>             Project: Apache Camel
>          Issue Type: Bug

>    Affects Versions: 1.6.1

> I am currently porting an application using an in house Smack integration to Apache Camel.
> Specifically, I am getting failures with multiuser chat where messages stop being received in the middle of the message stream I am sending.
> I have yet to verify the issue exists with private chat as well, but the XMPPConsumer source looks like there will be a similar issue.
> The XMPPConsumer class registers itself for all packet types in the doStart method, but in the processPacket method immediately casts the received Packet to Message.
> I have found with the in house integration that Smack sends several types of Packets, and I could not find assurance that it would not call the packet listener with a null message.
> A simple if((null != packet) && (packet instanceof Message))  should be used to prevent improper packets from being utilized.
> FYI: the above if statement should also prevent packets from building up in the Smack message queue, since all messages will be processed without throwing an exception.
> So a call to muc.nextMessage() is unnecessary, and actually detrimental (since if the next packet is a message, it will be dropped without processing).
> It may be wise to actually use a try/catch block to prevent exceptions from being thrown by the processPacket method, since messages that throw exceptions seem to stay in the Smack message queue.
