Updated sources for webchat - works with 3.7.0

Issac · March 30, 2011, 4:03pm

Hi all.

Maybe I’m being dense, but it seems that there’s a trivial fix for getting webchat working with 3.7.0 - just a matter of using the new jetty 7 (which work almost out-of-the-box once you rename the classes).

Attached is a patch and binary WAR file

akrherz · March 30, 2011, 4:55pm

Hi Issac,

Thanks for the patch. Would you like to become the maintainer of webchat? Positions are open!

Thanks for that, I will test it and post findings. Although now I run Webchat on Tomcat and honestly must say it meets my requirements.

Update: grabbed binary (thanks Issac) and applied, seems to be all working as it used to be.

Issac · March 30, 2011, 7:41pm

I wouldn’t jump so far - for one thing, I’m not sure how long I’m going to have time to hack on it; for another, I’m still lost figuring out how the heck to get to the sources of src\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\workgroup.jar which has much of the code that I’m looking to work with now.

Having said that, I’d still be happy to contribute as long as I stay assigned on this at my day job, and I guess some progress on the plugin is better than none

Arghhh I don’t know what is wrong with my configuration that it still isn’t working. I keep getting 503 service unavailable every troubleshooting step I take. For background

OF 3.7 all latest source compiled/Done JRE Less folder from site, as well as installer.

openfire-service standard as well as the modified for 64bit jvm.

On a Win 2008 Enterprise box with 24gb of ram, Sql Server 2005 Enterprise. There is something I am not getting. Still trying though… sigh.

Walter_Ebeling · April 2, 2011, 11:34am

Can you please provide an installation instruction to get Web Chat work? There is nothing really well written down and I gladly review and extend it to get a documentation of FastPath / Webchat.

Thanks Issac

Issac · April 2, 2011, 6:34pm

I considered updating the README, but honestly, there’s nothing else to really add if you’re going to user the built-in jetty server (and if you’re deploying for production, you should either know what to do with a WAR file, or figure it out so you have some idea what you’ve done, or else re-think what you;re doing (I was personally in the second group)).

Upload the fastpath plugin
Upload the webchat plugin
In the fastpath menu, there should be a link to “tools”
Click on the webchat link - you’ll be prompted to set up the plugin - the defaults are probably correct
To give it a spin, either add your user to the “demo” group and login with your Spark client, or else use the login demo/demo which Fastpath sets up by default

That’s it.

JR_Prahl · May 13, 2011, 7:04pm

Hello Issac. I can make the webchat work locally but how do i point it to my local server from the web? Is that something that I am going to need a lot more reading on or is it a simple thing to do. I have seen serveral examples around of the html script to point it to a particular domain but I don’t quite follow that because my server is not running on a domain. How do I make my server run through the domain? I am a little confused as you can see about how to make this function properly. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks

Tomislav_Burazin · May 14, 2011, 6:06am

Issac could you by any chance explain how to patch the webchat.war file or at least point me to a site that does? Setting up Openfire was a breeze, but I’m a bit lost on this part.

I personally don’t have a clue what to do with a war file, but I got stuck with the project… Any and all help would be appreciated.

Joey_Fisher · May 14, 2011, 12:20pm

I simply uploaded Isaac’s WAR file in the plugins section of the admin console and voila, it worked. The “Tools” link appeared inside the Fastpath page, and when I clicked it I didn’t get any errors.

Didn’t do anything with the “patch” file, which appears to be more of a log than an executable patch (but I could be mistaken).

Tomislav_Burazin · May 16, 2011, 6:46am

Interestingly enough, I deleted the existing webchat.war file and the webchat folder (for the 5th time) and it now works (and showing v. 4.0.2).
Thanks Joey! And thank you Issac for fixing this plugin.

Solutions_Squad · May 16, 2011, 12:23pm

So, no matter what I try, I still get an error.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Joey_Fisher · May 16, 2011, 12:30pm

All I can suggest is to clear out any fastpath webchat plugins you may have downloaded/installed. The ONLY webchat plugin you want to use is the one in this thread.

I had similar problems, but I found I didn’t have a good version of java running. I was using Ubuntu server on a powerpc, and apparently sun doesn’t make a solid java port for the ppc linux clientele. I ended up using a different intel x86 based computer, Ubuntu 10 server, installed sun java from the repo’s, and installed everything successfully.

Another thread mentioned trying port 7070 instead of 9090. But that didn’t really work for me - 9090 worked great for me.

Solutions_Squad · May 16, 2011, 12:36pm

So, to give a little more detail.

This is Openfire 3.7.0 ronning on a Windows 2k3 machine.

I’m using the embedded web server.

I have tried to delete the plugin via the browser (which fails), then stoptting the openfire service and removing the webchat.war and webchat folder from C:\Program Files\Openfire\plugins.

I then installed the webcaht.war on here, which gets installed, but when I click on tools is when I get that error.

I have tried it about 8 times now with the same results. ;(

Here’s some more errors:

Joey_Fisher · May 16, 2011, 12:43pm

I’m pretty new to openfire, so I can’t really offer much in the way of support. All I could really suggest is doing a complete reinstall or possibly even a clean build where you install the right plugin from the start.

Oh and maybe check your java runtime installation - make sure it’s the latest version and is the sun branded runtime. It seems to be a bit picky about that.
