ServerIdentitiesProvider (Core XMPP Server 4.8.2 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

IQPEPHandler
```
public interface ServerIdentitiesProvider
```
A ServerIdentitiesProvider is responsible for providing the identities of protocols supported by the SERVER. An example of a server identity is that for PEP (XEP-0163): <identity category="pubsub" type="pep" />

When the server starts up, IQDiscoInfoHandler will request to all the services that implement the ServerIdentitiesProvider interface for their identities. Whenever a disco request is received IQDiscoInfoHandler will add to the provided information all the collected identities. Therefore, a service must implement this interface in order to offer/publish its identities as part of the server identities.
