Superfeedr XMPP API Java Wrapper

Thanks to

Thomas RICARD, July 2009

Dependency :

Smack 3.1 Smackx library Java 5+

Use

To use the Superfeedr java library, just add the file ./distrib/superfeedr.jar to your classpath.

See the class org.superfeedr.test.Test to know how to use it.

Building

You don't need that if you don't need to change the code. Please just use the built .jar file in /distrib

It you changed the code, you can rebuild the .jar file, by using ant in the wrapper directory or use maven clean install if you prefer to use Maven 2

Example

import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPConnection;
import org.superfeedr.OnNotificationHandler;
import org.superfeedr.Superfeedr;
import org.superfeedr.OnResponseHandler;
import org.superfeedr.extension.notification.ItemExtension;
import org.superfeedr.extension.notification.SuperfeedrEventExtension;

Small Sample/example that you can start to use to track Superfeedr.

        // Actually perform the subscription, and calls the second argument when performed
        // You can obviously do 'unsubscribe' too.

Warning

We know our limits and we know we can’t actively support wrappers in every languages. Like everybody, we have our favorite languages and platform, and there is little chance that we ever get a deep enough knownledge in all that languages that you guys use to offer great services. So, for us, the limit of what we can provide and support is our API (both XMPP and PubSubHubbub).

However, we’re not blind either and we know how these parsers are important for everybody to get started and integrate Superfeedr into their existing apps, so we take great care of them and try to help people use them or fix problems.

These libs are not ours, they wait for your input, your documentation, your testing, as well as_ your suggestions for new features_. We will just help gathering them and keeping track by connecting the people who made them with the people who use them.

Please, fork it and make it better!
