Method Detail

setStanzaReceiver

void setStanzaReceiver(StanzaReceiverIfc srecv)

getType

String getType()

getType method returns the task type name. This name is displayed on the list of all tasks available for creation. This is not a nick name of created task this is something more like "Drupal forums connector" or "Interest group". Like a Java class name is unique in JVM the task name must be also inique for StanzaReceiver. Look at task nick name for more details.

Returns:

a String value of the task name.

getHelp

String getHelp()

getHelp method returns task help information. This general information about tasks abilties so when the user selects task for creation he might know what the task is about. This is more like class description rather then instance description.

Returns:

a String value of task class help information.

getInstance

ReceiverTaskIfc getInstance()

getInstance method returns new task instance of this type. This is something like Class.newInstance() but as this method is called on the already created instance there is no danger of the number of exceptions which could be normally thrown.

Returns:

a ReceiverTaskIfc new task instance of this type.

setJID

void setJID(tigase.xmpp.JID jid)

setJID method sets tasks Jabber ID, unique ID which is used to identify the task. Example of the resulting Jabber ID for domain tigase.org and StanzaReceiver component name srec would be: devs@srec.tigase.org. There can be many tasks of the same type (having the same TaskType) but they have to have distinct JIDs. Examples of possible JIDs names are: "admin-forum@srec.tigase.org", "cycling-interest-group@srec.tigase.org".

Parameters:

jid - a String value of the nick name.

getJID

tigase.xmpp.JID getJID()

getJID method returns task instance Jabber ID. Refer to corresponding set method for more details.

Returns:

a String value of task instance JID,

See Also:

#setJID(String)

getDescription

String getDescription()

getDescription method returns a description for task instance. Let's say the user want's to create new Interest group for cyclists. This property allows to set some more detailed information about the group like: This is group of ppl interested in mountain cycling near Cambridge. The description is set via properties using DESCRIPTION_PROP_KEY.

Returns:

a String value of task instance description;

See Also:

#DESCRIPTION_PROP_KEY

setParams

void setParams(Map<String,Object> params)

setParams method sets Map with configuration parameters. Some parameters are predefined and common for most of task types but some tasks may require/accept extra parameters to work properly.

Parameters:

params - a Map value with configuration parameters.

getParams

Map<String,PropertyItem> getParams()

getParams method return task instance configuration parameters. For more detailed information about configuration parameters please refer to corresponding set method.

Returns:

a Map value with task instance configuration parameters.

See Also:

setParams(Map)

getDefaultParams

Map<String,PropertyItem> getDefaultParams()

getDefaultParams method return task instance default configuration parameters. The map should contains all possible parameters accepted by the task in setParams method. Values may be empty but may not be null. All of parameters should be converted to String type to make it possible to display them in ad-hoc command x-form. Parameters then should be converted back to whatever format is needed when passed back in setParams method. For more detailed information about configuration parameters please refer to setParams method.

Returns:

a Map value with task instance configuration parameters.

See Also:

setParams(Map)

init

void init(Queue<Packet> results)

init method initializes task. It allows also for a task to send initial stanzas to user like available presence or any other stanza which does make sense to send at startup time.

Parameters:

results - a Queue is a collection of result packets to send out.

destroy

void destroy(Queue<Packet> results)

destroy method is called when the task is being permanently deleted. The method should take care of sending notification to all subscribed users that the task is being deleted and should also clear databases from all task data.

Parameters:

results - a Queue value with all packets needed to send upon task deletion.

processPacket

void processPacket(Packet packet,
                 Queue<Packet> results)

processPacket method takes a packet addressed to this task as a parameter and does something with the packet. If as a result of input packet processing it generates some other packets to send they should be included in the results queue.

Parameters:

packet - a Packet input packet for processing.

results - a Queue is a collection of result packets to send out.

List<StatRecord> getStats()

getStats method retorns list of statistics records. Have a look at StatRecord description for more details.

Returns:

a List of statistics records.

isAdmin

boolean isAdmin(tigase.xmpp.JID jid)

isAdmin method checks whether user given as parameter is one of defined admins. If user is the task owner it is also considered to be task administrator.

Parameters:

jid - a String value of user JID.

Returns:

a boolean value true if given user is either task admin or task owner.

getRoster

Map<tigase.xmpp.JID,RosterItem> getRoster()

getRoster returns roster that is a collection with all users subscribed to this task.

Returns:

a Map value with all user subscribed to this task.

removeSubscribers

void removeSubscribers(Queue<Packet> results,
                     tigase.xmpp.JID... subscr)

setRosterItemModerationAccepted

void setRosterItemModerationAccepted(RosterItem ri,
                                   boolean accepted)

getStatistics

void getStatistics(StatisticsList list)
