I am developing a chat app for iPhone using XMPP and openfire server,OpenFire server

  • 0

I am developing a chat app for iPhone using XMPP and openfire server,OpenFire server is storing all the chat history between users but When I try to retrieve the chat history for a particular user I get only the date and the number of chat messages but not the actual text messages

I have already installed open archive plugin for message archiving on openfire

This is the stanza which I have passed to Openfire Server 

    <iq type='get' id='pk1'>
    <list xmlns='urn:xmpp:archive'
    with='piyush@openfire'>
    <set xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm'>
    <max>30</max>
    </set>
    </list>
    </iq>

This is the result which I received from server

  <iq type="result" id="pk1" to="vivek@openfire/iphone">
  <list xmlns="urn:xmpp:archive">
  <chat with="piyush@openfire" start="2012-07-04T13:16:12.291Z"/>
  <chat with="piyush@openfire" start="2012-07-05T08:25:31.555Z"/>
  <chat with="piyush@openfire" start="2012-07-05T12:38:24.098Z"/>
  <set xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm">
  <first index="0">15</first>
  <last>25</last>
  <count>3</count>
  </set>
  </list>
  </iq>

This is the result which I want and which I expected

 <iq type='result' to='vivek@openfire/iphone' id='page1'>
 <chat xmlns='urn:xmpp:archive'
    with='piyush@openfire'
    start='2012-07-04T13:16:12.291Z'
    subject='She speaks!'
    version='4'>
<from secs='0'><body>Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?</body></from>
<to secs='11'><body>Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.</body></to>
.
[98 more messages]
.
<from secs='9'><body>How cam'st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?</body></from>
<set xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm'>
  <first index='0'>0</first>
  <last>99</last>
  <count>217</count>
</set>

Please Help me out to get the desired result

Thanks

    You have to do a request with <retrieve> (see http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html) then you can take a specific time from the received <list> result. For example:

    Send: 

        <iq type='get' id='pk1'>
       <list xmlns='urn:xmpp:archive'
               with='piyush@openfire'>
        <set xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm'>
            <max>30</max>
        </set>
      </list>
   </iq>

    Receive: 

     <iq type="result" id="pk1" to="vivek@openfire/iphone">
     <list xmlns="urn:xmpp:archive">
      <chat with="piyush@openfire" start="2012-07-04T13:16:12.291Z"/>
      <chat with="piyush@openfire" start="2012-07-05T08:25:31.555Z"/>
      <chat with="piyush@openfire" start="2012-07-05T12:38:24.098Z"/>
      <set xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm">
          <first index="0">15</first>
           <last>25</last>
           <count>3</count>
      </set>
    </list>
 </iq>

    Now you choose one of starts and send (date and hour must be exacts):

      <iq type='get' id='pk1'>
    <retrieve xmlns='urn:xmpp:archive'
        with='piyush@openfire''
        start='2012-07-04T13:16:12.291Z'>
     <set xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm'>
       <max>100</max>
     </set>
    </retrieve>
 </iq>

    You will receive something like this (depends the max value -> max=30, bodies=30):

       <iq type='result' to='vivek@openfire/iphone' id='page1'>
      <chat xmlns='urn:xmpp:archive'
             with='piyush@openfire'
              start='2012-07-04T13:16:12.291Z'
            subject='She speaks!'
       version='4'>
         <from secs='0'><body>Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?</body></from>
         <to secs='11'><body>Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.</body></to>
          .
          [28 more messages]
          .
         <from secs='9'><body>How cam'st thou hither, tell me, and therefore?           </body>   
         </from>
      <set xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm'>
       <first index='0'>0</first>
       <last>29</last>
       <count></count>
     </set>
  <iq>
