Programming Jabber

Custom Configuration

There is not much to configure in the JUD; it is a simple user directory service, and many of the features are currently hardcoded: where the data is stored, what data fields are stored per JID, and so on. The only configuration we can maintain is the JUD’s vCard information. Just as the Jabber server itself and each user can have a vCard, components can have vCards too. These component vCards can be requested in the same way. (The vCard in this case is actually for the JSM, which is the heart of the Jabber server.)

<jud xmlns="jabber:config:jud">
  <vCard>
    <FN>JUD on yak</FN>
    <DESC>yak User Directory Services</DESC>
    <URL>http://yak/jud</URL>
  </vCard>
</jud>

The namespace that declares the JUD configuration is jabber:config:jud.
