NAME

6       Net::XMPP::Message - XMPP Message Module
7

SYNOPSIS

9         Net::XMPP::Message is a companion to the Net::XMPP module.
10         It provides the user a simple interface to set and retrieve all
11         parts of an XMPP Message.
12

DESCRIPTION

14         A Net::XMPP::Message object is passed to the callback function for
15         the message.  Also, the first argument to the callback functions is
16         the session ID from XML::Stream.  There are some cases where you
17         might want thisinformation, like if you created a Client that
18         connects to two servers at once, or for writing a mini server.
19
20           use Net::XMPP;
21
22           sub message {
23             my ($sid,$Mess) = @_;
24             .
25             .
26             .
27           }
28
29         You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available.
30
31         To create a new message to send to the server:
32
33           use Net::XMPP;
34
35           $Mess = Net::XMPP::Message->new();
36
37         Now you can call the creation functions below to populate the tag
38         before sending it.

METHODS

41   Retrieval functions
42         GetTo()      - returns the value in the to='' attribute for the
43         GetTo("jid")   <message/>.  If you specify "jid" as an argument
44                        then a Net::XMPP::JID object is returned and
45                        you can easily parse the parts of the JID.
46
47                        $to    = $Mess->GetTo();
48                        $toJID = $Mess->GetTo("jid");
49
50         GetFrom()      - returns the value in the from='' attribute for the
51         GetFrom("jid")   <message/>.  If you specify "jid" as an argument
52                          then a Net::XMPP::JID object is returned and
53                          you can easily parse the parts of the JID.
54
55                          $from    = $Mess->GetFrom();
56                          $fromJID = $Mess->GetFrom("jid");
57
58         GetType() - returns the type='' attribute of the <message/>.  Each
59                     message is one of four types:
60
61                       normal        regular message (default if type is blank)
62                       chat          one on one chat
63                       groupchat     multi-person chat
64                       headline      headline
65                       error         error message
66
67                     $type = $Mess->GetType();
68
69         GetSubject() - returns the data in the <subject/> tag.
70
71                        $subject = $Mess->GetSubject();
72
73         GetBody() - returns the data in the <body/> tag.
74
75                     $body = $Mess->GetBody();
76
77         GetThread() - returns the data in the <thread/> tag.
78
79                       $thread = $Mess->GetThread();
80
81         GetError() - returns a string with the data of the <error/> tag.
82
83                      $error = $Mess->GetError();
84
85         GetErrorCode() - returns a string with the code='' attribute of the
86                          <error/> tag.
87
88                          $errCode = $Mess->GetErrorCode();
89
90         GetTimeStamp() - returns a string that represents the time this
91                          message object was created (and probably received)
92                          for sending to the client.  If there is a
93                          jabber:x:delay tag then that time is used to show
94                          when the message was sent.
95
96                          $date = $Mess->GetTimeStamp();
97
98   Creation functions
99         SetMessage(to=>string|JID,    - set multiple fields in the <message/>
100                    from=>string|JID,    at one time.  This is a cumulative
101                    type=>string,        and over writing action.  If you set
102                    subject=>string,     the "to" attribute twice, the second
103                    body=>string,        setting is what is used.  If you set
104                    thread=>string,      the subject, and then set the body
105                    errorcode=>string,   then both will be in the <message/>
106                    error=>string)       tag.  For valid settings read the
107                                         specific Set functions below.
108
109                                   $Mess->SetMessage(TO=>"bob\@jabber.org",
110                                                     Subject=>"Lunch",
111                                                     BoDy=>"Let's do lunch!");
112                                   $Mess->SetMessage(to=>"bob\@jabber.org",
113                                                     from=>"jabber.org",
114                                                     errorcode=>404,
115                                                     error=>"Not found");
116
117         SetTo(string) - sets the to='' attribute.  You can either pass
118         SetTo(JID)      a string or a JID object.  They must be valid JIDs
119                         or the server will return an error message.
120                         (ie.  bob@jabber.org/Work)
121
122                         $Mess->SetTo("test\@jabber.org");
123
124         SetFrom(string) - sets the from='' attribute.  You can either pass
125         SetFrom(JID)      a string or a JID object.  They must be valid JIDs
126                           or the server will return an error message. (ie.
127                           jabber:bob@jabber.org/Work) This field is not
128                           required if you are writing a Client since the
129                           server will put the JID of your connection in
130                           there to prevent spamming.
131
132                           $Mess->SetFrom("me\@jabber.org");
133
134         SetType(string) - sets the type attribute.  Valid settings are:
135
136                             normal         regular message (default if blank)
137                             chat           one one one chat style message
138                             groupchat      multi-person chatroom message
139                             headline       news headline, stock ticker, etc...
140                             error          error message
141
142                           $Mess->SetType("groupchat");
143
144         SetSubject(string) - sets the subject of the <message/>.
145
146                              $Mess->SetSubject("This is a test");
147
148         SetBody(string) - sets the body of the <message/>.
149
150                           $Mess->SetBody("To be or not to be...");
151
152         SetThread(string) - sets the thread of the <message/>.  You should
153                             copy this out of the message being replied to so
154                             that the thread is maintained.
155
156                             $Mess->SetThread("AE912B3");
157
158         SetErrorCode(string) - sets the error code of the <message/>.
159
160                                $Mess->SetErrorCode(403);
161
162         SetError(string) - sets the error string of the <message/>.
163
164                            $Mess->SetError("Permission Denied");
165
166         Reply(hash) - creates a new Message object and populates the
167                       to/from, and the subject by putting "re: " in
168                       front.  If you specify a hash the same as with
169                       SetMessage then those values will override the
170                       Reply values.
171
172                       $Reply = $Mess->Reply();
173                       $Reply = $Mess->Reply(type=>"chat");
