Can I add a user to Vysper without having to restart the server ?

["Sanii.Cyrus" <Cy...@cic.gc.ca>]

We setup v0.7 and have added some users.
The users can IM to each other.
However if we now want to add more users it seems we need to restart the server process to get it to reread the config file.
Are we adding users incorrectly?
We are just editing the spring-config.xml file.
We are running on a Windows platform.

By default, users are loaded from the spring configuration and only
held in-memory.

If you change
    <!-- choose one of the storage registries -->
    <alias name="inmemoryStorageRegistry" alias="storageRegistry" />
to
    <alias name="jcrStorageRegistry" alias="storageRegistry" />
you get persistence with JCR/Jackrabbit.

You could use XMPP's Administration interface to add/manage users.

Vysper doesn't come with a full fledged user management included, but
you can easily connect to your own by implementing
  org.apache.vysper.xmpp.authentication.AccountManagement
