[jdev] Multiple legacy connections; XEP-0100 / XEP-0077

[Harlan Iverson]

Hi,

Just a brief introduction, this is my first post to the list. My name is
Harlan and I'm from the Minneapolis, MN, USA. I've been excited about Jabber
for several years, and working with it heavily for just over one year. My
current project is an open source, web based Jabber client.

So on to my problem: I would like to allow multiple legacy sessions per
gateway protocol (eg. multiple AIM sessions) through a single client xmpp
connection. I don't see anything explicit in the XEPs and am wondering if
anyone has accomplished this and how. I have some [complicated] solutions
that I can explain if there's a lack of a better answer, but I fear I may
just be over-thinking the issue :).

Thanks in advance for any help,

Harlan

This is a design issue related the the gateways, and is only limited by
their implementation. So far none of them support this feature, except
perhaps the irc transports which allows connections to multiple irc servers
at the same time. Generally people get around the limitation by either
using multiple client jids, or several transport instances.
