Backends for communication
JWChat relies on some service either implementing
HTTP Polling
or
HTTP Binding
(through the use of JSJaC).
There a Jabber™ servers out there having such kind of services
built-in directly like ejabberd that comes with an http polling
interface. If your server doesn't support any of these protocols itself
there are external software components available which let you connect
to any jabber server using HTTP Polling or HTTP Binding like
punjab or
JabberHTTPBind.
