Look @ following links ;www.javaworld.com/.../jw-0726-im.htmlhttp://www.openp2p.com/pub/t/78www.sun.com/.../wp_instant_messaging7_2005q1.pdf
you can find lots of samples on the net. why are u going for a web based instant messenger ?web based ones have less capabilities. although it depends on who will use it finally. in some situations u need web based messengers but due to their low capabilities they are not very popular.if you want a usable messanger u should do it with swing or at least applets.
