title: SOAP/REST calls over XMPP
body: <p>I want to make a solution where I can use XMPP chat clients connected to gtalk, resolving SOAP web services and REST calls meant for a LAN (behind firewall proxy etc) and transferring over to the other chat client on another different LAN (behind other firewall proxy etc).</p>
  
  <p>I have narrowed down on <a href="http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/smack/index.jsp" rel="nofollow">Smack API</a>, but being a newbie in XMPP and smack, I don't know if is it possible or not with Smack?</p>
  
  <p>Does smack provide for such a functionality? I tried Smack documentation but couldn't understand it in enough depth.</p>
  
  <p>Any other possible alternatives, suggestions too are most welcome.</p>
