There is a unsolveable race condition between the connection state and
sendPacket(), i.e. the connection could go down, right after the
method calling sendPacket is called, but before sendPacket() is
invoked. Before this change, sendPacket() has thrown an unchecked
IllegalStateException, which could be ignored by the Smack user, who
would also not notice the race condition. We have decided to throw a
checked Exception in this case now, to make the Smack user aware of
this situation.
SMACK-426
SmackException (and it's subclasses) is for all errors/exceptions not
defined by any XMPP specification. XMPPException is now an abstract
class for all errors defined by the XMPP specifications.
Methods that involve an IQ exchange now either return the result, which
is obtained by IQ response, or they throw an XMPPErrorException if an IQ
error was the result of the IQ set/get. If there was no response from
the server within the default packet timeout, a NoResponseException will
be thrown.
XMPP SASL errors are now also reported accordingly.
SMACK-426
In the absence of checks on the from address, it is possible for other
clients to fake an answer to an IQ request.
This commit adds an IQReplyFilter, which drops all packets which are not
a valid reply to an IQ request. In particular, it checks for packet id,
from address and packet type.
Most(?) places waiting for a reply to an IQ request are converted to use
the IQReplyFilter.
For a discussion of the issues, see the thread "Spoofing of iq ids and
misbehaving servers" from 2014-01 on the jdev@jabber.org mailing list
and following discussion in February and March.
Smack contains two PacketFilters to filter on the from address.
FromContainsFilter simply does a substring match, which is problematic
as explained in SMACK-71. FromMatchesFilter partially fixes this
weakness, but it still uses String#startsWith to filter on bare
addresses. For example, when setup to match all JIDs with bare JID
"foo@example.co", it will still match "foo@example.com".
This commit changes FromMatchesFilter to test equality with the bare
from instead of startsWith with the full from.
Moreover, we convert all uses of FromContainsFilter to FromMatchesFilter
and remove FromContainsFilter. Additionally, the unused ToContainsFilter
(which as the same weaknesses) is removed, too.
This makes Smack more portable, as there are platforms that support the
XmlPullParser interface, but not MXParser (e.g. Android).
Also enable checkstyle check that MXParser is not used.
Instead of repeating the same pattern, when sending an IQ get/set packet
and collecting the response
PacketFilter filter = new PacketIDFilter(request.getPacketID()),
PacketCollector collector = connection.createPacketCollector(filter);
connection.sendPacket(reg);
IQ result = (IQ)collector.nextResult(SmackConfiguration.getPacketReplyTimeout());
// Stop queuing results
collector.cancel();
if (result == null) {
throw new XMPPException("No response from server.");
}
else if (result.getType() == IQ.Type.ERROR) {
throw new XMPPException(result.getError());
}
the API got redesigned, so that the above code block can be replaced
with
Packet result = connection.createPacketCollectorAndSend(request).nextResultOrThrow();
Change all \r\n into unix style newlines. Add missing newlines at the
end of a file and activate the newline checkstyle module, that enforces
'\n' as newline and a newline at the end of every file.
