Bug: Routing messages between several clients with same username / password

Openfire Openfire Support
1

I posted a few month ago a bugreport on the same problem and I was fixed but not fully fixed.

The problem only occurs if a user is connected with his credentials several time under different ressources like:

guido@localhost/smack

guido@localhost/xiff

the server should then consider the priority for delivering messages:

online

4

Jivemessenger is doing this but only considers priority 0 as lower than for example 5.

if prio is 0 and 5 the messeages go to prio 5 -> ok

if prio is 1 and 5 the messages go to 1 -> Wrong implementaion

ift looks like the the server has other mechnisms like last activity or so to schedule the messages but the jabber protocol says:

"For message stanzas, the server SHOULD deliver the stanza to

the highest-priority available resource (if the resource did

not provide a value for the element, the server

SHOULD consider it to have provided a value of zero)."

Hey guido,

Could you be more specific on how to reproduce the problem? I just modified our test case (JUnit) to cover more possibilities and it’‘s working fine for me. I assume that you are using the latest Messenger version. BTW, an enhancement I was going to add was to consider negative priorities so that resources with negative priorities won’'t receive messages.

Thanks,

I use three IM clients A, B, C

B and C will be started as same user but with different resssources.

A sends a message to B -> it arrives at B. B has priority 1 (correct)

C starts with priority 5 (higher than B)

if new A sends a message to B or C it arrives at B but should arrive at C.

I cant reproduce it all the times but in most cases the error is reproducable.

But the funny thing is, if the client B has the prio 0 and the new startet client C has the prio 5 or so then it works as described in the protocol and C gets the new receiver for messages as soon he is connected.

If I start both clients B and C bevor sending a message from A everything works correct and C with higher prio is the receiver. It looks like that the server has a problem when routing a message to a new ressource joining while a chat is startet already.

I know Its a rather tricky bug but our application is depending on this feature and it always worked with jabberd.

Thanks

guido

ps: the enhancement is nice as well to mark clients that are online not to receive messages at all. thanks

We use jivemessenger 2.1.2.

Hey guido,

The problem has been fixed. You can try using the latest code in CVS or the next nightly build.

Let me know how it goes.
