hi,
i played a bit with "LABS-119: Implementing Roster retrieval and
management",
and while StanzaBuilder seems convenient, it still feels a little bit low
level to
manually build the xml structure.
what i'd rather like to do is something like this:
RosterQuery query = new RosterQuery();
List<RosterItem> items = retrieveRosterItems(jid); // do some magic roster
retrieval
query.addItems(items);
RosterItem could be something like this:
@XStreamAlias("item")
class RosterItem {
enum Ask {
subscribe
};
enum Subscription {
both, from, none, remove, to
};
@XStreamImplicit(itemFieldName = "group")
List<String> groups;
@XStreamAsAttribute
Ask ask;
@XStreamAsAttribute
String jid;
@XStreamAsAttribute
String name;
@XStreamAsAttribute
Subscription subscription;
}
serializing a RosterItem with XStream results in something like this:
<item jid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" name="Gerolf Seitz" subscription="both">
<group>friends</group>
<group>family</group>
</item>
i think going the OO route would also help in implementing the numerous
XEPs.
i wouldn't like to use the low level API all the time.
notice: XStream serves just as an example. same goes for jpa and stuff
(although eventually it will have to be serialized to xml before it goes to
the client)
wdyt?
