Re: [JDEV] Renaming

*grin* Actually, I think of it as a resource, just like with HTTP. -David Waite "Emswiler, Mike" wrote: Just my $.02 worth: It is an interesting debate.I started working with jabber some time ago thinking of resource as a location, but now that I?ve used Jabber more and more, I tend to think of it more of a device, as in pager, cell phone, or even email. For example, in my client, I find it useful to be able to send a text message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]/workpc, [EMAIL PROTECTED]/homepc, [EMAIL PROTECTED]/pager, [EMAIL PROTECTED]/mobile or [EMAIL PROTECTED]/cell , or even [EMAIL PROTECTED]/email (which just redirects to whatever email address I have programmed it to ? during the day it might be my work email and at night it might be home email?) Or I can just send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and let my client determine the resource to actually deliver to based on the schedule and delivery mechanism I (as the end-user of my client) provide. Of course, my client is more voice-centric and acts more like a CB than anything else, so mostly it goes to homepc or workpc resources ? too bad Nextel hasn?t published a gateway to their Direct Connect feature J yet. Irregardless of the client usage, *I* think resource is the perfect name because it is truly generic, allowing it to be a location or a device, or just about anything else someone might envision 10 years from now. However, in developing *your* client, you might find it useful to call it whatever you like ? it?s just a display label you present to the user.Besides, I can?t imagine the work involved in actually renaming the thing throughout all the <grin> documentation, web pages, etc. or even more evilly, the source itself J Thanks, MikeE
