Folks -
I'm writing code where I'm trying to 'address' or 'point to' or 'give
a name to' a pubsub node.
My code has the notion of a JID (i.e. there is a 'JID' class) and I
was wondering if some out there thought that using a JID with a
resource identifier as a 'handle' to a pubsub node was an abuse of
JIDs, abuse of the PubSub protocol, abuse of the PEP notions, or all/
none of the above.
In other words, assume:
pubsub.localhost/foonode
and then I use that as a handle within my code to identify the
'foonode' within the 'pubsub.localhost' service.
If folks out there are recoiling in horror :-), if someone would point
me in the right direction in so far as 'best practices', that'd be
great.
I know that XMPP has a notion of xmpp: URIs as well, but it seems to
me that they're sorta RESTy, with actions and stuff. Unless I read
those specs incorrectly, here's a way to subscribe to a Pubsub node
using an xmpp: URI:
xmpp:pubsub.localhost?pubsub;action=subscribe;node=foonode
but I don't see a form that would allow me to 'address' a pubsub node.
Would that just be something like:
xmpp:pubsub.localhost/foonode
??
Thanks!
Cheers,
- Bill
