Smack includes a built-in debugging console that will let you track all XML traffic between

Smack includes two built-in debugging consoles that will let you track all XML traffic between
the client and server. A <a href="#lite">lite debugger</a> which is part of the <tt>smack.jar</tt>
and an <a href="#enhanced">enhanced debugger</a> contained in <tt>smackx-debug.jar</tt>.

When debugging mode is enabled, a debug window will appear when each new connection is created.
The window will contain the following information:

Smack uses the following logic to decide the debugger console to use:
</p>
<ol>
<li>It will first try use the debugger class specified in the Java system property
<tt>smack.debuggerClass</tt>. This is a good place if you want to hook your own
debugger console. If you need to develop your own debugger all you need to do is
implement the <tt>SmackDebugger</tt> interface and then set the system property
on the command line such as:<p>
<tt>java -Dsmack.debuggerClass=my.company.com.MyDebugger SomeApp </tt><p>
<li>If step 1 fails then the next option is to try to use the enhanced debugger. The
file <tt>smackx-debug.jar</tt> contains the enhanced debugger. Therefore you will need
to place the jar file in the classpath. For situations where space is an issue you
may want to only deploy <tt>smack.jar</tt> in which case the enhanced debugger won't be
available.<p>
<li>The last option if the previous two steps fail is to use the lite debugger. The lite
debugger is a very good option for situations where you need to have low memory footprint.

When debugging mode is enabled, a debug window will appear containing tabs for each new created connection.
The window will contain the following information:
<img src="images/enhanceddebugger.png" width="479" height="400" alt="" border="0" align="right">
<ul>
<li>Connection tabs -- each tab shows debugging information related to the connection.
<li>Smack info tab -- shows information about Smack (e.g. Smack version, installed components, etc.).
</ul>
The connection tab will contain the following information:
<ul>
<li>All Packets -- shows sent and received packets information parsed by Smack.
<li>Raw Sent Packets -- raw XML traffic generated by Smack and sent to the server.
<li>Raw Received Packets -- raw XML traffic sent by the server to the client.
<li>Ad-hoc message -- allows to send ad-hoc packets of any type.
<li>Information -- shows connection state and statistics.
