Very good John, I have start reviewing your patch and have couple comments :
General comments on the xmpp api
- we shouldn't need a factory (XMPPEndPointFactory), we should
configure components in a tuscany/sca composite and then use
dependency injection
- Removing the factory mentioned above, then we can refactor the
xmpp.api package to xmpp to follow the same pattern as the other
components
- we usually discourage @author tags at apache and I have removed
them from your patch
For the implementation, it seems that we are using servlets, and I was
wondering if we could use some components in conjunction with the
tuscany/sca rest binding which would hide some of the Servlet api
specific details from the application developer and no necessary
changes in web.xml required.
I'll continue to look into the API in the next couple days and see if
I have further comments or ideas to make things more abstract.
We should also consider building a sample that uses these service, or
update the existent store sample with some scenarios that could use
the xmpp component.
Anyway, I'll be applying the patch and we can continue enhancing it in trunk
