1.1. Overview

This module offer the functionality of a presence user agent client, sending Subscribe and Publish messages.

Now it can be used with the following modules: pua_mi and pua_usrloc, pua_bla and pua_xmpp. The pua_mi offer the possibility to publish any kind of information or subscribing to a resource through fifo. The pua_usrloc module calls a function exported by pua modules to publish elementary presence information, such as basic status "open" or "closed", for clients that do not implement client-to-server presence. Through pua_bla , BRIDGED LINE APPEARANCE features are added to openser. The pua_xmpp module represents a gateway between SIP and XMPP, so that jabber and SIP clients can exchange presence information.

The module use cache to store presentity list and writes to database on timer to be able to recover upon restart.

No function exported to be used in configuration script.

1.5. Installation

The module requires 1 table in OpenSER database: pua. The SQL syntax to create it can be found in presence_xml-create.sql script in the database directories in the openser/scripts folder. You can also find the complete database documentation on the project webpage, http://www.openser-project.org/docs/db-tables/openser-db-devel.html.

- ev_flag     : an event flag defined as a macro in pua module		
- name        : the event name to be used in Event request headers
- content_type: the default content_type for Publish body for 
                that event (NULL if winfo event)
- process_body: function that processes the received body before 
                using it to construct the PUBLISH request
                (NULL if winfo event)
...
				

This function allows registering new events to the pua module. Now there are 4 events supported by the pua module: presence, presence;winfo, message-summary, dialog;sla. These events are registered from within the pua module.

Filed type for process_body:

...
typedef int (evs_process_body_t)(struct publ_info* publ, 
  str** final_body, int ver, str* tuple);

- ver       : a counter for the sent Publish requests
              (used for winfo events)
- tuple     : a unique identifier for the resource;
              if an initial Publish it should be returned as a result
              and it will be stored  for that record, otherwise it will
              be given as a parameter;
