Multiple connections for same user?

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Hi,

I’m using XMPP mostly for communication between servers, so user has to be connected to the XMPP server for exchanging messages with other users. However I also need for the client side application to present the user with roster and update on changes, for this I need to connect again on behalf of the same user to the XMPP server. Does OpenFire support that? I assumed that’s what the service is for, but it didn’t work. As soon as I connect the client, I get this exception:

stream:error (conflict)

at org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader.parsePackets(PacketReader.java:306)

at org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader.access$000(PacketReader.java:44)

at org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader$1.run(PacketReader.java:76)

(I’m using OpenFire as XMPP server and Smack)

Any idea?

Thanks.

You have to connect with a different JID for the same user by using a different resource. The client code can simply add an appropriate resource so the two connections will be

john@myserver/Spark

john@myserver/MySuperDuperUpdater

you’re right, this is what I meant to do, but I forgot to add the resource to my call to connect(user, pass, resource) :slight_smile:

cheers.
