Hello,
I am trying to implement file transfer using a client (built using Smack) and Google Talk.
I am able to send / receive (through Smack) files from my Java Client to GTalk end-user ONLY if its Spark. If the end-user is using Gtalk Client, the Java Client cannot send/receive files. Infact, if two users one logged in through Spark and another through Gtalk, they cannot send/receive files.
After some investigation, looks like GTalk client is using some version of Jingle (XEP-0166: Jingle) and Smack does file transfer using a different protocol (XEP-0096: File Transfer) Correct me if I am wrong.
I did see that Smack has Jingle extension but couldn’t find any documentation on that. (And I read somewhere on the forum that Smack-Jingle and Google-Jingle uses different schemas and they are not compatible)
Google-jingle is in C++ so I cannot use it directly as I am developing client in Java. I also saw somewhere that there was a Google Summer of Code project to implement Google-Jingle in Java but couldn’t find if it has been released. If anyone know anything about it please forward me the link…
In short, I am trying to make file transfer work from the Java client (using Smack) to Gtalk Client specifically. Is there a way that exists currently ?
Thanks.
