Processing Incoming Stanzas
Smack provides a flexible framework for processing incoming packets using two constructs:
org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketCollector
-- a class that lets you synchronously wait for new packets.org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketListener
-- an interface for asynchronously notifying you of incoming packets. A packet listener is used for event style programming, while a packet collector has a result queue of packets that you can do polling and blocking operations on. So, a packet listener is useful when you want to take some action whenever a packet happens to come in, while a packet collector is useful when you want to wait for a specific packet to arrive. Packet collectors and listeners can be created using anXMPPConnection
instance.
The org.jivesoftware.smack.filter.StanzaFilter
interface determines which
specific packets will be delivered to a PacketCollector
or PacketListener
.
Many pre-defined filters can be found in the org.jivesoftware.smack.filter
package.
The following code snippet demonstrates registering both a packet collector and a packet listener:
// Create a packet filter to listen for new messages from a particular
// user. We use an AndFilter to combine two other filters._
StanzaFilter filter = new AndFilter(new StanzaTypeFilter(Message.class),
new FromContainsFilter("mary@jivesoftware.com"));
// Assume we've created an XMPPConnection name "connection".
// First, register a packet collector using the filter we created.
PacketCollector myCollector = connection.createPacketCollector(filter);
// Normally, you'd do something with the collector, like wait for new packets.
// Next, create a packet listener. We use an anonymous inner class for brevity.
StanzaListener myListener = new StanzaListener() {
**public** **void** processStanza(Stanza stanza) {
// Do something with the incoming stanza here._
}
};
// Register the listener._
connection.addStanzaListener(myListener, filter);
Standard Stanza Filters
A rich set of packet filters are included with Smack, or you can create your
own filters by coding to the StanzaFilter
interface. The default set of
filters includes:
StanzaTypeFilter
-- filters for packets that are a particular Class type.StanzaIdFilter
-- filters for packets with a particular packet ID.ThreadFilter
-- filters for message packets with a particular thread ID.ToContainsFilter
-- filters for packets that are sent to a particular address.FromContainsFilter
-- filters for packets that are sent to a particular address.StanzaExtensionFilter
-- filters for packets that have a particular packet extension.AndFilter
-- implements the logical AND operation over two filters.OrFilter
-- implements the logical OR operation over two filters.NotFilter
-- implements the logical NOT operation on a filter.
