pymsn-t does not start, no logs are available

Hello!

I am trying to launch MSN transport on Gentoo, I installed pymsn-t version
0.11.2, configured it, but when starting it does not start and it does not
produce any logs or debug messages.

I tried to start it with python pymsn-t.py -c /etc/jabber/pymsn-t.xml -D

However it just prints message "Removing stale PID file" and exits.

What could be wrong there and how to fix it?

First of all, you should be using jabber:x:data forms to extend in-band
registration - jabber:iq:register schema is fixed and not extensible.

Secondly - jabberd 2.1 does not support this. 

But then - the whole in-band registration (jabber:iq:register) is frown
and there is a tendency to recommend out of band (jabber:x:oob)
registration (via a web page, etc.), and this is supported by jabberd as
of 2.1.9.

JSO - Best Choice for Java Jabber Application?

Hi everyone!
I would like to write a Jabber Java component/server that receives
presence data from and publishes presence data into a jabber network
(each direction for multiple accounts).
During evaluating the available Java APIs, I found out, that JSO seems
to be a good approach (may be the only way in Java??). But the last JSO 
release is of 2005. Is it such perfect or not maintained anymore?

Thanks in advance,
Sven

I'm pretty sure that you don't want to write a server for that. It should 
be easier (to create/to maintain) your task as external component, but 
then again you didn't really say what you are up to. It currently _seems_ 
to be comparable to the gateway/transport types of external components.
If you settle on this approach the number of libraries that are available 
increases quite a lot ;)

Ben
