Subject: Questions about IqEventData
What is the best way to access the affiliations inside of the Iq object? When retrieving subscriptions back I have been doing the following which is great:

  1. var pubsub = e.Iq.Element<PubSub>();

and then iterating through the Subscriptions.

I had hoped that the affiliations would be the same way, unfortunately I am doing something wrong and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I'm assuming there is a standard way of retrieving the data from an IqEventArgs apart from actually parsing the xml but I could be wrong.

  1. private void OnRequestAffiliation(object sender, IqEventArgs e)
  2. {  
  3.            var iq = e.Iq;
  4.  
  5.             if(iq != null)
  6.             {
  7.                 XNamespace ns = "http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#owner";
  8.  
  9.                 var a = iq.Query.Element(ns + "affiliations");
  10.             }
  11. }

This returns an affiliations XElement but when I attempt to drill down further to the affiliation element it always returns null... It shows up in the debugger so I know its there but for some reason I'm unable to retrieve.

Thanks in advance,
Peter Norman

here is an example from one of our unit Tests. Let me know if it helps.

  1. public void AffiliationsTest()
  2. {
  3.    const string XML3
  4.             = @"<iq type='result'
  5.    from='pubsub.shakespeare.lit'
  6.    to='francisco@denmark.lit'
  7.    id='affil1' xmlns='jabber:client'>
  8.  <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'>
  9.    <affiliations>
  10.      <affiliation node='node1' affiliation='owner'/>
  11.      <affiliation node='node2' affiliation='publisher'/>
  12.      <affiliation node='node5' affiliation='outcast'/>
  13.      <affiliation node='node6' affiliation='owner'/>
  14.    </affiliations>
  15.  </pubsub>
  16. </iq>";
  17.  var iq = XmppXElement.LoadXml(XML3) as Iq;
  18.  
  19.  var pubsub = iq.Element<Matrix.Xmpp.PubSub.PubSub>();
  20.  var affs = pubsub.Element<Affiliations>();
  21.  
  22.  foreach (var affiliation in affs.GetAffiliations())
  23.  {
  24.       System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(affiliation.Node);
  25.  }
  26. }

I will add a Affiliations property for the next release to the PubSub class. Then you can do:

  1. var affs = pubsub.Affiliations.GetAffiliations())

Another question...

I'm receiving this xml:

  1. <iq from="pubsub.trinity" to="admin@trinity/MatriX" id="MX_50" type="result" xmlns="jabber:client">
  2.  <pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#owner">
  3.     <affiliations node="/home/trinity/admin">
  4.       <affiliation jid="admin@trinity" affiliation="owner" />
  5.     </affiliations>
  6.  </pubsub>
  7. </iq>

  1. var iq = e.Iq;
  2. //var pubsub = iq.Element<Matrix.Xmpp.PubSub.PubSub>(); //<-- This is null
  3. var pubsub = iq.Element<Matrix.Xmpp.PubSub.Owner.PubSub>(); //<-- This is ok and I can see the affiliations
  4. var affs = pubsub.Element<Affiliations>(); //<-- This is null


I see in the unit test you posted the pubsub element doesn't contain the #owner, is that the reason I needed to use the PubSub element from the Owner namespace? Assuming , that is correct I don't undertand why affs is null.

Thanks,
Peter Norman

Alright I see I had to do the following to get the affs populated:

var affs = pubsub.Element<Matrix.Xmpp.PubSub.Owner.Affiliations>();

I see in your unit test that you have two nodes with owner affiliations yet you don't have the #owner portion in your pubsub element... is this a configuration option of ejabberd?

I'm asking because I will be having different types of affiliations and I would prefer your method of grabbing the affiliations.

Thanks

this are just 2 different namespaces for 2 different use cases, both exist.
MatriX is namespace aware, so they have both its own class.

Entity Use Cases Retrieve Affiliations

  1. <iq type='result'
  2.    from='pubsub.shakespeare.lit'
  3.    to='francisco@denmark.lit'
  4.    id='affil1'>
  5.  <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'>
  6.     <affiliations>
  7.       <affiliation node='node1' affiliation='owner'/>
  8.       <affiliation node='node2' affiliation='publisher'/>
  9.       <affiliation node='node5' affiliation='outcast'/>
  10.       <affiliation node='node6' affiliation='owner'/>
  11.     </affiliations>
  12.  </pubsub>
  13. </iq>

Node Owner Managing Affiliations:

  1. <iq type='result'
  2.    from='pubsub.shakespeare.lit'
  3.    to='hamlet@denmark.lit/elsinore'
  4.    id='ent1'>
  5.  <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#owner'>
  6.     <affiliations node='princely_musings'>
  7.       <affiliation jid='hamlet@denmark.lit' affiliation='owner'/>
  8.       <affiliation jid='polonius@denmark.lit' affiliation='outcast'/>
  9.     </affiliations>
  10.  </pubsub>
  11. </iq>

namespaces gets inherited to the children. This means the <affiliations/> and <affiliation/> tags are also in different namespaces and exist twice.
