Example:
We want to create our own XMPP extension to send weather information over the XMPP network. The easiest way to do that is to embed the data with a message stanza. Our raw XML message with embedded weather information will look like that:

  1. <message xmlns="jabber:client" to="romeo@montage.net">
  2.    <weather xmlns="agsoftware:weather">
  3.       <humidity>90</humidity>
  4.       <temperature>57</temperature>
  5.    </weather>
  6. </message>

We created a new namespace for our own protocol and the 3 new elements weather, humidity and temperature.
First we create a new class weather.cs for our custom XML-Element and derive from agsXMPP.Xml.Dom.Element

  1. using System;
  2. using agsXMPP.Xml.Dom;
  3.  
  4. namespace MiniClient
  5. {
  6.     public class Weather : Element
  7.     {
  8.         public Weather()
  9.         {
  10.             this.TagName = "weather";
  11.             this.Namespace = "agsoftware:weather";
  12.         }
  13.  
  14.         public Weather(int humidity, int temperature) : this()
  15.         {
  16.             this.Humidity       = humidity;          
  17.             this.Temperature    = temperature;
  18.         }
  19.  
  20.         public int Humidity
  21.         {
  22.             get { return GetTagInt("humidity"); }
  23.             set { SetTag("humidity", value.ToString()); }
  24.         }
  25.  
  26.         public int Temperature
  27.         {
  28.             get { return GetTagInt("temperature"); }
  29.             set { SetTag("temperature", value.ToString()); }
  30.         }
  31.  
  32.     }
  33. }

We have to register the new class in the ElementFactory. Without registering the class the XML-Parser is not able to build or weather objects while parsing the XML-Stream. We register the class with the following line of code:

  1. agsXMPP.Factory.ElementFactory.AddElementType("weather", "agsoftware:weather", typeof(Weather));

You should register your own Elements before doing anything else with agsXMPP.

Now we can build our weather message and send it:

  1. Weather weather = new Weather(90, 57);
  2.  
  3. Jid to = new Jid("romeo@montage.net");
  4. Message msg = new Message();
  5. msg.To = to;
  6. // Add our weather Element
  7. msg.AddChild(weather);
  8. // Send the message
  9. XmppCon.Send(msg);

Another application which receives this message can access our custom data like in this OnMessage handler:

  1. private void XmppCon_OnMessage(object sender, Message msg)
  2. {
  3.     if (msg.HasTag(typeof(Weather)))
  4.     {
  5.         Weather weather = msg.SelectSingleElement(typeof(Weather)) as Weather;
  6.         Console.WriteLine(weather.Temperature.ToString());
  7.         Console.WriteLine(weather.Humidity.ToString());
  8.     }
  9. }

i hope this tutorial will help you and is useful for other developers too.

Subject: Weather example
I copy pasted your example to my application and I successfully manage to send the WeatherIQ from one side to the other with the following XML

<iq xmlns="jabber:client" id="agsXMPP_14" type="get" to="simons@xmppserver/Bust" from="simonhamelech@xmppserver/Bust">
<query xmlns="agsoftware:weather">
<zip>12345</zip>
</query>
</iq>

However, when the message is received by the remote side using the following code, bWeather remains false as the query type would seem to be agsXMPP.Xml.Dom.Element and not agsXMPP.protocol.extensions.Weather.Weather:

        private void XmppCon_OnIq(object sender, agsXMPP.Xml.Dom.Node e)
        {
            if (InvokeRequired)
            {
                // Windows Forms are not Thread Safe, we need to invoke this :(
                // We're not in the UI thread, so we need to call BeginInvoke               
                BeginInvoke(new StreamHandler(XmppCon_OnIq), new object[] { sender, e });
                return;
            }

            agsXMPP.protocol.client.IQ iq = e as IQ;

            if (iq != null)
            {
                Element query = iq.Query;

                if (query != null)
                {
                        bool bWeather = false;
                        if (query.GetType() == typeof(agsXMPP.protocol.extensions.Weather.Weather))
                            bWeather = true;
                }
           }
        }

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Simon

Hello simons,

you have to register the weather classes in the ElementFactory with it's tagnames and namespaces.

Hi Alex,

I have added the following line to \agsXMPP\Factory\ElementFactory.cs.

AddElementType("weather",           Uri.WEATHER,                typeof(agsXMPP.protocol.extensions.Weather.Weather));

and the following line to agsXMPP\Uri.cs

public const string WEATHER             = "agsoftware:weather";

but it does not seem to help.

Any more ideas?

Thanks,

Simon

Hello,

in the sample above the tagname is query, not weather
So use:

  1. AddElementType("query",           Uri.WEATHER,                typeof(agsXMPP.protocol.extensions.Weather.Weather));

Subject: the query can't  get
HI,Alex:
        i use this example ,agsXMPP add

AddElementType("query", Uri.WEATHER, typeof(agsXMPP.protocol.extensions.sim.Weather));

client as following:

           WeatherIq wIq = new WeatherIq(IqType.get);
            wIq.To = new Jid("weather.mortagne.net");
            wIq.From = new Jid("romeo@montagne.net");
             wIq.Query.Zip = 74080;
              XmppCon.Send(wIq);

server can't get query
 Element query = iq.Query;

            if (query != null)
            {
                string type = query.GetType().ToString();

            }
the query is null, and the client build this xml:
<iq xmlns="jabber:client" id="agsXMPP_6" type="get" to="weather.mortagne.net" from="romeo@montagne.net"><weather xmlns="agsoftware:weather"><zip>74080</zip></weather></iq>


your write example buile the xml
<iq to=’romeo@montagne.net’ from=’weather.mortagne.net’ type=’result’
id=’agsXMPP_1’>
<query xmlns=’agsoftware:weather’>
<humidity>90</humidity >
<temperature>57</temperature>
<zip>74080</zip>
</query>
</iq>


any idear? thanks

Subject: Another issue
Hi Alex
I use openfire server and when i try the same example i get the foll. error

<iq xmlns="jabber:client" from="test@localxmppserver" to="sample@localxmppserver/agsXMPP" type="error" id="agsXMPP_4"><query xmlns="agsoftware:weather"><zip>74080</zip></query><error code="503" type="cancel"><service-unavailable xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanza...

ofcourse i have registered weather (with "query" as tagname) with the element factory.
Any idea why is it so? is it the openfire server or something else.

Thanks

Hello,

service-unavailable normally indicates that the entity the stanzas should be delivered to is unavailable.
Is sample@localxmppserver/agsXMPP available when you are sending the IQ?

Hi Alex
I have just written a simple client application to login using XMPPClientConnection. It handles sending/receiving messages and IQs.
So far i have tried out sending  iqs addressed to server and had no problem with the same.
Just then i tried sending a custom iq (weatheriq) from 'test' user to 'sample' user by using the same simple clients - one each for the respective user.
note: I have not taken care of any presence stanza information as i'm not aware whether those are needed.
Thanks

in your case Iqs get delivered from client to client. Unlike messages they are not stored for offline delivery by the server. They can be only delivered when the user is online. And the Iqs must be sent to the full Jids.
So you need the presence information to get the resources and deliver the iq to the correct full jid. Otherwise you get the error messages you posted before.
