Check out XMPP-based solutions. E.g. http://www.jivesoftware.com/
has open source Java client (Smack) and server (Wildfire). Just be
aware that the server component is GPL licensed. If this doesn't
fit your needs, you may have to buy commercial license from them
for the server component.
Has anyone integrated a chat component in a WebObjects application?
I never used it with WO, but I wrote a Smack-based XMPP client for
Cayenne Remote Object Persistence (aka JavaClient to WO
developers). It enables group "chat" between Cayenne apps, i.e.
targeted notifications of context changes. Pretty cool.
Was this instead of, or in addition to, the use of Hessian (which I
thought you were using, perhaps that it was being used for the actual
data transfers and Smack just for notifications)?
Thanks,
Ashley.
