Net::Jabber::Query - Jabber Query Library
Net::Jabber::Query is a companion to the Net::Jabber::IQ module. It provides the user a simple interface to set and retrieve all parts of a Jabber IQ Query.
Net::Jabber::Query differs from the other modules in that its behavior and available functions are based off of the XML namespace that is set in it. The current supported namespaces are: jabber:iq:agent jabber:iq:agents jabber:iq:auth jabber:iq:autoupdate jabber:iq:browse jabber:iq:conference jabber:iq:filter jabber:iq:gateway jabber:iq:last jabber:iq:oob jabber:iq:pass jabber:iq:register jabber:iq:roster jabber:iq:rpc jabber:iq:search jabber:iq:time jabber:iq:version http://jabber.org/protocol/bytestreams http://jabber.org/protocol/commands http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#admin http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#event http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#owner http://jabber.org/protocol/si http://jabber.org/protocol/si/profile/file-transfer http://www.jabber.org/protocol/soap # Experimental For more information on what these namespaces are for, visit http://www.jabber.org and browse the Jabber Programmers Guide. Each of these namespaces provide Net::Jabber::Query with the functions to access the data. By using the AUTOLOAD function the functions for each namespace is used when that namespace is active. To access a Query object you must create an IQ object and use the access functions there to get to the Query. To initialize the IQ with a Jabber <iq/> you must pass it the XML::Stream hash from the Net::Jabber::Client module. my $iq = new Net::Jabber::IQ(%hash); There has been a change from the old way of handling the callbacks. You no longer have to do the above yourself, a Net::Jabber::IQ object is passed to the callback function for the message. Also, the first argument to the callback functions is the session ID from XML::Streams. There are some cases where you might want this information, like if you created a Client that connects to two servers at once, or for writing a mini server. use Net::Jabber qw(Client); sub iqCB { my ($sid,$IQ) = @_; my $query = $IQ->GetQuery(); . . . } You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available for that namespace. To create a new iq to send to the server: use Net::Jabber; my $iq = new Net::Jabber::IQ(); $query = $iq->NewQuery("jabber:iq:register"); Now you can call the creation functions for the Query as defined in the proper namespaces. See below for the general <query/> functions, and in each query module for those functions. For more information about the array format being passed to the CallBack please read the Net::Jabber::Client documentation.
GetXMLNS() - returns a string with the namespace of the query that the <iq/> contains. $xmlns = $IQ->GetXMLNS(); GetQuery() - since the behavior of this module depends on the namespace, a Query object may contain Query objects. This helps to leverage code reuse by making children behave in the same manner. More than likely this function will never be called. @query = GetQuery()
SetXMLNS(string) - sets the xmlns of the <query/> to the string. $query->SetXMLNS("jabber:iq:roster");
In an effort to make maintaining this document easier, I am not going to go into full detail on each of these functions. Rather I will present the functions in a list with a type in the first column to show what they return, or take as arugments. Here is the list of types I will use:
string - just a string array - array of strings flag - this means that the specified child exists in the XML <child/> and acts like a flag. get will return 0 or 1. JID - either a string or Net::Jabber::JID object. objects - creates new objects, or returns an array of objects. special - this is a special case kind of function. Usually just by calling Set() with no arguments it will default the value to a special value, like OS or time. Sometimes it will modify the value you set, like in jabber:iq:version SetVersion() the function adds on the Net::Jabber version to the string just for advertisement purposes. =) master - this desribes a function that behaves like the SetMessage() function in Net::Jabber::Message. It takes a hash and sets all of the values defined, and the Set returns a hash with the values that are defined in the object.
