Subject: Creating a new conference room
I've found a few topics regarding conference room creation, but none specifically answer the question I am about to ask:

Can a conference room be created without having to join it immediately?

For example, I am looking for the following functionality in my app: I want to display a list of available conference rooms to a user. If a desired one doesn't exist, allow the user to submit a name for the new conference room and add it to a list. At this point can the conference room is created. Then the list is refreshed and the user can select the new conference room from the list and join. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Depending on the server configuration you can create a room and set it to persistant in the room configuration. After its created you can leave it and it will stay until it gets destroyed by a owner or admin.

Ok, I understand that idea, but my question is how do you create a room without joining it.

you can't.  You join it, config it, and leave it.
While you config the room it is blocked anyway and does not exist on the server. After you sent the config leave it immediately.

How is the config done? It doesn't look like the MucManager has any properties.

it is possible, but not with the MUC Manager.
What you are looking for are reserved rooms.

Ok, I appreciate you reponding quickly, but that link doesn't help me if I don't know how that can be achieved using the agsXMPP methods available to me. For the most part I have used portions of the MiniClient example for my needs, but now need to add this creating room functionality which the MiniClient doesn't demonstrate. What are the steps I need to do to code the Reserved Room?

You have to send an OwnerIQ to the MUC service.

  1. OwnerIq iq = new OwnerIq();
  2. iq.Type = IqType.get;
  3. iq.To = roomJid

the MUC server will reply with an configuration xdata form or error.
If its a xdata form then show it in your gui, fill it out and submit it. If the server accepts it and replies with no error then the room is created
