ExtensionElement is now a marker interface that requires all
implementation non-abstract classes to carry a static final QNAME
field (of type QName). This is verified by a new unit test.
Also FullyQualifiedElement is renamed to simply XmlElement. XmlElement
is used over ExtensionElement when implementing classes do not
statically know the qualified name of the XML elements they
represent. In general, XmlElement should be used sparingly, and every
XML element should be modeled by its own Java class (implementing
ExtensionElement).
This also resulted in a refactoring of the Providers and parsing
Exceptions. NumberFormatException and ParseException can now be thrown
directly, the wrapping in a SmackParsingException is down at a higher
layer, i.e. in AbstractProvider.
Smack currently does unnecessary escaping of XML text, where it
escapes e.g. '"' to '"'. This bloats the stanza size, especially
if JSON payloads are involved.
Fixes SMACK-892 (although there are probably still places where
XmlStringBuilder.escape() is used when XmlStringBuild.text() could
have been used).
Apply builder pattern to form fields and replace getVariable() with
getFieldName(). Refer to the field name as "field name" instead of
"variable" everyone, just as XEP-0004 does.
Improve the high-level form API: introduce FilledForm and FillableForm
which perform stronger validation and consistency checks.
Also add FormFieldRegistry to enable processing of 'submit' forms
where the form field types are omitted.
Smack also now does omit the form field type declaration on 'submit'
type forms, as it is allowed by XEP-0004.
This also removes the powermock dependency. Although powermock is a
fine library, it currently prevents dropping Junit4. And since we only
use the Whitebox API of powermock, this simply replaced powermock's
Whitebox with our own.
Returning a generic would allow for
List<ExtensionElement> list = stanza.getExtension("foo", "bar");
to compile (Note the we are calling getExtension(), not
getExtension*s*()).
Users are encouraged to use the type safe getExtension(Class<? extends
ExtensionElement) variant instead.
Fixes SMACK-825.
By not directly depending on Bouncycastle (BC), we avoid conflicts between
different bouncycastle versions. It is also part of the developers job
to take care that all required security primitives are available. If
they are provide by BC or some other security provider should not be
up to Smack to decide.
We now only add BC as test dependency to satisfy this requirement when
the unit tests are executed.
Besides the way the transport handles the stream after SASL
<success/>, the SASL logic is independend from the underlying
transport (BOSH, TCP, …). Hence move it up into
AbstractXMPPConnection.
This also has the benefit that we can make some more methods private
or package-private.
Also introduce XmlStringBuilder.optTextChild(), which causes some
associated changes.
and not NullPointerException. Altough this differs from
java.util.Objects behavior, throwing an IllegalArgumentException
appears more sensible and makes it easier to catch it in Smack's
parsing function.
Introducing Smack's own XmlPullParser interface which tries to stay as
compatible as possible to XPP3. The interface is used to either wrap
StAX's XMLStreamReader if Smack is used on Java SE, and XPP3's
XmlPullParser if Smack is used on on Android.
Fixes SMACK-591.
Also introduce JUnit 5 and non-strict javadoc projects.
