Research and Application of XMPP-Based Modules in B/S Architecture

Enterprise Instant Message System (EIMS) has gradually replaced the traditional communication way in daily office work by instantly and effectively delivering all types of messages between the internal users. In order to realize real-time collaboration, reduce unnecessary conferences and promote better network office, more and more enterprises choose to purchase the EIMS products from the third software developers instead of developing the EIMS by themselves. However, the EIMS products were difficult to integrate within the enterprise-oriented systems as the source code was not opened freely and the different messaging protocols have been applied. In this paper, we have designed and implemented the popular modules required by the general EIMS based on the XMPP. The researched EIMS has been combined into the B/S architecture system by configurating the openfire server and utilizing the plug-ins, which has a better flexibility, open-sourced programming framework and high stability with platform independence.
