NAME

Net::Jabber::Data - Jabber Data Library

SYNOPSIS

   Net::Jabber::Data is a companion to the Net::Jabber::XDB module. It
   provides the user a simple interface to set and retrieve all
   parts of a Jabber XDB Data.
 
 

DESCRIPTION

   Net::Jabber::Data 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 list of supported namespaces is:
 
     jabber:iq:auth
     jabber:iq:auth:0k
     jabber:iq:register
     jabber:iq:roster
 
   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::Data 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 Data object you must create an XDB object and use the
   access functions there to get to the Data.  To initialize the XDB with
   a Jabber <xdb/> you must pass it the XML::Stream hash from the
   Net::Jabber::Client module.
 
     my $xdb = new Net::Jabber::XDB(%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::XDB
   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 xdbCB {
       my ($sid,$XDB) = @_;
       my $data = $XDB->GetData();
       .
       .
       .
     }
 
   You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available for
   that namespace.
 
   To create a new xdb to send to the server:
 
     use Net::Jabber;
 
     my $xdb = new Net::Jabber::XDB();
     $data = $xdb->NewData("jabber:iq:auth");
 
   Now you can call the creation functions for the Data as defined in the
   proper namespaces.  See below for the general <data/> functions, and
   in each data module for those functions.
 
   For more information about the array format being passed to the
   CallBack please read the Net::Jabber::Client documentation.
 
 

METHODS

Retrieval functions

   GetXMLNS() - returns a string with the namespace of the data that
                the <xdb/> contains.
 
                $xmlns  = $XDB->GetXMLNS();
 
   GetData() - since the behavior of this module depends on the
                namespace, a Data object may contain Data objects.
                This helps to leverage code reuse by making children
                behave in the same manner.  More than likely this
                function will never be called.
 
                @data = GetData()
 
 

Creation functions

   SetXMLNS(string) - sets the xmlns of the <data/> to the string.
 
                      $data->SetXMLNS("jabber:xdb: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:xdb: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.
 
 

jabber:iq:

   Type     Get               Set               Defined
   =======  ================  ================  ==================
 
 

jabber:iq:

   Type     Get               Set               Defined
   =======  ================  ================  ==================
 
 

jabber:iq:

   Type     Get               Set               Defined
   =======  ================  ================  ==================
 
 

jabber:iq:

   Type     Get               Set               Defined
   =======  ================  ================  ==================
 
 

jabber:iq:

   Type     Get               Set               Defined
   =======  ================  ================  ==================
 
 

CUSTOM NAMESPACES

   Part of the flexability of this module is that you can define your own
   namespace.  For more information on this topic, please read the
   Net::Jabber::Namespaces man page.
