gojara is currently saving the contacts permanently to the users roster. That is not my preferred way. A non persistent handling for external contacts is already implemented in gojara but not active at all.
Therefore we need to manually pull the contacts from spectrum which is not supported yet.
But please be patient, we are working close together with the spectrum developers to support non persistent remote contacts as you konw from the kraken plugin.
That means: you did nothing wrong!
There is also an issue for that you might want to follow:
Sorry, I deleted the post asking that question after HanzZ mentioned on the chat channel that it isn’t implemented on the Spectrum side and he doesn’t use a workaround.
Thank you for the reply, was thinking was from my side because it works on Kraken, glad to know it isn’t.
we want to give you some updates about the current state of GoJara:
While there still remain some Issues we have not fixed yet, we also made some progress by working close with the Spectrum2 team.
I will upload a new version of GoJara with this post, it would be nice if somebody would try it out. If you encounter any bugs or you have any questions, please feel free to email me or Holger. We are in need of feedback, as we are just starting to test this with a bigger userbase ourselves.
Non-Persistant Roster should work now, also Users being in multiple Groups should not cause any problems. Spectrum2 currently has a small issue which results in some redundand traffic upon login, which could matter for Users with large Rosters. As Spectrum2 / GoJara is worked on nearly every day, this probably will be fixed in the next days / week.

When you already have GoJara installed, you probably need to restart the OF-Server after deleting & / updating GoJara. We experienced some cases where Gojara would not correctly unload, which could be caused through this Issue http://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/OF-197
In this case multiple Instances of Gojara would run, producing unnecessary traffic.
We will try to find a workaround for older Versions, can’t give an ETA though.
I will use this thread for further updates until we have a better way to keep things up to date and provide answers, although the Guide and posts already sum up most of the needed Info.
Please contact us if you have any problems or questions. I’m also regulary in the Spectrum2 conference room, spectrum@conference.spectrum.im
GoJara 2.0 is out, mainly a stability & performance update.
For updating to 2.0 please stop OF server, remove gojara.jar / gojara folder and put the new jar in plugins directory. From 2.0 on unloading works fine and there should be no problems anymore with updating it from the OF-Console plugin panel.
Thanks for your details regarding integration of Spectrum plugin.
I am using Spark and Open fire’s latest version. Initially I used ‘Karken plugin’ to access and chat with external domains like Gtalk, Yahoo etc. and I was also able to connect with them and able send/recieve messages from Spark -> Gtalk account to other Gtalk users.
Unfortunately, I was not able to transfer the file using this plugin. I went through the details of Spectrum plugin but did not find any details related to file transfer.
Can you please guide me that is *Spectrum plugin *provide file transfer feature which is one of my need?
If not then is there any way to achieve file transfer from Spark (Gtalk,Yahoo) to other Gtalk account (considering at the other end user is not using Spark.)
unfortunately Spectrum2 does currently not support file transfer. If Kraken doesn’t support file transfer either, i don’t know if there is currently any Gateway(/ Plugin) that can do this.
You would help me a great deal if you could send me the Spectrum2 logfiles (backend / transport).
Here is some info that can help you with this:
Logfiles are in** /var/log/spectrum2/**.
In this folder there is a folder for each gateway you configured in /etc/spectrum2/transports/.
To track the actual XML that is being sent, you should (i recommend this for debug purposes only) enable XML Logging. To do this set:
log4j.category.Component.XML = ON in /etc/spectrum2/logging.cfg
Please do the following:
configure XML Logging
delete current logfiles in /var/log/spectrum2/
Now restart / start spectrum2, and try to connect to it with Openfire+Gojara until you get the error.
Now there should be logfiles for spectrum2 and backend in the specific transport folder in /var/log/spectrum2/…
Please send me those logs via PM ( or via mail to axel.frederik.brand[at]kuehne-nagel.com ). If you want you can also join the spectrum@conference.spectrum.im chatroom, it might take a while but there we always try to help!
If you like you can also contact me via other messengers, ill send you my contacts in a pm.
I install spectrum 2 with 3 instance facebook, skype and msn (only for testing purpose). The spark client is not showing the skype or facebook transport. Only msn.
I am using
Ubuntu 12.04
Openfire 3.8.2
Spark 2.6.3

Hi Jose, Gojara is not officially tested with Skype / Facebook. We only use ICQ/MSN/Yahoo/Gtalk/AIM/ + some other XMPP Protocols, i’ll try to set up skype in some time so maybe i will be able to help then.
In spark you should have a Contacts tab, in which you can select something like Add Contact. There you can specify the user you want to add and the group it should be added to. Also you should select the network of contact so spark knows where to send the request to.
Axel… I will reinstall all again because I think that I play too mucho with the software server. The spark not showme that option “User is on a public network”. So I will reinstall and inform.
Yeah i think gojara/of is not correctly identifying skype, i guess will look into that as soon as i have time to test skype myself. but as long as im working on the “admin interface” it wont be a priority
