Hey stephane,
If I understand correctly you want to store data using Jabber's
persistence layer, aka XDB.
Well it's simple enough. What you can do is look at existing components
to see how they do it.
XDB can SET or GET xml nodes. The nodes are stored and retrieved
according to the particular host, user and namespace specified in the
packet.
- XDB Set
It will store whatever is in the node in the 'db' (flat files by
default)
Example:
<xdb type='set' to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
from='sessions' ns='jabber:x:offline' id='4'>
<offline xmlns='jabber:x:offline'/>
</xdb>
This will replace the content of the namespace 'jabber:x:offline', for
the user 'someuser' of the host 'host.com' by the fragment <offline
.../>
- XDB Get
<xdb type='get' to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
from='sessions' ns='jabber:iq:auth' id='1'/>
This will look into a file for the server 'host.com', user 'popo' and
namespace 'jabber:iq:auth' and send you back the node that's been set at
this place.
It will return a packet that looks like:
<xdb type='result' to='sessions'
from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' ns='jabber:iq:auth' id='1'>
<password xmlns='jabber:iq:auth'>frob</password>
</xdb>
Basically you can think of that as a way to store variables, with a
variable name equal to server+user+namespace.
Note that Jabber provides a default flat file XDB component that's able
to store and retrieve any XML you want without any change. If you want
to have a SQL based XDB component, then you must create SQL queries
that'll match every particular XML you want to store (unless you store
the XML direclty into a varchar or text, blob ...)
Hope it helps a bit.
