<title>Publish-Subscribe</title> |
|
<abstract>This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for generic publish-subscribe functionality. The protocol enables XMPP entities to create nodes (topics) at a pubsub service and publish information at those nodes; an event notification (with or without payload) is then broadcasted to all entities that have subscribed to the node. Pubsub therefore adheres to the classic Observer design pattern and can serve as the foundation for a wide variety of applications, including news feeds, content syndication, rich presence, geolocation, workflow systems, network management systems, and any other application that requires event notifications.</abstract> |

<section2 topic='Overview' anchor='intro-overview'> |
|
<p>The XMPP publish-subscribe extension defined in this document provides a framework for a wide variety of applications, including news feeds, content syndication, extended presence, geolocation, avatar management, shared bookmarks, auction and trading systems, workflow systems, network management systems, NNTP gateways, profile management, and any other application that requires event notifications.</p> |
|
<p>This technology uses the classic "publish-subscribe" or "observer" design pattern: a person or application publishes information, and an event notification (with or without payload) is broadcasted to all authorized subscribers. In general, the relationship between the publisher and subscriber is mediated by a service that receives publication requests, broadcasts event notifications to subscribers, and enables privileged entities to manage lists of people or applications that are authorized to publish or subscribe. The focal point for publication and subscription is a "node" to which publishers send data and from which subscribers receive event notifications. Nodes can also maintain a history of events and provide other services that supplement the pure pubsub model.</p> |
|
<p>This document defines a generic protocol that all pubsub applications can use. Compliant implementations are not required to implement all of the features defined here (see the <link url='#features'>Feature Summary</link>.) Other specifications may define "subsets" or "profiles" of publish-subscribe for use in specialized contexts, but such profiles are out of scope for this document.</p> |
|
</section2> |
|
<section2 topic='How It Works' anchor='intro-howitworks'> |
|
<p>Although this specification is large because it defines many side use cases and possible error flows, the basic idea is simple:</p> |
|
<ol> |
|
<li>An entity publishes information to a node at a publish-subscribe service.</li> |
|
<li>The pubsub service pushes an event notification to all entities that are authorized to learn about the published information.</li> |
|
</ol> |
|
<p>Perhaps the most popular application of pubsub-like functionality is content syndication, which has become familiar from the RSS and Atom (&rfc4287;) feeds associated with weblogs, news sites, and other frequently-updated information available on the Internet. Consider the example of a weblog published by <hamlet@denmark.lit>. When Hamlet writes a new weblog entry, his blogging software publishes the entry to a pubsub node hosted at <pubsub.shakespeare.lit>:</p> |
|
<example caption='Publisher Publishes a New Weblog Entry'><![CDATA[ |

To be, or not to be: that is the question: |
|
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer |
|

And by opposing end them? |

<p>Here is an even simpler example: a transient node that sends only event notifications without a payload:</p> |

|
<p>Naturally, the entities involved may need to complete other use cases in order to enable full pubsub functionality -- for example, the publisher may need to create the node (see <link url='#owner-create'>Create a Node</link>) and subscribers may need to sign up for event notifications (see <link url='#subscriber-subscribe'>Subscribe to a Node</link>). These use cases are fully described in the remainder of this document.

|
<di><dt>NodeID</dt><dd>The unique identifier for a node within the context of a pubsub service. The NodeID is either supplied by the node creator or generated by the pubsub service (if the node creator requests an Instant Node). The NodeID MAY have semantic meaning (e.g., in some systems or in pubsub profiles such as PEP the NodeID might be an XML namespace for the associated payload), but such meaning is OPTIONAL. If a document defines a given NodeID as unique within the realm of XMPP pubsub systems, it MUST specify the XML namespace of the associated payload.</dd></di> |

<di><dt>Open Access Model</dt><dd>A node access model under which any entity may subscribe and retrieve items without approval.</dd></di> |
|
<di><dt>Payload</dt><dd>The XML data that is contained within the <item/> element of a publication request or an event notification. A given payload is defined by an XML namespace and associated schema. A document that defines a payload format SHOULD specify whether the payload can be used only for a NodeID whose value is the same as the XML namespace, or whether the payload can be used for any NodeID. Such a document also SHOULD specify whether it is suggested that node at which such payloads are published are best configured as <link url='#impl-singleton'>Singleton Nodes</link>.</dd></di> |

<di><dt>Publish-Only</dt><dd>An entity that is allowed to publish items to a node but that is not allowed to receive notifications. (This affiliation is useful in the context of nodes that do not have an open access model when automated entities need to generate notifications on behalf of the owner.)</dd></di> |

<!-- =================== REQS ======================== --> |
|
<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='reqs'> |
|
<p>Requirements for a pubsub service can be driven by end-user needs as well as the needs of other components and services which can use the service. First, a pubsub service implemented using XMPP MUST provide the basic features that implement a pure publish-subscribe pattern:</p> |
|
<!-- ================== MUSTS =================== --> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>An entity MUST be able to publish events to a service such that all subscribers to a node receive notification of the event. See <link url='#publisher-publish'>Publish an Item to a Node</link>.</li> |
|
<li>An entity MUST be able to subscribe to a node (or be informed that subscription is not allowed). See <link url='#subscriber-subscribe'>Subscribe to a Node</link>.</li> |
|
<li>An entity MUST be allowed to be affiliated with a node. Allowable affiliations are member, none, outcast, owner, publish-only, and publisher. Implementations MUST support affiliations of none and owner, and MAY support affiliations of member, outcast, publisher, and publish-only. See <link url='#affiliations'>Affiliations</link>.</li> |
|
<li>An entity MUST be allowed to query the pubsub service (or a specific node) to determine what optional features of this specification the service (or node) implements. This query MUST use the Service Discovery (disco#info) protocol. See <link url='#entity-info'>Discover Node Information</link>.</li> |
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
<!-- =================== MAYS and SHOULDS =================== --> |
|
<p>Some of the possible uses of an XMPP-based pubsub service will require other features, but these features are OPTIONAL and therefore not mandatory for compliance with this specification. However, if these features are implemented, they MUST adhere to the protocol described herein in to be compliant. These features include:</p> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>A service MAY cache the last item published to a node (even if the "persistent-items" option is set to false); if it does default "cache-last-item" to true, it SHOULD send the last published item (or notification thereof) to subscribed entities based on configuration of the "send_last_published_item" field.</li> |
|
<li>A node owner SHOULD be able to specify who may subscribe to a node.</li> |
|
<li>A node owner SHOULD be able to specify who may publish to a node.</li> |
|
<li>A node MAY be configured to deliver the published payload inside the event notification.</li> |
|
<li>A node MAY be configured to persist published items to some persistent storage mechanism.</li> |
|
<li>A node MAY be configured to persist only a limited number of items.</li> |
|
<li>A service MAY support collections as described in <cite>XEP-0248</cite>.</li> |
|
<li>A service or node MAY support extended service discovery information (metadata).</li> |
|
</ul> |

<section1 topic='Preliminaries' anchor='preliminaries'> |

<section2 topic='Affiliations' anchor='affiliations'> |
|
<p>To manage permissions, the protocol defined herein uses a hierarchy of affiliations, similiar to those introduced in &xep0045;.</p> |
|
<p>All affiliations MUST be based on a bare JID &BAREJID; instead of a full JID &FULLJID;.</p> |
|
<p>Support for the "owner" and "none" affiliations is REQUIRED. Support for all other affiliations is RECOMMENDED. For each non-required affiliation supported by an implementation, it SHOULD return a service discovery feature of "name-affiliation" where "name" is the name of the affiliation, such as "member", "outcast", or "publisher" (see the <link url='#features'>Feature Summary</link>). Particular kinds of pubsub services MAY enforce additional requirements (e.g., requiring support for a given non-required affiliation or for all affiliations).</p> |

<p>* Note: A service MAY allow any publisher to delete / purge any item once it has been published to that node instead of allowing only the original publisher to remove it. This behavior is NOT RECOMMENDED for the publish-only affiliation, which SHOULD be allowed to delete only items that the publish-only entity has published.</p> |
|
<p>The ways in which an entity changes its affiliation with a node are well-defined. Typically, action by an owner is required to make an affiliation state transition. Affiliation changes and their triggering actions are specified in the following table.</p> |

<section2 topic='Event Types' anchor='events'> |
|
<p>The requirements for the publish-subscribe protocol imply that there are two major dimensions along which we can measure events: persistent vs. transient, and pure event notification vs. inclusion of payload. An implementation SHOULD enable an owner to configure a node along both of these dimensions.</p> |
|
<p>No matter whether a node is configured for persistent or transient events, a service MAY cache the last item published to the node, in which case it SHOULD send that item to subscribers based on configuration of the "send_last_published_item" option (see the <link url='#impl-caching'>Item Caching</link> section of this document); if the service supports the "http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#last-published" feature then the value of this option MUST default to "on_sub_and_presence" (though the service SHOULD allow the node owner to override the default).</p> |
|
<p class='box'>Note: The "on_sub_and_presence" setting relates to the <em>subscriber's</em> presence, not the publisher's presence.</p> |
|
<p>A pubsub service MUST validate publish requests against the configuration of the node along both of these dimensions (see the <link url='#publisher-publish'>Publish An Item to a Node</link> section of this document for the relevant error conditions).</p> |
|
<p>The node configuration and desired event type determine whether an item must be provided by the publisher, whether the item includes a payload in the publish request or event notification, and whether an item ID is provided by the publisher or generated by the pubsub service. We can summarize the relevant rules as follows:</p> |
|
<table caption='Items, Payloads, and Item IDs'> |
|
<tr><th> </th><th>Notification-Only Node *</th><th>Payload-Included Node *</th></tr> |
|
<tr> |
|
<td><strong>Persistent Node **</strong></td> |

<td>Publish request MUST include an &ITEM; element, which MAY be empty or MAY contain a payload; even if publish request contains a payload, pubsub service MUST NOT include the payload in event notifications; if publish request did not include item ID, pubsub service MUST generate item ID</td> |
|
<td>Publish request MUST include an &ITEM; element, which SHOULD contain a payload; if publish request included a payload, event notifications MUST include the payload; if publish request did not include item ID, pubsub service MUST generate item ID</td> |

</tr> |

<tr> |
|
<td>Open</td> |
|
<td>Any entity may subscribe to the node (i.e., without the necessity for subscription approval) and any entity may retrieve items from the node (i.e., without being subscribed); this SHOULD be the default access model for generic pubsub services.</td> |
|
</tr> |
|
<tr> |
|
<td>Presence</td> |
|
<td>Any entity with a subscription of type "from" or "both" may subscribe to the node and retrieve items from the node; this access model applies mainly to instant messaging systems (see <cite>RFC 3921</cite>).</td> |
|
</tr> |
|
<tr> |
|
<td>Roster</td> |
|
<td>Any entity in the specified roster group(s) may subscribe to the node and retrieve items from the node; this access model applies mainly to instant messaging systems (see <cite>RFC 3921</cite>).</td> |
|
</tr> |
|
<tr> |
|
<td>Authorize</td> |
|
<td>The node owner must approve all subscription requests, and only subscribers may retrieve items from the node.</td> |
|
</tr> |
|
<tr> |
|
<td>Whitelist</td> |
|
<td>An entity may subscribe or retrieve items only if on a whitelist managed by the node owner. The node owner MUST automatically be on the whitelist. In order to add entities to the whitelist, the node owner SHOULD use the protocol specified in the <link url='#owner-affiliations'>Manage Affiliated Entities</link> section of this document, specifically by setting the affiliation to "member".</td> |
|
</tr> |
|
</table> |
|
<p>A generic publish-subscribe implementation SHOULD support all of the defined access models, although specialized publish-subscribe implementations MAY support only a subset of the access models. Which access models are provided in a particular deployment is a matter of service provisioning (e.g., some restricted deployments may wish to lock down permissions so that only the "authorize" and "whitelist" access models are provided, or even only the "whitelist" access model).</p> |
|
<p>A node creator or owner can override the default access model by specifying an appropriate value for the 'pubsub#access_model' configuration field (see the <link url='#owner-create'>Create a Node With Default Configuration</link> and <link url='#owner-configure'>Configure a Node</link> sections of this document).</p> |

|
<section2 topic='Addressing' anchor='addressing'> |
|
<p>If a pubsub node is addressable, it MUST be addressable either (1) as a JID or (2) as the combination of a JID and a node. <note>These nodes are equivalent to those used in <cite>XEP-0030: Service Discovery</cite>.</note></p> |
|
<section3 topic='JID' anchor='addressing-jid'> |
|
<p>If a pubsub node is addressable as a JID, the NodeID MUST be the resource identifier, and MUST NOT be specified by the "user" portion (node identifier) of the JID (e.g. "domain.tld/NodeID" and "user@domain.tld/NodeID" are allowed; "NodeID@domain.tld" is not allowed <note>This rule does not apply to the root collection node, if any.</note>). JID addressing SHOULD be used when interacting with a pubsub node using a protocol that does not support the node attribute. For example, when a service makes it possible for entities to subscribe to nodes via presence, it would address nodes as JIDs. If a pubsub node is addressable as a JID, the pubsub service MUST ensure that the NodeID conforms to the Resourceprep profile of Stringprep as described in <cite>RFC 3920</cite>.</p> |
|
<p>Consider the following example, in which the pubsub service is located at the hostname pubsub.shakespeare.lit.</p> |

<section3 topic='JID+NodeID' anchor='addressing-jidnode'> |
|
<p>If a pubsub node is addressable as a JID plus node, the NodeID MUST be the value of both the Service Discovery 'node' attribute and the pubsub 'node' attribute; i.e., for discovery purposes, a pubsub node is equivalent to a Service Discovery node. If a pubsub node is addressable as a JID plus node, the pubsub service SHOULD ensure that the NodeID conforms to the Resourceprep profile of Stringprep as described in <cite>RFC 3920</cite>.</p> |

<section2 topic='Discover Nodes' anchor='entity-nodes'> |

<p>If a service implements a hierarchy of nodes (by means of <link url='#collections'>Collection Nodes</link>), it MUST also enable entities to discover the nodes in that hierarchy by means of the <strong>Service Discovery</strong> protocol, subject to the recommendations in <cite>XEP-0030</cite> regarding large result sets (for which &xep0055; or some other protocol SHOULD be used). The following examples show the use of service discovery in discovering the nodes available at a hierarchical pubsub service.</p> |

|
|
|
<p>This section defines the use cases for and protocols to be used by potential and actual subscribers. (Note: The <link url='#impl'>Implementation Notes</link> section of this document describes many important factors and business rules which a pubsub service MUST observe. In addition, the examples throughout assume the existence of a separate pubsub component and include any relevant 'from' addresses as stamped by a server or network edge.)</p> |

<section2 topic='Subscribe to a Node' anchor='subscriber-subscribe'> |
|
<section3 topic='Request' anchor='subscriber-subscribe-request'> |
|
<p>When an XMPP entity wishes to subscribe to a node, it sends a subscription request to the pubsub service. The subscription request is an IQ-set where the <pubsub/> element contains one and only one <subscribe/> element. The <subscribe/> element SHOULD possess a 'node' attribute specifying the node to which the entity wishes to subscribe. The <subscribe/> element MUST also possess a 'jid' attribute specifying the exact XMPP address to be used as the subscribed JID -- often a bare JID &BAREJID; or full JID &FULLJID;.</p> |
|
<p>Here is an example of a subscription request.</p> |

<section3 topic='Error Cases' anchor='subscriber-subscribe-error'> |
|
<p>There are several reasons why the subscription request might fail:</p> |
|
<ol> |
|
<li>The bare JID portions of the JIDs do not match.</li> |
|
<li>The node has an access model of "presence" and the requesting entity is not subscribed to the owner's presence.</li> |
|
<li>The node has an access model of "roster" and the requesting entity is not in one of the authorized roster groups.</li> |
|
<li>The node has an access model of "whitelist" and the requesting entity is not on the whitelist.</li> |
|
<li>The service requires payment for subscriptions to the node.</li> |
|
<li>The requesting entity is anonymous and the service does not allow anonymous entities to subscribe.</li> |
|
<li>The requesting entity has a pending subscription.</li> |
|
<li>The requesting entity is blocked from subscribing (e.g., because having an affiliation of outcast).</li> |
|
<li>The requesting entity has attempted to establish too many subscriptions.</li> |
|
<li>The node does not support subscriptions.</li> |
|
<li>The node has moved.</li> |
|
<li>The node does not exist.</li> |
|
</ol> |
|
<p>These error cases are described more fully in the following sections.</p> |
|
<section4 topic='JIDs Do Not Match' anchor='subscriber-subscribe-error-nomatch'> |
|
<p>If the specified JID is a bare JID or full JID, the service MUST at a minimum check the bare JID portion against the bare JID portion of the 'from' attribute on the received IQ request to make sure that the requesting entity has the same identity as the JID which is being requested to be added to the subscriber list.</p> |
|
<p>If the bare JID portions of the JIDs do not match as described above and the requesting entity does not have some kind of admin or proxy privilege as defined by the implementation, the service MUST return a &badrequest; error, which SHOULD also include a pubsub-specific error condition of <invalid-jid/>.</p> |

|
<p>Note: An implementation MAY enable the service administrator to configure a list of entities that are excluded from this check; those entities may be considered "trusted proxies" that are allowed to subscribe on behalf of other entities. In the same way, implementations MAY enable listing of entities that are not allowed to perform specific operations (such as subscribing or creating nodes).</p> |

|
<p>An entity may wish to subscribe using different subscription options, which it can do by subscribing multiple times to the same node. Support for this feature ("multi-subscribe") is OPTIONAL.</p> |
|
<p>If multiple subscriptions for the same JID are allowed, the service MUST use the 'subid' attribute to differentiate between subscriptions for the same entity (therefore the SubID MUST be unique for each node+JID combination and the SubID MUST be present on the <subscription/> element any time it is sent to the subscriber). It is NOT RECOMMENDED for clients to generate SubIDs, since collisions might result; therefore a service SHOULD generate the SubID on behalf of the subscriber and MAY overwrite SubIDs if they are provided by subscribers. If the service does not allow multiple subscriptions for the same entity and it receives an additional subscription request, the service MUST return the current subscription state (as if the subscription was just approved).</p> |
|
<p>When the pubsub service generates event notifications, it SHOULD send only one event notification to an entity that has multiple subscriptions, rather than one event notification for each subscription. By "entity" here is meant the JID specified for the subscription, whether bare JID or full JID; however, if the same bare JID has multiple subscriptions but those subscriptions are for different full JIDs (e.g., one subscription for user@domain.tld./foo and another subscription for user@domain.tld/bar), the service MUST treat those as separate JIDs for the purpose of generating event notifications.</p> |
|
</section3> |
|
<section3 topic='Receiving the Last Published Item' anchor='subscriber-subscribe-last'> |
|
<p>When a subscription request is successfully processed, the service MAY send the last published item to the new subscriber. The message containing this item SHOULD be stamped with extended information qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:delay' namespace (see &xep0203;) to indicate it is sent with delayed delivery. (Note that in this example the event notification is sent to the bare JID since that is the subscribed JID.)</p> |

<p>As noted, if a service supports subscription options, an entity MAY subscribe and provide the subscription options in the same stanza.</p> |
|
<p>Note: The <options/> element MUST follow the <subscribe/> element and MUST NOT possess a 'node' attribute or 'jid' attribute, since the value of the <subscribe/> element's 'node' attribute specifies the desired NodeID and the value of the <subscribe/> element's 'jid' attribute specifies the subscriber's JID; if any of these rules are violated, the service MUST return a &badrequest; error.</p> |

<section2 topic='Retrieve Items from a Node' anchor='subscriber-retrieve'> |
|
<p>Implementations of pubsub that choose to persist items MAY allow entities to request existing items from a node (e.g., an entity may wish to do this after successfully subscribing in order to receive all the items in the publishing history for the node).</p> |
|
<section3 topic='Permissions' anchor='subscriber-retrieve-perms'> |
|
<p>The service MUST conform to the node's access model in determining whether to return items to the entity that requests them. Specifically:</p> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li><p>If the access model is "open", the service SHOULD allow any entity (whether or not it is subscribed) to retrieve items.</p></li> |
|
<li><p>If the access model is "presence", the service SHOULD allow any entity that is subscribed to the owner's presence to retrieve items.</p></li> |
|
<li><p>If the access model is "roster", the service SHOULD allow any entity that is subscribed to the owner's presence and contained in the relevant roster group(s) to retrieve items.</p></li> |
|
<li><p>If the access model is "authorize" or "whitelist", the service MUST allow only subscribed entities to retrieve items.</p></li> |
|
</ul> |
|
<p>The only exception foreseen to the SHOULD requirements for the foregoing access models is the enforcement of local privacy and security policies as specified more fully in the <link url='#security'>Security Considerations</link> section of this document. (In addition, a service MUST always allow the node owner to retrieve items from a node and SHOULD always allow a publisher to do so.)</p> |

<p>A node may have a large number of items associated with it, in which case it may be problematic to return all of the items in response to an items request.

<summary> |
|
To be, or not to be: that is the question: |
|
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer |
|
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, |
|
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, |
|
And by opposing end them? |

<section3 topic='Error Cases' anchor='subscriber-retrieve-error'> |
|
<p>There are several reasons why the items retrieval request might fail:</p> |
|
<ol> |
|
<li>The requesting entity has multiple subscriptions to the node but does not specify a subscription ID.</li> |
|
<li>The requesting entity is subscribed but specifies an invalid subscription ID.</li> |
|
<li>The node does not return items to unsubscribed entities and the requesting entity is not subscribed.</li> |
|
<li>The service or node does not support persistent items and does not return the last published item.</li> |
|
<li>The service or node does not support item retrieval.</li> |
|
<li>The node has an access model of "presence" and the requesting entity is not subscribed to the owner's presence.</li> |
|
<li>The node has an access model of "roster" and the requesting entity is not in one of the authorized roster groups.</li> |
|
<li>The node has an access model of "whitelist" and the requesting entity is not on the whitelist.</li> |
|
<li>The service or node requires payment for item retrieval.</li> |
|
<li>The requesting entity is blocked from retrieving items from the node (e.g., because having an affiliation of outcast).</li> |
|
<li>The node does not exist.</li> |
|
</ol> |
