Class ExternalComponent

java.lang.Object

org.jivesoftware.whack.ExternalComponent

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.xmpp.component.Component

public class ExternalComponent
extends Object
implements org.xmpp.component.Component

ExternalComponents are responsible for connecting and authenticating with a remote server and for sending and processing received packets. In fact, an ExternalComponent is a wrapper on a Component that provides remote connection capabilities. The actual processing of the packets is done by the wrapped Component.

Method Detail

connect

@Deprecated
public void connect(String host,
                      int port,
                      String subdomain)
             throws org.xmpp.component.ComponentException

Deprecated.

Generates a connection with the server and tries to authenticate. If an error occurs in any of the steps then a ComponentException is thrown.

Parameters:

host - the host to connect with.

port - the port to use.

subdomain - the subdomain that this component will be handling.

Throws:

org.xmpp.component.ComponentException - if an error happens during the connection and authentication steps.

connect

public void connect(String host,
           int port,
           String subdomain,
           boolean startEncrypted)
             throws org.xmpp.component.ComponentException

Generates a connection with the server and tries to authenticate. If an error occurs in any of the steps then a ComponentException is thrown.

Parameters:

host - the host to connect with.

port - the port to use.

subdomain - the subdomain that this component will be handling.

startEncrypted - true if sockets are started in TLS/SSL mode, otherwise false.

Throws:

org.xmpp.component.ComponentException - if an error happens during the connection and authentication steps.

getComponent

public org.xmpp.component.Component getComponent()

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface org.xmpp.component.Component

getDescription

getDescription in interface org.xmpp.component.Component

getDomain

public String getDomain()

Returns the domain provided by this component in the connected server. The domain is composed by the subdomain plus the domain of the server. E.g. conference.jivesoftware.com. The domain may change after a connection has been established with the server.

Returns:

the domain provided by this component in the connected server.
