I'm creating a new multiUserChat room successfully and adding users to this room but when the users go offline they leave the room how can I keep the user in the room permanently I searched the Room config in openfire and no such option please help and if not possible what is the best way to make a permanent groupchat (e.g. whatapp grroup)??? here is the code I'm using
MultiUserChat muc = new MultiUserChat(MyApplication.connection, room);
// Create the room
SmackConfiguration.setPacketReplyTimeout(2000);
muc.create("testGroup2s2");
// Get the the room's configuration form
Form form = muc.getConfigurationForm();
// Create a new form to submit based on the original form
Form submitForm = form.createAnswerForm();
// Add default answers to the form to submit
for (Iterator<FormField> fields = form.getFields(); fields.hasNext();) {
FormField field = (FormField) fields.next();
if (!FormField.TYPE_HIDDEN.equals(field.getType()) && field.getVariable() != null) {
// Sets the default value as the answer
submitForm.setDefaultAnswer(field.getVariable());
}
}
// Sets the new owner of the room
List<String> owners = new ArrayList<String>();
owners.add(MyApplication.connection.getUser() );
submitForm.setAnswer("muc#roomconfig_roomowners", owners);
muc.sendConfigurationForm(submitForm);
The XMPP MUC protocol does not support such a thing. Once the full JID that joined the room, (or the bare JID, in case the MUC component supports joining a MUC from multiple resources of a JID) goes offline, the JID will also leave the MUC.
