Hi all, Would anyone like to spearhead an effort to create some Jabber classes to support the creation of Java chatbots? Jabber is an open source instant-messaging system, and in the past I've used Jabber as a project in a first-year programming course. We used the Smack library (http://www.jivesoftware.org/downloads.jsp), but only for human-human messaging. A Jabber chatbot is a program that other humans (or chatbots) can talk to. What would be useful is an easy to use framework that lets people create and run their own chatbots. Any takers? Toby |

Hi, all! The Jabber chatbot framework is now at a state of some usefulness, you can log-in to a server, listen for messages and send messages. It uses Jivesoft's Smack toolkit (which made the framework code _much_ smaller), so you'll need to download it and point the projects classpath to two of the files, smack.jar and smackx.jar, in order to use the program. Just so you know, the test program logs into jabber.org, so if only one person uses the bot unaltered, it will log into jabber.org with the username "csjavaChatBot," and everyone can chat with it. I probably shouldn't have used threads to listen for messages, but I hadn't been sure of how it works, so I'll probably change it later. To log into a server, just create a new instance of JabberBotFramework, using the host name, username, and password (and optionally, port) that you want to use. The constructor will throw an org.jivesoft.smack.XMPPException if a problem occurrs, so you need to catch it. For examples, look at the file JabberBotTest.java in the same package as the JabberBotFramework, csjava.chatbot.*. To send a message, you just call .sendMessage(msg, to), where msg is the String message to send, and to is the username to send it to. To listen for messages, add a MessageListener to your copy of the JabberBotFramework with .addMessageListener(messageListener). That's basically it. If you want more functionality (it currently only supports text messages), please post saying so. Though I'm not sure how to recieve HTML, etc. messages. Anyway, here it is.

Daryl, I just updated from the CVS tree, and I don't see the Jabber code. Where should I look for it? I think it's probably simpler to use events instead of threads for the asynchronous chatting, if you know what I mean. Treat the messages that come from the Jabber server like events. The Smack library should have support for this. Also, I've been chatting with a Surrey high school IT teacher about running a Turing Test contest using Jabber, and if a demo is ready I'd like to let him try it (i.e. at least chat to it).

It should be under csjava.chatbot.*, though if you're viewing the CVS tree through SourceForge's viewer, it's csjava.csjava.chatbot.*. There are three files, MessageListener.java, JabberBotFramework.java, & JabberBotTest.java. The version numbers (if you need them) are 1.3, 1.2, & 1.1, respectively. I don't think that changing it from threaded to event-listening would be too hard, I'd just have to change it a little bit. I noticed I also need to add some more JavaDoc comments to indicate what certain methods do. I should be updating it some soon. The demo I have does exactly what you suggested, though I think I might be able to make it a little more interesting by sending something like "You sent this:", then whatever they sent. Suggestions as to what it should do would be appreciated, although I don't have much experience with text-based user interaction. Daryl.

Thanks Daryl, I was accidentally only looking in the csimage package. Could you make two or more chatbots, and have them talk to each other? Also, can you make a non-Jabber interface for easily testing the chatbots? It shouldn't be too hard. The important thing is to make sure that the design of the chatbot is well-done, so that you can just use the same chatbot in the Jabber interface or the non-jabber interface. Also, the chabot interface should not assume it is talking to a human or another chabot ... It should view the incoming messages simply as strings from some unknown source. Of course, a particular chatbot might be designed to work just with people, but those details should go into the chabot, not into the chatbot interface.

Do you mean like write a Swing window that lets you view what the bot says and have a text input widget to let you talk to the bot? I kind of think that there should be more test bots, I'll see what I can come up with. Daryl.

You can use Swing window if you like ... Although to start with, interacting with the chatbot at the console is probably fine (e.g. Like the command-line in Python).

Hi everyone, This chatbot looks good for an early stage - I'm trying to remember all that stuff about the Smack library from first year, but I think I know what it's doing.

Good point. At least one of the chabots must be able to "take the initiative" and start the conversation. The simplest way is probably just to have it send a "hello" message as soon as it begins the conversation.

Yes, that's a good point. A *very* intelligent chatbot might talk as slowly as a human.

Hi, all! I've added yet another debugging tool for your Jabber chatbots. This one uses the console window. It's called ConsoleBotFramework.java, and it just waits for text input through the console and sends it to the bot, then sends the bot's output to the console. Very simple.

Sounds pretty interesting, I think I'd like to try. However, as I am completely unfamiliar with these packages, I'd have a lot of work ahead. Daryl.

Good. What do you want to do about the TheButtonMatrix code you are working on? Assuming you are more or less done with that, you could make a "todo" package in the developer package, and put what you've done there for someone else to continue with. Let me know what you decide ...

Actually, I was thinking of doing both. TheButtonMatrix isn't very done yet (I want to work with it at *least* a little longer, if not until it's done), so I can't leave it hanging. Maybe not a very good idea, but I'll find that out later. Daryl. Toby Donaldson wrote: >Good. What do you want to do about the TheButtonMatrix code you are working >on?
