I tried add abc.domain.net (component) as roaster inside spark. try send message, but inside whack processPacket(), it didn't trigger anything when i do debugging

You don't even need to add the user abc.domain.net, you can just send messages, iq or presence to abc.domain.net.

I'm not sure about whack, but components are basically "super-client", who don't implement any of the rules that regular clients have : you can rewrite from fields, they don't have presence or rosters built in.

So any stanza you send to a component should be received by it. You can them implement the component so it responds to specific stanzas and acts upon them the way you want.
