Hi Metajack,

First of all many thanks for your help through this forum.

I have one question , if 100 people or more share two common jid's like(send@server,recv@server) and start conversation at the same time may be from one machine or different machine then what will be the impact on performance issue.

I have a very very simple public chat application so I do not want to go for room creation etc... on xmpp admin console, what I want to do it using two common jid's.

Please provide your valuable suggestion on this.

Thanks

It's not a common use case to abuse JIDs like that, so you can imagine the server's won't be tuned for it. As far as the XMPP protocol itself goes, it might be more chatty than you'd like because servers are required to reflect presence to all resources for a JID. So if a resource comes online, all the other JIDs get notified. If it changes presence, all the other JIDs get notified. This may or may not be a problem for your use case.

There's no reason you can't use MUC in a simple chat application. The one from the book is a reasonable example of this.

Hi Metajack,

I am sorry, I am not getting this so probably you are saying that my use case for public chat will slow down the chat application.

Thanks

Hi Metajack,

I am confused Please suggest if my above use case will slowdown the chat application.

Thanks

I have no data to base the conclusion on, but my feeling is that it will cause a lot of extra network traffic for all the presence broadcasts. Whether this is extra data or something you'd have done anyway is application specific. The only thing you can do is try and see and measure whether the performance is acceptable.
