If I undestand correctly, th API currently does no have an iq/browse feature which lists the gateways available to other IMs.
I can use the XMPPConnection to login with a jabber id, but there does not appear to be an API to enumerate the gateways and consequently login to each of them, so that messages to any of my IM accounts will arrive.
This is frequently used feature with the Jabber clients.
Is that on the Smack roadmap.
How would you suggest I go about implementing this currently?

Ivelin,
AFAIK, the Browse functionality (JEP11) was replaced by the Service Discovery functionality (JEP30) because of some limitations. However, I think that many servers still support browsing and many do not still support disco.
In the daily builds you can find that Smack already implements the Service Discovery functionality. I also don’‘t think that adding iq/browse is in Smack’'s roadmap. However, if you want to implement iq/browse please let us know so we can assist you. As a starting point, you can following this link in order to learn the specification http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0011.html[/url].

Hi,
I have implementation of request of gateway list on the server using iq/agents packets, creating and deleting account on gateway. It is uncomplete but work on jabber.com and myjabber.net , but jabber.ru, for example, after 28 oct understand only iq/disco (it use ejabberd)
I can send sources but where?
Best regards,
Oleg
Sounds like Oleg did the job.
What is the contribution process?
Appears that the popular Jabber clients still use the old protocol. Both JAJC and Tipic are able to gateway through amessage.info and tipic.com, but not jabber.ru.
It should be worth adding this to Smack with an abstraction layer that will allow a smooth transition to the new protocol.
Event better if the implementation can try both behind the scenes.

Hi, Ivelin.
Sorry but I didn’'t understand you. What is “the contribution process”?
I can send sources to your email address if you need or can send to developers of Smack library if they want. Is it the contribution process?
Oleg
Oleg,
the question was to the core developers of Smack.
I expected them to provide you with info how to contribute your code.
I would be interested to see your sources, but I do not have CVS access to Smack.
Use ivelin (at) apache.org

Things like this are very tricky. The current JEP process is a complete mess and in some ways I feel like we have a responsibility to the community to implement only the JEP’‘s that should be truly broadly supported. Since browsing has been officially supplanted by discovery, to me that means that we shouldn’‘t officially support browsing as a Smack extension. However, I totally understand why someone would want browsing for certain purposes, such as interacting with older servers. Maybe there should be certain Smack extensions that aren’‘t official? For example, I’'m more than happy to provide links to side projects on Sourceforge or JabberStudio that implement things like the browse protocol. Would people be interested in this approach?
