Hi All ,

I am new to smack and need your help deciding on something:

1. Actually I want to create a group chat application ( I cant find any good groupchat application that supports good performance ,free and embeddeble on custome wesites if you are aware of any please let me know ).

In my groupchat application I am thinking of deploying on google app engine hence i can use Google appengine RPC to communicate between my chat server and client , and  not using xmpp messages bettween them as google charges for every xmpp message and if needed in future I will start using xmpp messages on wire..

So what i want is to create and send recv xmpp messages but not using the xmpp protocol on wire but just using google app engine rpc mechanism.

Here is the flow

GWT Chat Client  ---------------------------------------------------------        My Chat Server ( Google app engine )

                          ( Here I want to send/recv xmpp messages but encapsulated in RPC data)

So for encoding /decoding of xmpp messages i want to use smack api .

Can anybody let me know if its feasible and a good idea to go ahead.

Alternatively if anybody can suggest me any chat room kind of free service where i can create multiple chatroom at runtime and can customise some  GUI for it that will be great .

Speeqe seemed ok but i was not able to integarate on my website if anybod have any pointers please provide.

Thanks

Saurabh
