Server Configuration
At this stage, we should be fairly comfortable with the notion of a jabberd backbone and a set of components that combine to provide the features needed for a complete messaging system. We’ve looked at fragments of configuration in the previous section; now we’ll examine the configuration directives in more detail.
It’s not uncommon for people installing a Jabber server for the first time to be daunted (I was terrified!) by the contents of the jabber.xml configuration file. But really, for the most part, it’s just a collection of component descriptions—what those components are, how they’re connected, what packets they are to process, and what their individual configurations are.
