Subject: agsXMPP for Silverlight 2
Hi,

I'm building a Chat app in Silverlight 2, and I wanted to use the sample project from the article posted on your blog as an example. I installed an Openfire server on my computer to perform connection tests locally. I tried to run your app, using some account I created on that server.

The connection doesn't even occur, and I don't get any message on the server console, though I changed the client-to-server port to 4530 in both server settings and silverlight code, and provided all the information to make the connection via xmpp protocol.

If you have any details on how you managed to establish a connection in silverlight, please let me know. I have a lot of time to spend on this work as it is a part of a school project.

Thanks,

Paul

hi Paul,

I run the server on my local developer machine on port 4502.
Because Silverlight allows only connections on a small port range and no cross domain requests.

Hi Alex,

As I said in the first message, I also configured both the local server and the silverlight application to communicate on port 4530, which is in the range that Silverlight supports, so I don't think this is where the problem comes from. Anyway I will try out with 4502 just to see hat it does.

For cross domain communication, silverlight 2 beta 2 now allows it but with a condition : you have to define a security policy in a file that tells the app if the connection is allowed or not (you can provide ip address range, port range, etc.)µ.


Check this blog post which explains it in details :

I've tried several configurations on my OpenFire server but I still cannot connect to it with your sample application. Can you give me some details about your own local config : what server you use to run the app locally, what your server configuration is, etc.

Thank you,

Hi Paul,

I run a local ejabberd server on the domain alex-laptop which is the workstation nae of my developer machine. I attached my ejabberd config. There you can see a second connection manager for c2s on port 4502.

Did you try to sniff the network traffic on your machine to see if it creates a tcp connection and exchanges some xmpp stanzas with the server or not?

Thank you for the response,

in fact I tried with another approach, using a web service in my silverlight application to make the connection. But I think I will give a try with a ejabberd server, because right now I'm using Openfire and the problem might come from some compatibility issues.

I'll let you know if it worked. Thanks again.

Paul, do you have a policy server running on your local machine like described here:
http://silverlight.net/blogs/msnow/archive/2008/06/26/full…

Today I updated to the release version of Silverlight 2.0 and it doesnt work without the policy server.
You can contact me directly and I will send you the latest Silverlight version and a Policy server project.

Regards,
Alex
