Inviting Other Users
To use the GroupChatInvitation packet extension to invite another user to a group chat room, address a new message to the user and set the room name appropriately, as in the following code example:
Message message = new Message("user@chat.example.com", "Join me for a group chat!");
message.addExtension(new GroupChatInvitation("room@chat.example.com"));
con.sendStanza(message);
The XML generated for the invitation portion of the code above would be:
<x xmlns="jabber:x:conference" jid="room@chat.example.com"/>
Listening for Invitations
To listen for group chat invitations, use a StanzaExtensionFilter for the x
element name and jabber:x:conference namespace, as in the following code
example:
StanzaFilter filter = new StanzaExtensionFilter("x", "jabber:x:conference");
// Create a packet collector or packet listeners using the filter...
