Connecting Anonymously to an XMPP Group Chat using XIFF
I posted some code the other day that showed how to use the XIFF AS3 Library to connect to an XMPP server and join a group chat room.
Below is an slightly modified example that shows how to login anonymously, and connect to a room.
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.conference.Room;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.core.JID;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.core.XMPPSocketConnection;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.events.LoginEvent;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.events.RoomEvent;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.events.XIFFErrorEvent;
private var connection:XMPPSocketConnection;
private function onCreationComplete():void
{
connection = new XMPPSocketConnection();
connection.useAnonymousLogin = true;
connection.server = "mesh.local";
connection.port = 5222;
connection.addEventListener(LoginEvent.LOGIN, onLogin);
connection.addEventListener(XIFFErrorEvent.XIFF_ERROR, onError);
connection.connect("standard");
}
private function onLogin(e:LoginEvent):void
{
var room:Room = new Room(connection);
room.roomJID = new JID("test@conference.mesh.local");
room.nickname = "frank";
room.addEventListener(RoomEvent.ROOM_JOIN, onRoomJoin);
room.join();
}
private function onRoomJoin(e:RoomEvent):void
{
Room(e.target).sendMessage("im here");
}
private function onError(e:XIFFErrorEvent):void
{
trace(e.errorCode);
}
The two differences are that you set:
connection.useAnonymousLogin = true;
and dont send a username and password. Once you join the room, you can then set your nick like so:
room.nickname = "frank";
I have set up a test chat room on my server if you want to play around with the code.
Glad to see you figured out the room nickname stuff.

Does it something possible that Adobe does some work to become a sponsor of the XMPP Standards foundation as others here : http://www.xmpp.org/ (menu on the left).
