Error on smack 4.2.0 : IN AAAA yielded an error response NX_DOMAIN

Question

i start openFire and test it with spark everything is ok but when i try to connect with smack 4.2.0 in android studio i got this error:

Ljavax/naming/directory/InitialDirContext;

and my dependencies is this:

compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-java7:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-im:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-extensions:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android-extensions:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-bosh:4.2.0"

when remove this : "compile org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-java7:4.2.0" from dependencies and add this: compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android:4.2.0" my dependencies become like this:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0' compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-im:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-extensions:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android-extensions:4.2.0" compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-bosh:4.2.0"

I got This Error:

org.jivesoftware.smack.SmackException$ConnectionException: The following addresses failed: '192.168.209.2:5222' failed because: de.measite.minidns.hla.ResolutionUnsuccessfulException: Asking for 192.168.209.2.

IN AAAA yielded an error response NX_DOMAIN

the part of code that make error when i try to conn.connect() is this:

XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration config = null;  
            try {  
                config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()  
                        .setUsernameAndPassword("admin", "thepass")  
                        .setXmppDomain("192.168.1.3")  
                        .setHost("192.168.209.2")  
                        .setPort(5222)  
                        .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)  
                        .build();  
            } catch (Exception e) {  
                e.printStackTrace();  
            }  
                AbstractXMPPConnection conn1 = new XMPPTCPConnection(config);  
                conn1.setReplyTimeout(60000);  
                conn1.setPacketReplyTimeout(60000);  
                conn1.connect();

remove .setXmppDomain("192.168.1.3") this method and setServiceName() and provide user name and password while your login to the xmpp server – Hua

this works in smack 4.1.6 and I'm using currently it works for me thanks – Hua

yes its work in above 4.2.0 versions currently i'm using 4.1.9 and it's working but i need the new version 4.2.0 – Agrostology

use .setHostAddress(InetAddress.getByName(DOMAIN_IP_ADDRESS)) instead of .setHost(HOST) – Koh

Answer 1

The error you have encountered is stemming from incomplete addressing of your XMPP server.

Imagine this scenario:

my ejabberd server is running on this address: 192.168.209.2 #ejabberd server

There is a xmpp domain named "localhost" There are two JIDs,

"davood@localhost" and "sadegh@localhost"

In smack, I want to authenticate with my user, say "davood@localhost". Then I do it as follow:

            InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName("192.168.209.2");
            HostnameVerifier verifier = new HostnameVerifier() {
                @Override
                public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) {
                    return false;
                }
            };
            DomainBareJid serviceName = JidCreate.domainBareFrom("localhost");
            XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
                    .setHost(server) # it will be resolved by setHostAddress method
                    .setUsernameAndPassword("davood","mypass")
                    .setPort(5222)
                    .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)
                    .setXmppDomain(serviceName)
                    .setHostnameVerifier(verifier)
                    .setHostAddress(addr)
                    .setDebuggerEnabled(true)
                    .build();
            AbstractXMPPConnection conn1 = new XMPPTCPConnection(config);

            conn1.connect();

            if(conn1.isConnected()){
                Log.d("XMPP","Connected");
            }
            conn1.login();

            if(conn1.isAuthenticated()){
                Log.d("XMPP","Authenticated");
                EntityBareJid jid = JidCreate.entityBareFrom("sadegh@localhost");
                org.jivesoftware.smack.chat2.Chat chat = ChatManager.getInstanceFor(conn1).chatWith(jid);
                chat.send("Eureka, I am connected!");


            }

I have the same issue to connect emulator to ejabbred server. I followed your snippet code to set host address as 'InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName("10.0.2.2")'; but it throws this exception: The following addresses failed: 'null:5222'. – Anthelmintic

Answer 2

Please check : https://github.com/igniterealtime/Smack/wiki/Smack-4.2-Readme-and-Upgrade-Guide

In previous versions of Smack, ConnectionConfiguration.setHost(String) could be used to set the XMPP service's host IP address. This is no longer possible due to the added DNSSEC support. You have to use the new connection configuration ConnectionConfiguration.setHostAddress(InetAddress) instead.

You can check this also.

I had somewhat same issue with Xmpp Connection in Kotlin and I implemented the solution based on @davood-falahati 's answer with some changes, it worked fine for me:

private fun initializeXmppConnection(){
        val addr: InetAddress = InetAddress.getByName("90.182.109.19")
        val verifier: HostnameVerifier = HostnameVerifier { s, sslSession -> false }
        val serviceName: DomainBareJid = JidCreate.domainBareFrom("im.mydomain.ir")
        val config: XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
            .setHost("90.182.109.19")
            .setUsernameAndPassword("60b9d4d75943a","9yqx7heu6aok4g40so8s0w8oocow8w8")
            .setPort(80)
            .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)
            .setXmppDomain(serviceName)
            .setHostnameVerifier(verifier)
            .setHostAddress(addr)
            .setSendPresence(true)
            .setCompressionEnabled(false)
            .setConnectTimeout(30_000)
            .build()

        val conn: AbstractXMPPConnection = XMPPTCPConnection(config)
        conn.connect();

        if(conn.isConnected())
            Log.d("msn","Connected");

        conn.login();

        if(conn1.isAuthenticated()){
            Log.d("msn","Authenticated");

        }
    }
