Constructor Detail

ServiceDiscoveryManager

public ServiceDiscoveryManager(XMPPConnection connection)

Creates a new ServiceDiscoveryManager for a given XMPPConnection. This means that the service manager will respond to any service discovery request that the connection may receive.

Parameters:

connection - the connection to which a ServiceDiscoveryManager is going to be created.

Method Detail

getInstanceFor

public static ServiceDiscoveryManager getInstanceFor(XMPPConnection connection)

Returns the ServiceDiscoveryManager instance associated with a given XMPPConnection.

Parameters:

connection - the connection used to look for the proper ServiceDiscoveryManager.

Returns:

the ServiceDiscoveryManager associated with a given XMPPConnection.

getIdentityName

public static String getIdentityName()

Returns the name of the client that will be returned when asked for the client identity in a disco request. The name could be any value you need to identity this client.

Returns:

the name of the client that will be returned when asked for the client identity in a disco request.

setIdentityName

public static void setIdentityName(String name)

Sets the name of the client that will be returned when asked for the client identity in a disco request. The name could be any value you need to identity this client.

Parameters:

name - the name of the client that will be returned when asked for the client identity in a disco request.

getIdentityType

public static String getIdentityType()

Returns the type of client that will be returned when asked for the client identity in a disco request. The valid types are defined by the category client. Follow this link to learn the possible types: Jabber::Registrar.

Returns:

the type of client that will be returned when asked for the client identity in a disco request.

setIdentityType

public static void setIdentityType(String type)

Sets the type of client that will be returned when asked for the client identity in a disco request. The valid types are defined by the category client. Follow this link to learn the possible types: Jabber::Registrar.

Parameters:

type - the type of client that will be returned when asked for the client identity in a disco request.

setNodeInformationProvider

public void setNodeInformationProvider(String node,
                                       NodeInformationProvider listener)

Sets the NodeInformationProvider responsible for providing information (ie items) related to a given node. Every time this client receives a disco request regarding the items of a given node, the provider associated to that node will be the responsible for providing the requested information.

In MUC, a node could be 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#rooms' which means that the NodeInformationProvider will provide information about the rooms where the user has joined.

Parameters:

node - the node whose items will be provided by the NodeInformationProvider.

listener - the NodeInformationProvider responsible for providing items related to the node.

removeNodeInformationProvider

public void removeNodeInformationProvider(String node)

Removes the NodeInformationProvider responsible for providing information (ie items) related to a given node. This means that no more information will be available for the specified node. In MUC, a node could be 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#rooms' which means that the NodeInformationProvider will provide information about the rooms where the user has joined.

Parameters:

node - the node to remove the associated NodeInformationProvider.

getFeatures

public Iterator getFeatures()

Returns the supported features by this XMPP entity.

Returns:

an Iterator on the supported features by this XMPP entity.

addFeature

public void addFeature(String feature)

Registers that a new feature is supported by this XMPP entity. When this client is queried for its information the registered features will be answered.

Parameters:

feature - the feature to register as supported.

removeFeature

public void removeFeature(String feature)

Removes the specified feature from the supported features by this XMPP entity.

Parameters:

feature - the feature to remove from the supported features.

includesFeature

public boolean includesFeature(String feature)

Returns true if the specified feature is registered in the ServiceDiscoveryManager.

Parameters:

feature - the feature to look for.

Returns:

a boolean indicating if the specified featured is registered or not.

canPublishItems

public boolean canPublishItems(String entityID)
                        throws XMPPException

Returns true if the server supports publishing of items. A client may wish to publish items to the server so that the server can provide items associated to the client.

entityID - the address of the XMPP entity.

Returns:

true if the server supports publishing of items.

discoverItems - the DiscoveryItems to publish.

Throws:

XMPPException - if the operation failed for some reason.
