Chris, My personal choice and recommendation is Conference Room (http://www.conferenceroom.com) It *IS* a java client, (fully functioning demo on their site) however it excels in the following ways:
1) The Conference Room Server is basically a Windows based IRC Server. This means you can potentially set up any myriad of bots to handle questions, transfer files, etc in each channel without any great difficulty, as there's a ton of stuff out there for IRC. 2) It's quick -- last time I checked they redid the Java it with Swing lightweight components, they have a simple and an advanced client, and best of all, it's probably as good as, if not better than the Other Java based IRC Client out there -- JPilot. 3) You can use an irc client. =) If you need more selling points, I've set this up in a large scale environment, security fits fine (you can easily code soemthing that requires you a password to connect to the server from the page with the embedded applet), please don't hesitate to contact me off list. Hope it helps, Jas - - - ORIGINAL MESSAGE [ snip ..] A client wants some type of web-based chat integrated into their site. It would be nice if I could incorporate the Chat into the existing security system. Obviously any type of streaming chat would probably be Java-based but that is fine. I remember "back in the day" I would use Peri-Chat, so something similar would be nice.
