/**
* The XMPPConnection interface provides an interface for connections to an XMPP server and
* implements shared methods which are used by the different types of connections (e.g.
* XMPPTCPConnection or XMPPBOSHConnection). To create a connection to an XMPP server
* a simple usage of this API might look like the following:
*
*
* // Create a connection to the igniterealtime.org XMPP server.
* XMPPTCPConnection con = new XMPPTCPConnection("igniterealtime.org");
* // Connect to the server
* con.connect();
* // Most servers require you to login before performing other tasks.
* con.login("jsmith", "mypass");
* // Start a new conversation with John Doe and send him a message.
* ChatManager chatManager = ChatManager.getInstanceFor(con);
* chatManager.addIncomingListener(new IncomingChatMessageListener() {
* public void newIncomingMessage(EntityBareJid from, Message message, Chat chat) {
* // Print out any messages we get back to standard out.
* System.out.println("Received message: " + message);
* }
* });
* Chat chat = chatManager.chatWith("[email protected]");
* chat.send("Howdy!");
* // Disconnect from the server
* con.disconnect();
*
*
* Note that the XMPPConnection interface does intentionally not declare any methods that manipulate
* the connection state, e.g. connect(), disconnect(). You should use the
* most specific connection type, e.g. XMPPTCPConnection as declared type and use the
* XMPPConnection interface when you don't need to manipulate the connection state.
*
*
* XMPPConnections can be reused between connections. This means that an Connection may be connected,
* disconnected and then connected again. Listeners of the XMPPConnection will be retained across
* connections.
*
* Incoming Stanza Listeners
* Most callbacks (listeners, handlers, …) than you can add to a connection come in three different variants:
*
* - standard
* - async (asynchronous)
* - sync (synchronous)
*
*
* Standard callbacks are invoked concurrently, but it is ensured that the same callback is never run concurrently.
* The callback's identity is used as key for that. The events delivered to the callback preserve the order of the
* causing events of the connection.
*
*
* Asynchronous callbacks are run decoupled from the connections main event loop. Hence a callback triggered by
* stanza B may (appear to) invoked before a callback triggered by stanza A, even though stanza A arrived before B.
*
*
* Synchronous callbacks are run synchronous to the main event loop of a connection. Hence they are invoked in the
* exact order of how events happen there, most importantly the arrival order of incoming stanzas. You should only
* use synchronous callbacks in rare situations.
