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.
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.
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.
And replace all instances where String.Builder.append() is called with a
String of length one with append(char).
Also adds StringUtils.toStringBuilder(Collection, String).
instead of throwing XmlPullParserException, IOException and
SmackException.
Add a guard to AbstractXMPPConnection.processPacket() to always re-throw
RuntimeExceptions.
This is actually only part one, i.e. with this commit if the user adds a
PacketExtension to an IQ it will be included in IQ.toXml(). Which was
previously only the case if the IQ subclass explicitly included packet
extensions.
The second part of the change is to change the IQ provider, so that
packet extensions are automatically parsed.
Cases where PacketExtensions are used for Message and IQ are slightly
changed. The IQ sublcass now only has a field with this
PacketExtension (see for example
bytestreams.ibb.packet.DataPacketExtension).
Also changed hoxt API: Removed unnecessary indirection and made the
API more Smack idiomatic.
this is the first stop towards fixing "SMACK-65: parsing should look for
depth", by providing the initial parsing depth to the provider. Some
methods (.e.g parseMessage) now use the depth as abort condition,
instead of a unclean String equals check.
parseIQ() and parseExtension() where both renamed to parse.
This also restricts the Exceptions thrown by the parse method, to just
XmlPullParserException, IOException and SmackException (not really a big
victory, but nevertheless a slight improvement).
StreamFeatureProvider is now gone, we simply use PacketExtensionProvider
for stream features.
It's a common pattern to look for all services hosted under the users
service that provide a given feature. Let's provide an API for that and
use that API in the methods that benefit from it.
instead of using the old baseName=smack appendix=project.name approach,
we are now going convention over configuration and renaming the
subprojects directories to the proper name.
Having a prefix is actually very helpful, because the resulting
libraries will be named like the subproject. And a core-4.0.0-rc1.jar is
not as explicit about what it actually *is* as a
smack-core-4.0.0-rc1.jar.
