[sip-comm-dev] Add New OperationSet

#1

Hello all,

first I want to say nice job to all the Sip-Communicator Team, I'm an
every day SipCom user and I just love it !

So, here's my problem. I'm starting to develop a new plugin which is
based on Jabber protocol. I'm playing with the Smack API in order to
implement specific Jabber message. Currently with the
ProtocolProviderService, I can not have an access to the low level
connection Objet in order to send and receive my custom Jabber
messages.

Shall we create a new generic interface in order to access to such an
object in the protocol specific implementation ? I'm thinking on a
OperationSetConnection and a Connection interface in
net.java.sip.communicator.service.protocol .

Best regards and bravo,

Guillaume Schreiner

Hi,
In ProtocolProviderService for the jabber protocol which is ProtocolProviderServiceJabberImpl
you have XMPPConnection connection which is what you need I think.

Hi Damian,

the problem is that the bundle protocol-jabber.jar doesn't export the
package net.java.sip.communicator.impl.protocol.jabber, so I can't get
a reference to the
ProtocolProviderServiceJabberImpl in order to cast the
ProtocolProviderService in another bundle.

In fact, this is normal behaviour because of the concept of OSGI which
export only the services interface and not the implementation. That's
why I though I should create a new OperationSet which provide an
interface to the connection and the Jabber implementation should
return a pointer to the XMPPConnection.

WDYT ?

Hello Guillaume,

Thanks for the nice words!

This has been a question that I've been asking myself for some time now.
What mechanism should we have so that volunteers could not only
implement new protocols but also be able to extend existing implementations?

I am afraid that there's no way we could do this independently of the underlying implementation since that's what you'd be interacting with when adding extra functionality to an existing protocol provider. So we'll have to find specific ways of doing so for every provider implementation.

This means that we'll have to think of a jabber/smack specific interface that is exported by the jabber implementation and that would allow you to get access to everything you need (such as the XMPPConnection).

Would you want to take a hack on such an interface and send it to the list?
