Subject: Getting additional properties from user
How would I go about getting any additional properties from a user in the OnRosterItem or OnPresence events?
Thanks,
Matthew

Which properties do you refer to?
Ones that we define.
The Openfire XMPP server that we're using has a REST API that allows us to supply any number of simple key/value pairs of "extended properties" on users. There is no fixed set of property keys. I guess I just assumed that this was a feature of the XMPP spec.
In my case, I am wanting to add properties to users like "floor," "unit," "room," "bed," "device-type," etc. This system I'm working on is going to be used in a hospital setting and having some additional metadata about the users/devices in the ecosystem will be helpful. I suppose I could always just use the RESTAPI to query the server when I get the JID from the OnRosterItem or the OnPresence events, but if it were somehow contained within the data that's already coming through on the wire that would be ideal.

I don't know where those properties end up in openfire.
You can check if they get returned in the xml of the user's vCard, or with the roster item.

It doesn't appear to be in the RosterItem object I get in the OnRosterItem event handler. How would I get access to the user's vCard?

Look at the MiniClient example here:

It's not in there. I can just use the REST API from inside the OnRosterItem handler to get those extended properties from openfire.

OK, you can also ask the Openfire developers if this information is available over XMPP functionality.
