ColdFusion and Google Talk - The missing link

After spending several hours trying to get this to work, I was finally able to get ColdFusion 7 and Google Talk to communicate with each other.

I steped through the tutorial by Ben Forta on the sys con website, and at then end, was unable to get the event gateway running. It just "stalled" and said starting. It never threw an error (in the eventgateway.log or the exception.log) nor connected; it just said "starting..." but never started.

Then I stumbled on this little gem. I must have looked at 10 different blogs before I found this site on Adobe (thanks Google)

All you have to do is replace the smack.jar with this one, and there is no problem.

I hope this helps!
