So I have all of my users in one group, and when you start the chat client I want to add everyone in that group into my Roster. Let me just show you what i’'m doing:

Roster Group rg = roster.getGroup(“myGroup”);

for (Iterator i=rg.getEntries(); i.hasNext(); ) {

RosterEntry entry = (RosterEntry)i.next();

try {

roster.createEntry(entry.getUser(), entry.getUser(), null);

} catch (XMPPException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

It is throwing (406). If I look that up int he XMPPError API, it describes it as:

CODE - 406

XMPP-ERROR - no-acceptable

TYPE - MODIFY

can someone shed some light on this exception?

Hey Phil,

Are you using shared groups in the server. Shared groups can only be modified from the server. Clients will get a not-acceptable (406) error when try to modify a shared group.
