Introducing a clean split between the constant connection configuration parameters, which are now all in ConnectionConfiguration and the dynamic connection state (e.g. hostAddresses) which are now in AbstractXMPPConnection. Also removed all arguments of login() since the username, password, resource and callback handler need now to be configured via ConnectionConfiguration. Also remove documentation/extensions/messageevents.md, as it's already in documentation/legacy

Smack: XMPPConnection Management

Creating a Connection
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
The `org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPConnection` class manages your connection to
|
|
an XMPP server. The default implementation is the
|
|
`org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPTCPConnection` class. Two constructors are mainly
|
|
used. The first, `XMPPTCPConnection(String)` takes the server name you'd like
|
|
to connect to as an argument. All default connection settings will be used:
|
|
|
|
* A DNS SRV lookup will be performed to find the exact address and port (typically 5222) that the server resides at.
|
|
* The maximum security possible will be negotiated with the server, including TLS encryption, but the connection will fall back to lower security settings if necessary.
|
|
* The XMPP resource name "Smack" will be used for the connection.
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the `XMPPTCPConnection(ConnectionConfiguration)`
|
|
constructor to specify advanced connection settings. Some of these settings
|
|
include:
|
|
|
|
* Manually specify the server address and port of the server rather than using a DNS SRV lookup.
|
|
* Enable connection compression.
|
|
* Customize security settings, such as flagging the connection to require TLS encryption in order to connect.
|
|
* Specify a custom connection resource name such as "Work" or "Home". Every connection by a user to a server must have a unique resource name. For the user "jsmith@example.com", the full address with resource might be "jsmith@example.com/Smack". With unique resource names, a user can be logged into the server from multiple locations at once, or using multiple devices. The presence priority value used with each resource will determine which particular connection receives messages to the bare address ("jsmith@example.com" in our example).
|

|
|
Connect and Disconnect
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
// Create the configuration for this new connection
|
|
XMPPTCPConnectionConfigurationBuilder configBuilder = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();
|
|
configBuilder.setUsernameAndPassword("username", "password");
|
|
configBuilder.setResource("SomeResource");
|
|
configBuilder.setServiceName("jabber.org");
|
|
|
|
AbstractXMPPConnection connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(configBuilder.build());
|
|
// Connect to the server
|
|
connection.connect();
|
|
// Log into the server
|
|
connection.login();
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
// Disconnect from the server
|
|
connection.disconnect();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default Smack will try to reconnect the connection in case it was abruptly
|
|
disconnected. Use _ConnectionConfiguration#setReconnectionAllowed(boolean) to
|
|
turn on/off this feature. The reconnection manager will try to immediately
|
|
reconnect to the server and increase the delay between attempts as successive
|
|
reconnections keep failing._
|
|
|
|
In case you want to force a reconnection while the reconnetion manager is
|
|
waiting for the next reconnection, you can just use _AbstractXMPPConnection#connect()_
|
|
and a new attempt will be made. If the manual attempt also failed then the
|
|
reconnection manager will still continue the reconnection job.
