No "add buddy" dialogue after subscribing to gateway user's presence

Openfire Plugins Kraken - IM Gateway
1

Hi all,

I’m probably have a basic error here, but have tried a few variations with no luck.

The problem: I subscribe to a yahoo or AIM member’s presence, but the IM client logged into aim/yahoo does not pop up the “authorize add buddy” dialogue. Instead the user appears as “unavailable”.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

_The code: _

Presence auth = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribe);

auth.setFrom("myAccount@myServer.mycompany.com")

auth.setTo("myname@yahoo.myname.mycompany.com")

fConnection.sendPacket(authorize);

_The stdout excerpt: _

RECV (22610276):

<presence id=“6333i-5” to="myname@yahoo.myname.mycompany.com" from="otherAccount@myname.mycompany.com" type=“subscribe”></presence>

INTERPRETED:

<presence id=“6333i-5” to="myname@yahoo.myserver.mycompany.com" from="otherAccount@myserver.mycompany.com/myResource" type=“subscribe”/>

OK. Here’s the solution. I definitely didn’t see this in the pai docs, but perhaps missed it.

Instead I examined the stdout when set in debug mode. The Spark client added the extra ‘iq roster’ stanzas.

I needed to explicitly send the roster packet:

RosterPacket rosterPacket = new RosterPacket();

rosterPacket.setTo(serverJid);

rosterPacket.setType(IQ.Type.SET);

RosterPacket.Item item = new RosterPacket.Item(pJid,pJid);

item.setItemType(RosterPacket.ItemType.to);

rosterPacket.addRosterItem(item);

fConn.sendPacket(rosterPacket);
