NAME

Net::XMPP3::JID - XMPP JID Module

SYNOPSIS

Net::XMPP3::JID is a companion to the Net::XMPP3 module.
It provides the user a simple interface to set and retrieve all
parts of a Jabber ID (userid on a server).

DESCRIPTION

To initialize the JID you must pass it the string that represents the
jid from the XML packet.  Inside the XMPP modules this is done
automatically and the JID object is returned instead of a string.
For example, in the callback function for the XMPP object foo:

  use Net::XMPP3;

  sub foo {
    my $foo = new Net::XMPP3::Foo(@_);
    my $from = $foo->GetFrom();
    my $JID = new Net::XMPP3::JID($from);
    .
    .
    .
  }

You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available.

To create a new JID to send to the server:

  use Net::XMPP3;

  $JID = new Net::XMPP3::JID();

Now you can call the creation functions below to populate the tag
before sending it.

Retrieval functions

$userid   = $JID->GetUserID();
$server   = $JID->GetServer();
$resource = $JID->GetResource();

$JID      = $JID->GetJID();
$fullJID  = $JID->GetJID("full");
$baseJID  = $JID->GetJID("base");

Creation functions

$JID->SetJID(userid=>"bob",
             server=>"jabber.org",
             resource=>"Work");

$JID->SetJID('blue@moon.org/Home');

$JID->SetUserID("foo");
$JID->SetServer("bar.net");
$JID->SetResource("Foo Bar");

METHODS

Retrieval functions

GetUserID() - returns a string with the userid of the JID.
              If the string is an address (bob%jabber.org) then
              the function will return it as an address
              (bob@jabber.org).

GetServer() - returns a string with the server of the JID.

GetResource() - returns a string with the resource of the JID.

GetJID()       - returns a string that represents the JID stored
GetJID("full")   within.  If the "full" string is specified, then
GetJID("base")   you get the full JID, including Resource, which
                 should be used to send to the server.  If the "base",
                 string is specified, then you will just get
                 user@server, or the base JID.

Creation functions

SetJID(userid=>string,   - set multiple fields in the jid at
       server=>string,     one time.  This is a cumulative
       resource=>string)   and over writing action.  If you set
SetJID(string)             the "userid" attribute twice, the second
                           setting is what is used.  If you set
                           the server, and then set the resource
                           then both will be in the jid.  If all
                           you pass is a string, then that string
                           is used as the JID.  For valid settings
                           read the specific Set functions below.

SetUserID(string) - sets the userid.  Must be a valid userid or the
                    server will complain if you try to use this JID
                    to talk to the server.  If the string is an
                    address then it will be converted to the %
                    form suitable for using as a User ID.

SetServer(string) - sets the server.  Must be a valid host on the
                    network or the server will not be able to talk
                    to it.

SetResource(string) - sets the resource of the userid to talk to.
