Planet JabberPlanet Jabber - http://planet.jabber.org/Ignite Realtime Blog: Whack and SparkWeb have graduated. Help me congratulate them!- July 14, 2008 Whack 1.0 has been released. Whack is our Open Source XMPP (Jabber) component library for XMPP components. External components are processes that run outside of the Openfire's process but can connect to the server to register new XMPP service. Whack is an implementation of XEP-0114: Jabber Component Protocol. Unlike the other igniterealtime products, Whack followed a different evolution path. We started coding Whack around November 2004 and after a few months it was operational. Openfire and...http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/blogs/ignite/2008/07/14/whack-and-sparkweb-have-gr...

We needed at least a lightweight HTTP engine, and a servlet launcher engine, because Openfire uses servlets to handle BOSH requests. During my search, I came upon grizzly, which could be a good alternative for us. It has an HTTP engine and a servlet launcher engine built in. However, we needed to make scalability test to be sure about its performance, and these tests could...http://gsoc.safasofuoglu.org/2008/07/11/roadmap-revised/ Pawe Wiejacha: Release 2 and Mid-term Evaluations- July 10, 2008 It's mid-term evaluations week.
