Connecting Anonymously to an XMPP Group Chat using XIFF
I posted some code the other day that showed how to use the XIFF AS3 Library to connect to an XMPP server and join a group chat room.
Below is an slightly modified example that shows how to login anonymously, and connect to a room.
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.conference.Room;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.core.JID;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.core.XMPPSocketConnection;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.events.LoginEvent;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.events.RoomEvent;
import org.jivesoftware.xiff.events.XIFFErrorEvent;
private var connection:XMPPSocketConnection;
private function onCreationComplete():void
{
connection = new XMPPSocketConnection();
connection.useAnonymousLogin = true;
connection.server = "mesh.local";
connection.port = 5222;
connection.addEventListener(LoginEvent.LOGIN, onLogin);
connection.addEventListener(XIFFErrorEvent.XIFF_ERROR, onError);
connection.connect("standard");
}
private function onLogin(e:LoginEvent):void
{
var room:Room = new Room(connection);
room.roomJID = new JID("test@conference.mesh.local");
room.nickname = "frank";
room.addEventListener(RoomEvent.ROOM_JOIN, onRoomJoin);
room.join();
}
private function onRoomJoin(e:RoomEvent):void
{
Room(e.target).sendMessage("im here");
}
private function onError(e:XIFFErrorEvent):void
{
trace(e.errorCode);
}
The two differences are that you set:
connection.useAnonymousLogin = true;
and dont send a username and password. Once you join the room, you can then set your nick like so:
room.nickname = "frank";
I have set up a test chat room on my server if you want to play around with the code.
