Make Feedback Tool receive new xml

[GoogleCodeExporter]

An XMPP message is sent to the MMFT server (an example included below).  THe 
server must should parse the message, and save the specific XML included in the 
description tag (as a string) in a map with the user's name.

Then, the client should have a new method (much like the "refresh" method of 
the monitoring tool, that when called, checks the user requesting the XML and 
sends the appropriate XML.

The client will need a button to request the update, and then should receive 
the xml and update the feedback options with the new xml received.

This idea of the client having a button to press is a temporary fix, due to the 
fact that right now, there is no push technology in this tool, only pull. So, 
there is no way for a server to send a message to the clients. Instead, it must 
wait for a request.

We can talk through work-arounds, like perhaps adding push technology, but for 
now, it would be good to get things working as they are.

The buttons will be in the "XML" tab, ('repopulate', 'send', 'update').

Example XML, you can see the xml string for the tool is wrapped in the CDATA 
for the description:

I wanted to start with sending an xml message directly to the monitoring tool 
through an xmpp channel. Do the processing and then add processing on the 
server side. As far as I remember, the monitoring tool should listen to 
analysis chat room, not the command_room. I tried to find a piece of code in 
which incoming messages are processed.
Here is what I have found so far:
CfXmppCommunicationBridge.processNewMessage() - is supposed to delegate an 
incoming message to an appropriate agent. But the only agent that is found is 
HistoryRequester that does not process this kind of messages.
Could you forward me some samples on how to process, or where to include my 
processing?

Currently the situation is like this:
Monitoring tool can send xml messages like in comment #3 and stores it in the 
map (user, messagesXML).

How to implement the client receiving this messages? He clicks 'Refresh' 
button, how do stored messages arrive to him?
