I see XMPP getPresence() has been deprecated in favor of unnecessarily complicated (for the task of checking presence) XMPP postbacks... so now I have to build a little subsystem to track and maintain user state, when state could be detected with 1 simple call in earlier GAE versions. I don't want to catch and inspect every XMPP state change from all users - that is a waste of billable resources.
All I want is to check, when necessary, that the user is present or not. What was wrong with the code below? How about keeping it simple... as with previous versions? if (xmpp.getPresence(jid).isAvailable()) { // do stuff } Working around the limitations of GAE is becoming increasingly frustrating. Call me cynical, but all this deprecation does is increase billable usage and create unnecessary code. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
