Just out of curiosity: What is the problem with the
old JABBER module?
Why not extending the old module?
The design of jabber module was to act as a
Jabber client for each SIP
user, the new module acts as a XMPP server or as a XMPP component (if
used with stand alone XMPP server).
This new module uses only one connection to any XMPP server, while the
old Jabber module uses one per user, which does not scale. The jabber
module is more for connecting to other IM networks (like icq) via a
jabber server, and required to have a Jabber account for each SIP user,
and will stay so.
The XMPP module is simple oriented to XMPP and latest RFC/drafts which
removes lot of restrictions and constraints (like bounding a sip address
to a jabber account). Following the latest XMPP RFCs we could implement
server to server communication in a easy manner, improving the
scalability a lot.
Having everything in one module would result in something very heavy and
hard to maintain.

Hello,
thanks to Andrea Spirea, a new SIP-to-XMPP gateway was included in
OpenSER. There is a new module, XMPP, which enables SIP users to chat
with any XMPP user (Google Talk, Jabber) user in the world.
The design permits flexibility in configuration and deployments, the
new module can at alone as a XMPP server or can work in tandem with a
standalone XMPP server (for more complex communication scenarios like
TLS ...). Also, the module can be plugged in your main SIP server or
can be deployed alone, enabling in a easy manner geographic
distribution and redundancy.
There is no need of mapping SIP addresses to XMPP addresses, no need
to store translation profiles, everything is done in the fly. The
conversation will survive to restarts, the session being recovered
form the messages. As a result, there is no need of a persistent
storage, the footprint is very small, embedding the gateway in small
devices should be straightforward.
The news is posted here:

Module's documentation:
http://www.openser.org/docs/modules/1.2.x/xmpp.html
Feedback will be very appreciated, the next steps are to enhance the
standalone-xmpp-server version of the module with other features of a
xmpp server and to add support for presence and voice. Testing and
reports are always welcome.
Cheers,
Daniel
