Interface MUCUser

All Superinterfaces:

ChannelHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

LocalMUCUser, RemoteMUCUser

public interface MUCUser
extends ChannelHandler

The chat user is a separate user abstraction for interacting with the chat server. Centralizing chat users to the Jabber entity that sends and receives the chat messages allows us to create quality of service, authorization, and resource decisions on a real-user basis.

Most chat users in a typical s2s scenario will not be local users.

MUCUsers play one or more roles in one or more chat rooms on the server.
