Class User

java.lang.Object
  org.jivesoftware.openfire.user.User

All Implemented Interfaces:

Externalizable, Serializable, Result, Cacheable

public class User
extends Object
implements Cacheable, Externalizable, Result

Encapsulates information about a user. New users are created using UserManager.createUser(String, String, String, String). All user properties are loaded on demand and are read from the jiveUserProp database table. The currently-installed UserProvider is used for setting all other user data and some operations may not be supported depending on the capabilities of the UserProvider.

Constructor Detail

User

public User()

Constructor added for Externalizable. Do not use this constructor.

User

public User(String username,
            String name,
            String email,
            Date creationDate,
            Date modificationDate)

Constructs a new user. Normally, all arguments can be null except the username. However, a UserProvider -may- require a name or email address. In those cases, the isNameRequired or isEmailRequired UserProvider tests indicate whether null is allowed. Typically, User objects should not be constructed by end-users of the API. Instead, user objects should be retrieved using UserManager.getUser(String).

Parameters:

username - the username.

name - the name.

email - the email address.

creationDate - the date the user was created.

modificationDate - the date the user was last modified.

getUID

public String getUID()

Description copied from interface: Result

Returns a unique identifier for this Result. Each element in a ResultSet must have a distinct UIDs.

Each UID MAY be based on part of the content of its associated item (...) or on an internal table index. Another possible method is to serialize the XML of the item and then hash it to generate the UID. Note: The requesting entity MUST treat all UIDs as opaque.

Specified by:

getUID in interface Result

Returns:

Unique ID of the Result
