Programming Jabber

The io Section

The <io/> section of the jabber.xml configuration file, shown in Example 4-20 and represented in diagram form in Figure 4-17, is where a number of settings relating to socket communication with the Jabber server are set.

Example 4-20. jabber.xml configuration for the io section

<io>

  <karma>
    <heartbeat>2</heartbeat>
    <init>64</init>
    <max>64</max>
    <inc>6</inc>
    <dec>1</dec>
    <penalty>-3</penalty>
    <restore>64</restore>
  </karma>

  <rate points="5" time="25"/>

</io>

Although a distinct section, io does not describe a component with custom configuration or a connection method; the contents are merely settings. Let’s examine each of these settings here.
