All Implemented Interfaces:

Element, ExtensionElement, NamedElement

public class RosterExchange
extends Object
implements ExtensionElement

Represents XMPP Roster Item Exchange packets.

The 'jabber:x:roster' namespace (which is not to be confused with the 'jabber:iq:roster' namespace) is used to send roster items from one client to another. A roster item is sent by adding to the <message/> element an <x/> child scoped by the 'jabber:x:roster' namespace. This <x/> element may contain one or more <item/> children (one for each roster item to be sent).

Each <item/> element may possess the following attributes:

<jid/> -- The id of the contact being sent. This attribute is required.
<name/> -- A natural-language nickname for the contact. This attribute is optional.

Each <item/> element may also contain one or more <group/> children specifying the natural-language name of a user-specified group, for the purpose of categorizing this contact into one or more roster groups.
