ochomo · January 25, 2008, 9:09am

Hi all,

Does anyone out there know how to implement an xmpp client to a server
like ejabberd using ruby?

Kindly, give me any links to resources.

The code below is working with the xmpp4r form
http://home.gna.org/xmpp4r/

require ‘XMPP4R’
begin
# Connect to the server and set presence to available for chat.
jid = Jabber::JID.new(‘myjid@xmppserver/Resource’)
client = Jabber::Client.new(jid, false)
client.connect
client.auth(‘passwd’)
client.send(Jabber::Presence.new.set_show(:chat).set_status(‘Ruby!’))

   # Send an Instant Message.
   body = 'Hi XMPP'
   to_jid = Jabber::JID.new('tojid@xmppserver')
   message = Jabber::Message::new(to_jid,

body).set_type(:normal).set_id(‘1’)
client.send(message)
end

question:

how do I receive messages, since I can only send?

Try looking at some of the examples. If you installed the gem, then go
to:
…/gems/xmpp4r-0.3.2/data/doc/xmpp4r/examples/

And, look for add_message_callback in the RDoc:
http://home.gna.org/xmpp4r/rdoc/
http://home.gna.org/xmpp4r/rdoc/classes/Jabber/Stream.html#M000487

examples/basic/echo_threaded.rb:
cl = Client::new(myJID)
cl.connect
…
cl.add_message_callback do |m|
if m.type != :error
puts m.body
end
end

I had downloaded the xmpp4r gem and installed.

Here’s a test script I played with awhile ago to pipe the output of a
program to me over jabber using xmpp4r-simple:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘highline’
require ‘xmpp4r-simple’

hl = HighLine.new

Username = hl.ask("Username: ")
Password = hl.ask("Password: ") { |q| q.echo = “x” }
Notifier = hl.ask("Notifier: ")

Resource = “notificabot”
Server = “XXX”

@jabber = { :username => “#{Username}/#{Resource}@#{Server}”,
:password => “#{Password}” }

@notify = “#{Username}@jabber.ctc.com”

begin
Signal.trap(:INT) { raise }
Signal.trap(:TERM) { raise }

IO.popen(Notifier, “r”) do |notifier|
im = Jabber::Simple.new(@jabber[:username], @jabber[:password])

begin
  im.status(:dnd, "notificabot")

  notifier.each_line do |line|
    im.deliver(@notify, line.chomp)
    puts line
  end
rescue
  puts $!.message
ensure
  im.disconnect
end

end
rescue
puts $!.message
end

Something like that, i believe.

client.add_message_callback do |m|
print “#{m.from} - #{m.body}\n”
end

Thanks for your help.

I googled out on xmppr4-simple. It appears to easier and working well.
Here is the code that runs well with ejabberd sever:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘xmpp4r-simple’
im = Jabber::Simple.new(‘zo@myejabberd’,‘zo’)

im.deliver(‘gm@myejabberd’,‘hello xmpp’)

puts ‘send done’
sleep(3)

im.received_messages { |msg| puts “#{msg.body} #{msg.type}” }

im.disconnect

Hi Zablon,

I can send IM to only by setting presence status, But my account have
more than 50 or 100 contacts. It will take long time to set the presence
and getting status message from each contact.

ie,
client.send(Jabber::Presence.new.set_show(:chat).set_status(‘Ruby!’))
line of code breaks the functionality of client.send(message).

Setting presence took long time, but before to that send message code
executed. If I have to wait for getting result of setting presence and
then running the send message code only results the required output.

Is there any way to send IM without setting Presence.

My sever installed with Openfire and IM gateway plugin. Whether I have
to install any other plugin or source to automatically log into
Transport.

Please give your valuable suggestion.

Regards,
T.Veeraa.

Veera,
I was only trying out on this code. I didnt go much deep.

I was trying to find a way of communicating between my software modules.
I decided to use ISO 8583 protocol instead.

Sorry, I wish I could help.
