Net::XMPP::Message(3) User Contributed Perl DocumentationNet::XMPP::Message(3)NAMENet::XMPP::Message - XMPP Message Module
SYNOPSISNet::XMPP::Message is a companion to the Net::XMPP module.
It provides the user a simple interface to set and retrieve all
parts of an XMPP Message.
DESCRIPTION
A Net::XMPP::Message object is passed to the callback function for
the message. Also, the first argument to the callback functions is
the session ID from XML::Stream. There are some cases where you
might want thisinformation, like if you created a Client that
connects to two servers at once, or for writing a mini server.
use Net::XMPP;
sub message {
my ($sid,$Mess) = @_;
.
.
.
}
You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available.
To create a new message to send to the server:
use Net::XMPP;
$Mess = new Net::XMPP::Message();
Now you can call the creation functions below to populate the tag
before sending it.
METHODS
Retrieval functions
GetTo() - returns the value in the to='' attribute for the
GetTo("jid") <message/>. If you specify "jid" as an argument
then a Net::XMPP::JID object is returned and
you can easily parse the parts of the JID.
$to = $Mess->GetTo();
$toJID = $Mess->GetTo("jid");
GetFrom() - returns the value in the from='' attribute for the
GetFrom("jid") <message/>. If you specify "jid" as an argument
then a Net::XMPP::JID object is returned and
you can easily parse the parts of the JID.
$from = $Mess->GetFrom();
$fromJID = $Mess->GetFrom("jid");
GetType() - returns the type='' attribute of the <message/>. Each
message is one of four types:
normal regular message (default if type is blank)
chat one on one chat
groupchat multi-person chat
headline headline
error error message
$type = $Mess->GetType();
GetSubject() - returns the data in the <subject/> tag.
$subject = $Mess->GetSubject();
GetBody() - returns the data in the <body/> tag.
$body = $Mess->GetBody();
GetThread() - returns the data in the <thread/> tag.
$thread = $Mess->GetThread();
GetError() - returns a string with the data of the <error/> tag.
$error = $Mess->GetError();
GetErrorCode() - returns a string with the code='' attribute of the
<error/> tag.
$errCode = $Mess->GetErrorCode();
GetTimeStamp() - returns a string that represents the time this
message object was created (and probably received)
for sending to the client. If there is a
jabber:x:delay tag then that time is used to show
when the message was sent.
$date = $Mess->GetTimeStamp();
Creation functions
SetMessage(to=>string|JID, - set multiple fields in the <message/>
from=>string|JID, at one time. This is a cumulative
type=>string, and over writing action. If you set
subject=>string, the "to" attribute twice, the second
body=>string, setting is what is used. If you set
thread=>string, the subject, and then set the body
errorcode=>string, then both will be in the <message/>
error=>string) tag. For valid settings read the
specific Set functions below.
$Mess->SetMessage(TO=>"bob\@jabber.org",
Subject=>"Lunch",
BoDy=>"Let's do lunch!");
$Mess->SetMessage(to=>"bob\@jabber.org",
from=>"jabber.org",
errorcode=>404,
error=>"Not found");
SetTo(string) - sets the to='' attribute. You can either pass
SetTo(JID) a string or a JID object. They must be valid JIDs
or the server will return an error message.
(ie. bob@jabber.org/Work)
$Mess->SetTo("test\@jabber.org");
SetFrom(string) - sets the from='' attribute. You can either pass
SetFrom(JID) a string or a JID object. They must be valid JIDs
or the server will return an error message. (ie.
jabber:bob@jabber.org/Work) This field is not
required if you are writing a Client since the
server will put the JID of your connection in
there to prevent spamming.
$Mess->SetFrom("me\@jabber.org");
SetType(string) - sets the type attribute. Valid settings are:
normal regular message (default if blank)
chat one one one chat style message
groupchat multi-person chatroom message
headline news headline, stock ticker, etc...
error error message
$Mess->SetType("groupchat");
SetSubject(string) - sets the subject of the <message/>.
$Mess->SetSubject("This is a test");
SetBody(string) - sets the body of the <message/>.
$Mess->SetBody("To be or not to be...");
SetThread(string) - sets the thread of the <message/>. You should
copy this out of the message being replied to so
that the thread is maintained.
$Mess->SetThread("AE912B3");
SetErrorCode(string) - sets the error code of the <message/>.
$Mess->SetErrorCode(403);
SetError(string) - sets the error string of the <message/>.
$Mess->SetError("Permission Denied");
Reply(hash) - creates a new Message object and populates the
to/from, and the subject by putting "re: " in
front. If you specify a hash the same as with
SetMessage then those values will override the
Reply values.
$Reply = $Mess->Reply();
$Reply = $Mess->Reply(type=>"chat");
Removal functions
RemoveTo() - removes the to attribute from the <message/>.
$Mess->RemoveTo();
RemoveFrom() - removes the from attribute from the <message/>.
$Mess->RemoveFrom();
RemoveType() - removes the type attribute from the <message/>.
$Mess->RemoveType();
RemoveSubject() - removes the <subject/> element from the
<message/>.
$Mess->RemoveSubject();
RemoveBody() - removes the <body/> element from the
<message/>.
$Mess->RemoveBody();
RemoveThread() - removes the <thread/> element from the <message/>.
$Mess->RemoveThread();
RemoveError() - removes the <error/> element from the <message/>.
$Mess->RemoveError();
RemoveErrorCode() - removes the code attribute from the <error/>
element in the <message/>.
$Mess->RemoveErrorCode();
Test functions
DefinedTo() - returns 1 if the to attribute is defined in the
<message/>, 0 otherwise.
$test = $Mess->DefinedTo();
DefinedFrom() - returns 1 if the from attribute is defined in the
<message/>, 0 otherwise.
$test = $Mess->DefinedFrom();
DefinedType() - returns 1 if the type attribute is defined in the
<message/>, 0 otherwise.
$test = $Mess->DefinedType();
DefinedSubject() - returns 1 if <subject/> is defined in the
<message/>, 0 otherwise.
$test = $Mess->DefinedSubject();
DefinedBody() - returns 1 if <body/> is defined in the <message/>,
0 otherwise.
$test = $Mess->DefinedBody();
DefinedThread() - returns 1 if <thread/> is defined in the <message/>,
0 otherwise.
$test = $Mess->DefinedThread();
DefinedErrorCode() - returns 1 if <error/> is defined in the
<message/>, 0 otherwise.
$test = $Mess->DefinedErrorCode();
DefinedError() - returns 1 if the code attribute is defined in the
<error/>, 0 otherwise.
$test = $Mess->DefinedError();
