== Jabber Client

This is a rails app that operates as a Jabber client using Jabber::Simple and will message asynchronously back to the browser. It should ultimately evolve into a full featured AJAX Jabber client built in Rails.

It uses Juggernaut for messaging back to the browser.

== To install it

  1. cp config/jabber_client_test_login.rb.template config/jabber_client_test_login.rb
  2. modify it so it has the client info that will be used to receive messages and presence updates.
  3. signup for a user.
  4. fill out your jabber login/password (this will be used to send messages).

I'm aware that the above is quirky and unsuitable for any real usage, but it's a nice start.

== To test it

  1. Launch the juggernaut server with: juggernaut -c config/juggernaut.yml

  2. Launch the jabber connection proxy: cd RAILS_ROOT/lib ruby jabber_connection_server_daemon.rb

  3. Launch the rails server

  4. visit /buddy_list (you'll need a user with a jabber user, and you have to be logged in)

  5. open up a script/console session and type: g = JabberUpdater.new g.handle_presence_updates FIXME: Right now you might need to run these lines, ^C to get out, and run them again for it to work.
