Class MessageRouter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Module

    public class MessageRouter
    extends BasicModule

    Route message packets throughout the server.

    Routing is based on the recipient and sender addresses. The typical packet will often be routed twice, once from the sender to some internal server component for handling or processing, and then back to the router to be delivered to it's final destination.

      • route

        public void route​(org.xmpp.packet.Message packet)

        Performs the actual packet routing.

        You routing is considered 'quick' and implementations may not take excessive amounts of time to complete the routing. If routing will take a long amount of time, the actual routing should be done in another thread so this method returns quickly.

        Parameters:
