DiscoItemsProvider (Core XMPP Server 4.4.1 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AdHocCommandHandler, FileTransferProxy, IQOfflineMessagesHandler, MediaProxyService, MultiUserChatServiceImpl, PubSubModule
```
public interface DiscoItemsProvider
```
A DiscoItemsProvider is responsible for providing the items associated with a JID's name and node. For example, the room service could implement this interface in order to provide the existing rooms as its items. In this case, the JID's name and node won't be used.
The items to provide must have a JID attribute specifying the JID of the item and may possess a name attribute specifying a natural-language name for the item. The node attribute is optional and must be used only for items that aren't addressable as a JID.
