Nested groups causing intermittent freezing

[technomancer_101]

Hi all,

We have an Openfire 4.4.4 server running with embedded DB with about 100 users on it.
Recently, we have found the need to use nested groups with Spark as the client.
All copies of Spark are on 2.8.3 with embedded JRE

Shortly after beginning to add nested users, myself and others have noticed intermittent freezing in Spark. There doesn’t seem to be a specific trigger, but when it freezes, the chat window and the Contact list become unresponsive for ~10 seconds, and then it continues running as usual.

This is running on a CentOS7 VM with 4GB RAM and 2 CPU cores, and doesn’t seem to be wanting any resources. Java usage sits steady at about 300MB.

The nesting isn’t very complicated, so I didn’t think it would cause issues:
Group1
–GroupA
–GroupB
–GroupC
–GroupD
Group2
–GroupE
–GroupF
–GroupG
–GroupH
–…

There are about 20 groups in total.

Is this something that has come up before or anyone has dealt with?
Thanks

Here the problem is in Spark.
If you look at these topics and look at Jira, it becomes clear that these problems still exist.
I tried nested groups yesterday, I have Spark freezing =)

Nested Groups

I am currently using Openfire 4.0.1 with Spark Clients. My groups are being pulled from Active Directory. Is it possible to do multiple layers of nested groups? I’m looking to do something such as “Physical Location” -> “Department”-> “Sub-Department”, where both the “Department” and the “sub-department” contain users. I have an AD group named “NCSalesChat” - This contains all of the salespeople for this location. I have another group named “NCSalesBDCChat” - This contains the handful of peop…

Nested groups

We are in the process of evaluating new IM server/clients and Openfire looks awesome. There is one feature however, that we must have and that is nested groups. Is that possible and would it take a lot of work?

Now there are no active developers, therefore we use “as is”.
