VCardManager

public VCardManager()

Method Detail

getInstance

public static VCardManager getInstance()

getProvider

public static VCardProvider getProvider()

Returns the currently-installed VCardProvider. Warning: in virtually all cases the vcard provider should not be used directly. Instead, the appropriate methods in VCardManager should be called. Direct access to the vcard provider is only provided for special-case logic.

Returns:

the current VCardProvider.

getVCardProperty

public String getVCardProperty(String username,
                               String name)

Returns the user's vCard information for a given vcard property name. If the property has no defined text then an empty string will be returned. However, if the property does not exist then a null value will be answered. Advanced user systems can use vCard information to link to user directory information or store other relevant user information.

Note that many elements in the vCard may have the same path so the returned value in that case will be the first found element. For instance, "ADR:STREET" may be present in many addresses of the user. Use getVCard(String) to get the whole vCard of the user.

Parameters:

username - The username of the user to return his vCard property.

name - The name of the vcard property to retrieve encoded with ':' to denote the path.

Returns:

The vCard value found

setVCard

public void setVCard(String username,
                     org.dom4j.Element vCardElement)
              throws Exception

Sets the user's vCard information. The new vCard information will be persistent. Advanced user systems can use vCard information to link to user directory information or store other relevant user information.

Parameters:

username - The username of the user to set his new vCard.

vCardElement - The DOM element sent by the user as his new vcard.

Throws:

Exception - if an error occured while storing the new vCard.

deleteVCard

public void deleteVCard(String username)

Deletes the user's vCard from the user account.

Parameters:

username - The username of the user to delete his vCard.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - If the provider is read-only and the data cannot be deleted, this exception is thrown

getVCard

public org.dom4j.Element getVCard(String username)

Returns the vCard of a given user or null if none was defined before. Changes to the returned vCard will not be stored in the database. Use the returned vCard as a read-only vCard.

Parameters:

username - Username (not full JID) whose vCard to retrieve.

Returns:

the vCard of a given user.

initialize

public void initialize(XMPPServer server)

Description copied from class: BasicModule

Initializes the basic module.

Inheriting classes that choose to override this method MUST call this initialize() method before accessing BasicModule resources.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Module

Overrides:

initialize in class BasicModule

Parameters:

server - the server hosting this module.

start

public void start()

Description copied from class: BasicModule

Starts the basic module.

Inheriting classes that choose to override this method MUST call this start() method before accessing BasicModule resources.

Specified by:

start in interface Module

Overrides:

start in class BasicModule

stop

public void stop()

Description copied from class: BasicModule

Stops the basic module.

Inheriting classes that choose to override this method MUST call this stop() method before accessing BasicModule resources.

Specified by:

stop in interface Module

Overrides:

stop in class BasicModule

reset

public void reset()

Resets the manager state. The cache where loaded vCards are stored will be flushed.

getFeatures

public Iterator<String> getFeatures()

Description copied from interface: ServerFeaturesProvider

Returns an Iterator (of String) with the supported features by the server. The features to include are the features offered and supported protocols by the SERVER. The idea is that different modules may provide their features that will ultimately be part of the features offered by the server.

Specified by:

getFeatures in interface ServerFeaturesProvider

Returns:

an Iterator (of String) with the supported features by the server.
