I am new to Openfire and I am evaluating the pubsub abilities. I have installed the lastest release and I was expecting to find a way within the admin console to create pubsub nodes but I have been unable to find anything related. Can this be done or are nodes created only programatically? Are nodes persisted between server restarts?
As per XEP-0060, section 8.1.3, the maximum number of items per node is defined by the creator of that node. A “Node is full“ error will be returned by the service if the maximum number of items has been exceeded.
The protocol does not specify a maximum number of nodes (topics) per pubsub service.
I’ve not tested it in-depth, but for normal (non PEP) pubsub nodes, you seem to be able to modify this through the admin console, as shown in this screenshot:
