comments...

Thanks,
Srivatsan

-34 is not KErrTimedOut: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Error_codes
Unfortunatly I am not sure if loopback should or should not work, but you may also want to try what happens if you supply the "real" IP address of your PC (assuming that you are experimenting with the emulator, having an OpenFire server installed and running on the same machine).

Hi All,

I am using iksemel-1.2 for XMPP. The link given by paul ( http://opensource.nokia.com/node/24 ) is really helpful but i trying to change few things. I have made UI (an exe application), to which i have imported iksemel-1.2 alone and skipped gizmo's xmmpparser and also modified utility.c file file under iksemel-1.2 source folder.

Now i problem is how to proceed next. I want to connect to gtalk server and just want to retrieve the XML data sent back be server. So later on i ll add parser and etc.

As far as now, i have not got any doc. regarding to iksemel-1.2. So i am i dilemma how to proceed further and which methods have to be used.

Please some one help me. wizard_hu_ and paul, pls correct me i am wrong. Also suggest me some other approach if am going wrong.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have implemented XMPP in symbian, but i have a problem in RSocket.
iSocket.RecvOneOrMore(iBuffer, flag, iStatus, iDummyLength);
Here i don't know how to track the end of last packet received. Since i was unable to track the reception of last packet i don't know when i have to send the next XML data.

Is their any way to track the reception of last packet from server ?

Thanks,

Hi All,

I have used Gizmo's IKSEMEL XMPP parser for my XMPP application. I can now connect to open fire server, show my presence, chat and retrieve my buddy list. I can parse the other stuffs but fails in Buddy list parsing.

XML Sent:

<iq from='abc@testserver.com/mysample' type='get' id='roster_1'>
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:roster'/>
</iq>

XML Received:

<iq to='abc@testserver.com/mysample' type='result' id='roster_1'>
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:roster'>
<item jid='aaa@testserver.com'
name='aaa'
subscription='both'>
<group>Friends</group>
</item>
<item jid='bbb@testserver.com'
name='bbb'
subscription='from'>
<group>Friends</group>
</item>
<item jid='ccc@testserver.com'
name='ccc'
subscription='both'>
<group>Friends</group>
</item>
</query>
</iq>

How can i parse the above XML data with IKSEMEL parser? i need to extract jid and name from the above stuff.

Please help me...

Thanks,
Srivatsan D

Refer RFC 3921 & RFC 3920 for XMPP documentation

QXmpp builds fine on S60. You will have to disable the FILE-logging, to make it running fine.
