Thanks Anca to share with us this valuable information on how the presence module does work.

Nevertheless I need to understand if this order (most recent information in first tuple) is an implementation decision in openser presence module or if it is based on a standard specification (eg. RFC) ?

Pascal

Hi Dan,

In fact, the presence modules orders the tuples in the Notify body after the time the Publish was received. So, you will always have the most recent information first.

Hi Pascal,

many thanks for the tip. Looks like a nice approach on a first glance.

I use sip-communicator and am in contact with the developers. Will try the approach for the client then, but the idea with the timestamp on the server side could help much more people hitting the same issues and not able to touch their clients.

Wish you a nice weekend!

   Hi

   I use the <timestamp/> element (section 4.1.7 of RFC 3863) of
   <tuple/> to detect the most recent tuple and ignore the outdated ones.

   Problem, the <timestamp/> is an optional element and your clients
   may not insert it when publishing. Do you control the client
   source code that publishes the presence information ? If no we
   should find a way in openser presence module to add this timestamp
   element for you. I add a quick look at PRESENCE and PRESENCE_XML
   but I haven't find anything yet.

       Guys,

       while dealing with presence/presence_xml modules, I came into
       one situation when one user crashes simultaneously and each
       time displaying different presence info (online, away,
       offline). Have noticed that the presence server is smart
       enough to inform all the other watchers about three different
       status information for the same user.

       My question is, how can the watcher know the most recent
       status information. Have looked on both order of info in the
       tuple as well as on ids but did not find any logic. Can u
       please guide me about possibilities I have?

       Thank you in advance,

       PS: FYI, I am pasting such a tuple example.

       <tuple xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf" id="t9062">
           <status xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf">
           <basic>closed</basic>
            </status>
       </tuple>
       <dm:person xmlns:dm="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:data-model"
       xmlns:rpid="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:rpid"
       id="p8838"><rpid:activities/></dm:person>
       <tuple xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf" id="t5358">
       <status><basic>open</basic></status><contact>sip:user@domain.com
       <mailto:sip%3Auser@domain.com></contact><note>Online</note>

       </tuple>
       <dm:person xmlns:dm="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:data-model"
       xmlns:rpid="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:rpid"
       id="p4226"><rpid:activities><rpid:away/></rpid:activities></dm:person>
       <tuple xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf" id="t7139">
       <status><basic>open</basic></status><contact>sip:user@domain.com
       <mailto:sip%3Auser@domain.com></contact><note>Away</note>

       </tuple>
       <dm:person xmlns:dm="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:data-model"
       xmlns:rpid="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:rpid"
       id="p4606"><rpid:activities/></dm:person>
       <tuple xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf" id="t5632">
       <status><basic>open</basic></status><contact>sip:user@domain.com
       <mailto:sip%3Auser@domain.com></contact><note>Online</note>

       </tuple></presence>
