chat program

[jilshi]

i am creating my own web site using jsp. i plan to add 'chat service' like mirc or icq into my web site. how can i create the 'chat'? is there any third party software that i can use?

Both of the examples you gave require the use of a server normally. There are many free IRC servers you can use to make a channel and then make a java client connect to them. ICQ I'm not so sure about.

I have jpilot for my web based client. Feel free to try it out at http://www.web-techs.net/jpilot/chat1.html

Just change your nickname and click Connect. That's the (in)famous #Distributedcomputing chat that's been alive for going on 4 years now. We are using Jay Bergs server at ecompute.org (the guy that managed the Ecc2-109 prject that just finished.

Come on in and ask some questions if you want...
