6 Net::XMPP::Message - XMPP Message Module
7
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
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 use Net::XMPP;
21 sub message {
23 my ($sid,$Mess) = @_;
24 .
25 .
26 .
27 }
28 You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available.
30 To create a new message to send to the server:
32 use Net::XMPP;
34 $Mess = new Net::XMPP::Message();
36 Now you can call the creation functions below to populate the tag
38 before sending it.

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 $to = $Mess->GetTo();
48 $toJID = $Mess->GetTo("jid");
49 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 $from = $Mess->GetFrom();
56 $fromJID = $Mess->GetFrom("jid");
57 GetType() - returns the type='' attribute of the <message/>. Each
59 message is one of four types:
60 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 $type = $Mess->GetType();
68 GetSubject() - returns the data in the <subject/> tag.
70 $subject = $Mess->GetSubject();
72 GetBody() - returns the data in the <body/> tag.
74 $body = $Mess->GetBody();
76 GetThread() - returns the data in the <thread/> tag.
78 $thread = $Mess->GetThread();
80 GetError() - returns a string with the data of the <error/> tag.
82 $error = $Mess->GetError();
84 GetErrorCode() - returns a string with the code='' attribute of the
86 <error/> tag.
87 $errCode = $Mess->GetErrorCode();
89 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 $date = $Mess->GetTimeStamp();
97 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 $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 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 $Mess->SetTo("test\@jabber.org");
123 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 $Mess->SetFrom("me\@jabber.org");
133 SetType(string) - sets the type attribute. Valid settings are:
135 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 $Mess->SetType("groupchat");
143 SetSubject(string) - sets the subject of the <message/>.
145 $Mess->SetSubject("This is a test");
147 SetBody(string) - sets the body of the <message/>.
149 $Mess->SetBody("To be or not to be...");
151 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 $Mess->SetThread("AE912B3");
157 SetErrorCode(string) - sets the error code of the <message/>.
159 $Mess->SetErrorCode(403);
161 SetError(string) - sets the error string of the <message/>.
163 $Mess->SetError("Permission Denied");
165 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 $Reply = $Mess->Reply();
173 $Reply = $Mess->Reply(type=>"chat");
174 Removal functions
176 RemoveTo() - removes the to attribute from the <message/>.
177 $Mess->RemoveTo();
179 RemoveFrom() - removes the from attribute from the <message/>.
181 $Mess->RemoveFrom();
183 RemoveType() - removes the type attribute from the <message/>.
185 $Mess->RemoveType();
187 RemoveSubject() - removes the <subject/> element from the
189 <message/>.
190 $Mess->RemoveSubject();
192 RemoveBody() - removes the <body/> element from the
194 <message/>.
195 $Mess->RemoveBody();
197 RemoveThread() - removes the <thread/> element from the <message/>.
199 $Mess->RemoveThread();
201 RemoveError() - removes the <error/> element from the <message/>.
203 $Mess->RemoveError();
205 RemoveErrorCode() - removes the code attribute from the <error/>
207 element in the <message/>.
208 $Mess->RemoveErrorCode();
210 Test functions

213 <message/>, 0 otherwise.
214 $test = $Mess->DefinedTo();
