I want to build a simple web-interface application that can send/receive chat messages to/from GTalk/GMail users. I have been looking at some options like BOSH over XMPP, imified, Google App Engine etc.
I wanted your views on which is the most efficient among all out there and which has a mimimum learning curve since I need this for a very limited functionality. Also, if there is any other way of doing this.
Thanks
Check this link which provides an GWT client for XMPP connections.
You could also use Smack library to make one Java client and run it as an applet.
I’ve seen some Ruby on Rails tutorials on how to use ruby libraries to exchange XMPP messages, a bit of google could put you in the right path.
