jaimbot-users Mailing List for Java AIMBot

Hello

Is there anyway to send the "The user is typing" status before sending a
message? I was unable to find the method.


Regards!

Hi,
I have a quick test program to show a problem logging in:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import com.levelonelabs.aim.AIMBuddy;
import com.levelonelabs.aim.AIMClient;

public class JaimTest {
   
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        if (args.length < 2) {
            System.out.println("Usage: JaimTest <username> <password>");
        }
       
        // Make a new client
        AIMClient client = new AIMClient(args[0], args[1]);
       
       
        // Start the thread
        Thread thread = new Thread(client);
        thread.setDaemon(true);
        thread.start();
       
        // Add a buddy (drig23 is me, Dave Rudder)
        AIMBuddy buddy = client.getBuddy("drig23");
        client.addBuddy(buddy);
       
        // Send me a nice message
        client.sendMessage(buddy, "Hi Dave, how ya' doin?");
       
        // Wait until the user hits the enter button
        new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)).readLine();
    }
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I run this with a an account that works fine with gaim, I get:

I haven't been able to login from a Java program for quite a while.  I 
searched the mailing lists and forums of both this project and JaimLib 
(which apparently is showing the same issue).  No dice.  I found some 
suggestions to hardcode the IP address of the server, since the AIM DNS 
seems to be responding with some bad addresses, but the given address 
didn't seem to help.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks a lot,
Dave

Hi,

There is a bug in the AIM library handling of incoming messages, where
leading colons are stripped from messages.  As well, multiple colons in
the body of the message are replaced with single colons.  This is because
the AIMClient is tokenizing the message based on a colon separator.

I am attaching a patch to fix this bug.  The patch basically modifies it
so the message is retrieved using a substring command, rather than the
StringTokenizer method.

Thanks,
Mike

Is the AIM library portion of JAIMBot thread safe?  I want to have a
listener thread and a thread that will occasionally send messages, over
the same AIMClient object.  Will this cause any problems?

By the way, nice work on the library.  From what I've seen it's well
written and works solidly.  I had a user logged on to AIM in about 10
minutes of coding. :)

Hi I am getting an error while starting the JAIMBot 

I am trying to start the AIMBot after confiring the properties (screen
name and password)

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

I'll have to look into the mobile phone AIM thing, I've never tried it.  I'm not aware of
any difference, but I'll take a look.

As for the logging, yes, setting the level to WARNING or SERVERE should report less
logging because it means only show messages that are of that severity or higher.
In the bot.properties you'll see a line like this:
# SEVERE (big problems)> WARNING (problems) > INFO (system status) > FINE (all aim
messages)> FINEST (gory details)

Setting the level to any of those levels only shows you the messages that are at the
level you specify or a level to the left of the level you specify.  So by setting the
level to SEVERE you only see SEVERE messages.

Hope that helps,

Scott

I just downloaded Jaimbot and am eager to begin. I configured the Conf
files, but when I CD to the directory, the Root, and paste in the command,
this is the error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com/levelonelabs/aimb
ot/AIMBot



Any Ideas?
Thanks

Hello,

I recently downloaded JAIMBOT, and would like to just sent a simple
message to another username without receiving an event.  Please let me
know if this is possible with your code, and if not, where I can find
another project that implements this functionality.    Please send any
responces to ik...@ae... as I am not subscribed to the mailing
list.

Thanks!

Ian

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the following code, but I never receive a message.  The 'Echo'
example included with your source distribution works fine.

public class AIM {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        final AIMSender aim=(AIMSender) new   
            AIMClient("xxx","yyy", "Simple Send Message Bot", true);
        AIMBuddy buddy = new AIMBuddy("zzz");
 
        aim.addAIMListener(new AIMAdapter() {
           // do nothing, I only want to sent one message
        });
 
        aim.signOn();
 
        aim.sendMessage(buddy, "Testing message send.");

        aim.signOff();
        
    }
}

When I start jaimbot, I end up with a large number of java processes. 
Is this normal, or something I should be concerned about? Why are there 
more than one?

I've found that if I haven't talked to my Jaimbot in a long time (>30 
minutes or so), it takes a long time (as much as 20 seconds) for it to 
'wake up' and respond. Is this normal? After that first "wake up", 
responses are fast (2-3 seconds).

I'm trying to run Jaimbot from Mac OS X 10.2.  But with no success.  I 
get the following:


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
com/levelonelabs/aimbot/AIMBot

Any ideas?

I have written an AIM bot in perl ( http://shear.sourceforge.net )...
using a few different perl modules (and my own ugly code) to connect to
the aim servers... I've never been very happy with the results.  Either
the bot sends stuff out way too slow, eats all my processor time, or gets
booted from aim (and has to reconnect) frequently.

Since my bot is set up so that the process(es) that connect to aim don't
have to do a whole lot of processing (there is a database back end), I'm
considering switching to a java based process to connect to aim.

I haven't looked at your api yet, but since you've got an example bot that
works, and you have what looks to be good documentation (i haven't read it
all yet, just skimmed it), it seems likely that your library will work
well for my uses; but I've got a couuple questions before I start diving
in.

Is the connection to the aim server through TOC or OSCAR? (not that it
matters a whole lot, I'm just curious)

Does the library provide automatic rate limiting of outgoing messages? (to
attempt to prevent the server from booting connections for being too
chatty)

Does the library provide for connections to ICQ? (If not, I'll probably be
submitting some patches once I get into it... its actually rather simple
to get it to work)

Thank you,

Richard 'toast' Russo

I just released version 1.2 of the Java AIM Library and Java AIM Bot.
These should be usable for the general public now, documentation is soon to come to the website.
