XMPP FAQ

• Q: Do I need to create a user with my XMPP server before I deploy my composite application
• A: Yes, at this time the XMPP BC will not create an account for you. You will need to manually create a user with your XMPP Server

• Q: Can I create group chats.
• A: Yes. You will need to create an XMPP WSDL that exposes the createGroup operation

• Q: Can I invite a list of users to a group chat.
• A: Yes. You can utilize the invite operation to invite one or more users to a group chat. If you are inviting more than one, you must use a comma separated list (e.g. bob,alice,tom).

• Q: Can I kick participants from a group chat.
• A: Yes. You can utilize the kick operation to kick one or more participants from a group chat. If you are kicking more than one, you must use a comma separated list (e.g. bob,alice,tom).

• Q: Can I receive invitations from other users to participate in a group chat
• A: Yes. The XMPP BC will listen for invitations, and if one is received you will be automatically joined to the group chat. If you did not want to participate you will have to leave manually.

• Q: If user x creates a group can user y send invites
• A: Unknown at this time, we will be testing this very soon.

• Q: If user x creates group can user y kick users
• A: Unknown at this time, we will be testing this very soon.

• Q: Can I create groups dynamically at runtime as well as deployment time
• A: Yes. All groups that are noted in the xmpp:address attribute "group" (e.g. A@conference.xmppserver,B@conference.xmppserver) in the WSDL will be created at deployment time. To dynamically create groups at runtime you will need an XMPP WSDL that exposes the createGroup operation and takes a groupList as input.

• Q: Can I leave a group
• A: Yes. Create an XMPP WSDL that exposes the leave operation and takes a groupList as input.

• Q: Can I join a group chat that is not created.
• A: No. You will need to create the group chat first by using the createGroup operation.

• Q: Can I join multiple group chats at once.
• A: Yes. The groupList input can take a comma separated list of groups (e.g. A@conference.localhost,B@conference.localhost)

• Q: Can I leave multiple group chats at once.
• A: Yes. The groupList input can take a comma separated list of groups (e.g. A@conference.localhost,B@conference.localhost)

• Q: Can I invite multiple users to multiple groups at once.
• A: No. You can only invite multiple users to one group at a time.
