Class NodeSubscription

java.lang.Object
  org.jivesoftware.wildfire.pubsub.NodeSubscription

public class NodeSubscription
extends Object

A subscription to a node. Entities may subscribe to a node to be notified when new events are published to the node. Published events may contain a PublishedItem. Only nodes that are configured to not deliver payloads with event notifications and to not persist items will let publishers to publish events without items thus not including items in the notifications sent to subscribers.

Node subscriptions may need to be configured by the subscriber or approved by a node owner to become active. The node configuration establishes whether configuration or approval are required. In any case, the subscriber will not get event notifications until the subscription is active.

Depending on the node configuration it may be possible for the same subscriber to subscribe multiple times to the node. Each subscription may have a different configuration like for instance different keywords. Keywords can be used as a way to filter the type of PublishedItem to be notified of. When the same subscriber has subscribed multiple times to the node a single notification is going to be sent to the subscriber instead of sending a notification for each subscription.

Method Detail

getNode

public Node getNode()

Returns the node that holds this subscription.

Returns:

the node that holds this subscription.

getID

public String getID()

Returns the ID that uniquely identifies the subscription of the user in the node.

Returns:

the ID that uniquely identifies the subscription of the user in the node.

getJID

public JID getJID()

Returns the JID that is going to receive the event notifications. This JID can be the owner JID or a full JID if the owner wants to receive the notification at a particular resource.

Moreover, since subscriber and owner are separated it should be theorically possible to have a different owner JID (e.g. gato@server1.com) and a subscriber JID (e.g. gato@server2.com). Note that letting this case to happen may open the pubsub service to get spam or security problems. However, the pubsub service should avoid this case to happen.

Returns:

the JID that is going to receive the event notifications.

getOwner

public JID getOwner()

Retuns the JID of the entity that owns this subscription. The owner entity will have a NodeAffiliate for the owner JID. The owner may have more than one subscription with the node based on what this message Node.isMultipleSubscriptionsEnabled().

Returns:

he JID of the entity that owns this subscription.

getState

public NodeSubscription.State getState()

Returns the current subscription state. Subscriptions with status of pending should be authorized by a node owner.

Returns:

the current subscription state.

isConfigurationPending

public boolean isConfigurationPending()

Returns true if configuration is required by the node and is still pending to be configured by the subscriber. Otherwise return false. Once a subscription is configured it might need to be approved by a node owner to become active.

Returns:

true if configuration is required by the node and is still pending to be configured by the subscriber.

isAuthorizationPending

public boolean isAuthorizationPending()

Returns true if the subscription needs to be approved by a node owner to become active. Until the subscription is not activated the subscriber will not receive event notifications.

Returns:

true if the subscription needs to be approved by a node owner to become active.

shouldDeliverNotifications

public boolean shouldDeliverNotifications()

Returns whether an entity wants to receive or has disabled notifications.

Returns:

true when notifications should be sent to the subscriber.

isUsingDigest

public boolean isUsingDigest()

Returns whether an entity wants to receive digests (aggregations) of notifications or all notifications individually.

Returns:

true when an entity wants to receive digests (aggregations) of notifications.

getDigestFrequency

public int getDigestFrequency()

Returns the minimum number of milliseconds between sending any two notification digests. Default is 24 hours.

Returns:

the minimum number of milliseconds between sending any two notification digests.

getExpire

public Date getExpire()

Returns the Date at which a leased subscription will end or has ended. A value of null means that the subscription will never expire.

Returns:

the Date at which a leased subscription will end or has ended. A value of null means that the subscription will never expire.

isIncludingBody

public boolean isIncludingBody()

Returns whether an entity wants to receive an XMPP message body in addition to the payload format.

Returns:

true when an entity wants to receive an XMPP message body in addition to the payload format

getPresenceStates

public Collection<String> getPresenceStates()

The presence states for which an entity wants to receive notifications. When the owner is in any of the returned presence states then he is allowed to receive notifications.

Returns:

the presence states for which an entity wants to receive notifications. (e.g. available, away, etc.)

getType

public NodeSubscription.Type getType()

Returns if the owner has subscribed to receive notification of new items only or of new nodes only. When subscribed to a Leaf Node then only items is available.

Returns:

whether the owner has subscribed to receive notification of new items only or of new nodes only.

getDepth

configure

public void configure(IQ originalIQ,

Configures the subscription based on the sent DataForm included in the IQ packet sent by the subscriber. If the subscription was pending of configuration then the last published item is going to be sent to the subscriber.

The originalIQ parameter may be null when using this API internally. When no IQ packet was sent then no IQ result will be sent to the sender. The rest of the functionality is the same.

Parameters:

originalIQ - the IQ packet sent by the subscriber to configure his subscription or null when using this API internally.

options - the data form containing the new subscription configuration.

getConfigurationForm

public DataForm getConfigurationForm()

Returns a data form with the subscription configuration. The data form can be used to edit the subscription configuration.

Returns:

data form used by the subscriber to edit the subscription configuration.

isActive
