openfire smack sending packet 404 error means?

Question

when sending packet to openfire using Smack, i get error remote-server-not-found(404) . Can anyone please explain what does thet error means? it mean fail to connect to server or the packet has problem?

        PacketFilter responseFilter = new PacketIDFilter(packet.getPacketID());
        PacketCollector response = connection.createPacketCollector(responseFilter);

        connection.sendPacket(packet);



        // Wait up to a certain number of seconds for a reply.
        Packet result = response.nextResult(timeout);



        // Stop queuing results
        response.cancel();



        if (result == null) {
            throw new XMPPException("No response from server.");
        }
        else if (result.getError() != null) {  

            System.out.println("error:"+result.getError());   //i get error here.... 404
            throw new XMPPException(result.getError());
        }

//--- below is how i do connect to openfire .

        ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration("localhost", 5222);
        config.setCompressionEnabled(true);
        config.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(true);



        XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPConnection(config);
        // Connect to the server
        connection.connect();
        // Log into the server
        connection.login("test", "test","testresource");

i attached the xmpp xml that i received from log

Answer 1

This error is generated by the server (see XMPPError). I tried myself to get the exact same error code, but failed. However, I have the feeling that this is a misconfiguration of the server. Did you try connecting with another client, e.g. using your favorite Jabber client?

You could also try to enable Smacks XMPP debugging feature and post the messages that caused the error:

static {
    XMPPConnection.DEBUG_ENABLED = true;
}

(You may also want to add smackx-debug.jar to get even more debugging features)

Answer 2

I encountered a similar problem that I just recently solved.

I have an Openfire server running on my local computer, and I'm using the Smack API to communicate with the server. In Openfire, I defined two users: sender, and receiver. I did not use email addresses for usernames.

In my code I have a connection for "sender" on one thread, and a connection for "receiver" on a separate thread. Initially, when sending messages, I received remote-server-not-found(404) error responses from the Openfire server. I found that, when creating the chat request by the sender, I needed to set the participant as receiver@[Openfire domain].

So if your Openfire domain is foo, it would be receiver@foo. Obviously, this is not the email address of the "receiver" user. Typically, the domain is really just the name of the machine on which the Openfire server is running.

Answer 3

please check if the packet is sent to the right user!

You should set a valid JID for the "to" attribute of the iq packet, so the server can send the packet to the receiver. I got this error before because I set the wrong JID to the packet.

btw, you can add XMPPConnection.DEBUG_ENABLED = true in your code to see what you sent or look the error log in openfire web console, and you may find some error like this: Error trying to connect to remote server: theWrongHost(DNS lookup: theWrongHost:5269)
