External server-side components.
Most Jabber server implementations allow for add-on components that act as a separate entity on the Jabber network, but use the server-to-server functionality of a regular Jabber IM server. These so-called 'external components' are connected to the Jabber server using the Jabber Component Protocol as defined in JEP-0114.
This module allows for writing external server-side component by assigning one or more services implementing ijabber.IService up to ServiceManager. The ServiceManager connects to the Jabber server and is responsible for the corresponding XML stream.
