This section details the usage of an API designed for accessing an XMPP based
|
|
implementation of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish/subscribe">publish and subscribe</a>
|
|
based messaging system. It has functionality for creation, configuration of,
|
|
subscription and publishing to pubsub nodes.<p>

<div class="subheader"><a name="create">Node creation and configuration</a></div><p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Description</b><p>
|
|
Allowed users may create and configure pubsub nodes. There are two types of nodes that can be created,
|
|
leaf nodes and collection nodes.
|
|
<li>Leaf Nodes - contains only messages</li>
|
|
<li>Collection Nodes - contains only nodes (both Leaf and Collection are allowed), but no messages</li>
|
|
|
|
The current version of this API only supports Leaf Nodes.
|
|
|
|
There are many configuration options available for nodes, but the two main options are whether the node
|
|
is <b>persistent</b> or not and whether it will deliver payload or not.</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Usage</b><p>
|
|
|
|
In order to create a node you will need to first create an instance of <i><b>PubSubManager</b></i>. There
|
|
are several options for node creation which range from creating an instant node, default configuration, or
|
|
a fully configured node.</p><p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Examples</b><p>
|
|
|
|
Create an instant node: <br>
|
|
<blockquote>

|
<pre>

LeafNode leaf = mgr.createNode();

Create a node with default configuration and then configure it: <br>

<div class="subheader"><a name="publish">Publishing to a node</a></div><p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Description</b><p>
|
|
This section deals with the <b>publish</b> portion of pubsub.
|
|
|
|
Usage of a node typically involves either sending or receiving data, referred to as items.
|
|
Depending on the context of the nodes usage, the item being sent to it can have different
|
|
properties.
|
|
|
|
It can contain application data known as payload, or the publisher may choose to supply
|
|
meaningful unique id's. Determination of an items acceptable properties is defined by a
|
|
combination of node configuration and its purpose.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Usage</b><p>
|
|
To publish to a node, you will have to either create or retrieve an existing node and then
|
|
create and send items to that node. The ability for any given person to publish to the node
|
|
will be dependent on its configuration.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Examples</b><p>
|
|
In this example we publish an item to a node that does not take payload: <br>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Create a pubsub manager using an existing XMPPConnection</font>
|
|
PubSubManager mgr = new PubSubManager(con);
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Get the node</font>
|
|
LeafNode node = mgr.getNode(<font color="#0000FF">"testNode"</font>);
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Publish an Item, let service set the id</font>
|
|
node.send(new Item());
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Publish an Item with the specified id</font>
|
|
node.send(new Item(<font color="#0000FF">"123abc"</font>));
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|

|
|
<blockquote>

|
|

|
|
node.send(new PayloadItem<SimplePayload>(<font color="#0000FF">"test"</font> + System.currentTimeMillis(),
|

new SimplePayload(<font color="#0000FF">"book"</font>, <font color="#0000FF">"pubsub:test:book"</font>, <font color="#0000FF">"<book xmlns='pubsub:test:book'><title>Two Towers</title></book>"</font>)));

<div class="subheader"><a name="subscribe">Receiving pubsub messages</a></div><p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Description</b><p>
|
|
This section deals with the <b>subscribe</b> portion of pubsub.
|
|
|
|
As mentioned in the last section, usage of a node typically involves either sending or receiving
|
|
items. Subscribers are interested in being notified when items are published to the pubsub
|
|
node. These items may or may not have application specific data (payload), as that
|
|
is dependent on the context in which the node is being used.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Usage</b><p>
|
|
To get messages asynchronously when items are published to a node, you will have to
|
|
<li>Get a node.</li>
|
|
<li>Create and register a listener.</li>
|
|
<li>Subscribe to the node.</li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please note that you should register the listener before subscribing so that all messages
|
|
sent after subscribing are received. If done in the reverse order, messages that are sent
|
|
after subscribing but before registering a listener may not be processed as expected.
|
|
</p></p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Examples</b><p>
|
|
|
|
In this example we can see how to create a listener and register it and then subscribe for
|
|
messages. <br>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Create a pubsub manager using an existing XMPPConnection</font>
|
|
PubSubManager mgr = new PubSubManager(con);
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Get the node</font>
|
|
LeafNode node = mgr.getNode(<font color="#0000FF">"testNode"</font>);
|
|
|
|
node.addItemEventListener(new ItemEventCoordinator<Item>());
|
|
node.subscribe(myJid);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
Where the listener is defined like so:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
class ItemEventCoordinator <T extends Item> implements ItemEventListener<T>
|
|
{
|
|
@Override
|
|
public void handlePublishedItems(ItemPublishEvent<T> items)
|
|
{
|
|
System.out.println(<font color="#0000FF">"Item count: "</font> + items.getItems().size());
|
|
System.out.println(items);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
In addition to receiving published items, there are notifications for several other
|
|
events that occur on a node as well.
|
|
<li>Deleting items or purging all items from a node</li>
|
|
<li>Changing the node configuration</li>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In this example we can see how to create a listener, register it and then subscribe for
|
|
item deletion messages. <br>
|
|
<blockquote>

|
<pre>
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Create a pubsub manager using an existing XMPPConnection</font>

node.subscribe(myJid);
|
|
node.deleteItem(<font color="#0000FF">"id_one"</font>);
|

|

{

|
|
{

System.out.println(<font color="#0000FF">"Item count: "</font> + items.getItemIds().size());

<div class="subheader"><a name="retrieve">Retrieving persisted pubsub messages</a></div><p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Description</b><p>
|
|
|
|
When persistent nodes are used, the subscription and registration methods described in the last section
|
|
will not enable the retrieval of items that already exist in the node. This section deals with the
|
|
specific methods for retrieving these items.
|
|
|
|
There are several means of retrieving existing items. You can retrieve all items at once, the last N
|
|
items, or the items specified by a collection of id's.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the service may, according to the pubsub specification, reply with a list of items
|
|
that contains only the item id's (no payload) to save on bandwidth. This will not occur when the id's
|
|
are specified since this is the means of guaranteeing retrieval of payload.</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Usage</b><p>
|
|
|
|
To synchronously retrieve existing items from a persistent node, you will have to get an instance
|
|
of a <i><b>LeafNode</b></i> and call one of the retrieve methods.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Examples</b><p>
|
|
