IQHandler handling RESULT IQs

I am currently using an IQHandler in my openfire plugin to handle incoming IQ packets from my Smack client. Things have been working fine except for when I do plugin-initiated requests to the client. I have the client’s IQProvider send a IQ.Type.RESULT IQ back at the server after receiving an incoming request. The problem for me is that IQHandler.handleIQ() seems to expect to return a RESULT IQ, which doesn’t make sense when what I’m receiving is already a RESULT IQ. I tried returning null, but that got me a bunch of errors on the server. So I figure either I’m doing it wrong or the plugin library is missing this capability, which seems important for server-originated requests. I tend to assume that it’s the first case. If so, please help me with how to do it correctly. Thanks!
