Thanks Gato!

I figured something of the sort. What would be the best way for me to implement something similar to the IPPlugin, or is there something already in place I could use?

Thanks again,

Brandon

Sounds good! I currently have the source and do see it using the IQHandler method. I just didn't know it wasn't the best way to go about things :). I'm sure I can figure out how to get it running as a component. Thank you for your help, and quick response!

Hey John,

The plugin is IDEAL for what I need in my environment (more specifically for our desktop support group). I appreciate your work already put into the project because it really helps me through the process. My java skills are definitely not up to par at the moment so this is a good way to hone them. Although, I am sure I will be updating this thread will help requests.

Thanks guys,

Brandon

Thanks Jay!

I haven't been able to check out what you have but I probably should have to see how you did the response packet with the server. I am having an issue with this.

This is what I have:

 

//create the resultIQ packet from the sent packet
IQ reply = IQ.createResultIQ(packet);
Element childElement = packet.getChildElement();
String namespace = childElement.getNamespaceURI();
Element childElementCopy = packet.getChildElement().createCopy();
reply.setChildElement(childElementCopy);


..... verify packet code.....


//return packet generation


Element identity = childElementCopy.addElement("ip");
             identity.addText(ip);
System.out.println(reply); 


...else statement for error....

//returns the generated packet
return reply;

Now the System.out.println(reply) shows this as the packet:

<iq type="result" id="A2nT4-80" from="ipplugin.sparkserver.com" to="me@sparkserver.com/spark">
  <query xmlns="jabber:iq:ip">
    <data>username@sparkserver.com/spark</data>  
    <ip>correct_ip_here</ip>
  </query>
</iq>

Now this is where it gets weird...in Spark the response is shown as this from WITHIN the Smack "All Packets" debugger window:

<iq id="282b6-78" to="me@sparkserver.com/spark" from="ipplugin.sparkserver.com" type="result"></iq>

BUT if I look at "Raw Received Packets" in the Smack debugger window I show that this was received:

 <iq type="result" id="282b6-78" from="ipplugin.sparkserver.com" to="me@sparkserver.com/spark"><query xmlns="jabber:iq:ip"><data>username@sparkserver.com/spark</data> <ip>correct_ip_here</ip></query></iq>

There must be an issue with how I am generating my XML so Spark/Smack doesn't properly handle it? I don't know.

Thanks for all your help guys and sorry for the long post!

Ahh, I knew that ! I had read it a 100x it just never clicked.

Thanks Dom -- its been a crazy couple of weeks for me.
