<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>

<li>Pending further discussion: added but then removed change to allow notifications via IQ stanzas; removed but then retained batch publishing; removed but then retained SubIDs in subscription approvals.</li>
|
|
<li>Corrected a large number of reported errata.</li>
|
|
<li>Removed delete-any feature.</li>
|
|
<li>Added missing delete-items feature.</li>
|
|
<li>Added special value of "presence" for the pubsub#expire option to support temporary subscriptions.</li>
|
|
<li>Removed replyto and replyroom config options.</li>
|
|
<li>Removed multiple node discovery since it depended on the deprecated Service Discovery Publishing feature.</li>
|
|
<li>Defined "room" value for itemreply config option.</li>
|
|
<li>Added optional 'publisher' attribute to <item/> element.</li>
|
|
<li>Added optional <redirect/> child to <delete/> element.</li>
|
|
<li>Based redirects on URIs for consistency with RFC 6120 gone and redirect errors.</li>
|
|
<li>Clarified meaning of filtered notifications (they are based on NodeIDs, not payload namespaces).</li>
|
|
<li>Added pubsub-on-a-jid service discovery feature for explicit discovery that an IM and presence account also functions as a virtual pubsub service.</li>
|
|
<li>Added purge_offline node configuration option for purging the node when the relevant publisher goes offline, for use in certain extended presence applications.</li>
|
|
<li>Added item_expire node configuration option for automatically removing items after a certain number of seconds.</li>
|
|
<li>Added notification_type node configuration option for defining which value of the <message/> type attribute shall be used for notifications.</li>

|
<li>Clarified suggested rules for payload definitions.</li>
|
|
<li>Mentioned that singleton pattern can be enforced by setting max_items to 1.</li>
|
|
<li>Removed the notion of batch publishing because it makes information coherence and atom handling excessively difficult.</li>
|
|
<li>Added error handling for too-many-subscriptions to help prevent a certain denial of service attack.</li>
|
|
<li>Added process for retrieving default subscription configuration options for leaf nodes, by omitting the 'node' attribute on the <default/> element (also added the <default/> element to the schema for the http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub namespace, since it was missing).</li>
|
|
<li>Removed informational mapping of node meta-data to Dublin Core.</li>

<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
|
|
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
|
|
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
|
|
And by opposing end them?

<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.

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.

<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 (meta-data).</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.

<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>

|
|
<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>

<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>
|

<tr>
|
|
<td>Roster</td>
|

<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>
|
|
<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>

<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>Note: Node hierarchies and collection nodes are OPTIONAL. For details, refer to the <link url='#impl-semantics'>NodeID Semantics</link> and <link url='#collections'>Collection Nodes</link> sections of this document.</p>

<p>An entity may want to query the service to retrieve its affiliations for all nodes at the service, or query a specific node for its affiliation with that node. Support for this feature ("retrieve-affiliations") is RECOMMENDED.</p>
|
|
<p>In order to make the request of the service, the requesting entity includes an empty <affiliations/> element with no attributes.</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 blacklisting of entities that are not allowed to perform specific operations (such as subscribing or creating nodes).</p>

<section3 topic='Multiple Subscriptions' anchor='subscriber-subscribe-multi'>
|
|
<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 entity 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>

<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>

<section3 topic='Requesting All Items' anchor='subscriber-retrieve-requestall'>

<p>A service MAY allow entities to request the most recent N items by using the 'max_items' attribute. When max_items is used, implementations SHOULD return the N most recent (as opposed to the N oldest) items.

<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>

|
<p>Any entity that is allowed to publish items to a node (i.e., a publisher or an owner) may do so at any time by sending an IQ-set to the service containing a pubsub element with a <publish/> child.</p>
|
|
<p>The syntax is as follows:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The <publish/> element MUST possess a 'node' attribute, specifying the NodeID of the node.</li>
|
|
<li>Depending on the node configuration, the <publish/> element MAY contain no &ITEM; elements or one &ITEM; element. <note>The inclusion of more than one &ITEM; element is no longer allowed, given the removal of batch publishing from version 1.13 of this specification.</note> <note>It is not necessary for a publication request to include a payload or even an &ITEM; element in order to trigger an event notification. For example, the result of publishing to a transient, notification-only node will be an event notification that does not include even an &ITEM; element. However, for the sake of convenience we refer to the act of publication as "publishing an item" (rather than, say, "triggering an event notification") even though a publication request will not always contain an &ITEM; element.</note></li>
|
|
<li>The <item/> element provided by the publisher MAY possess an 'id' attribute, specifying a unique ItemID for the item. If an ItemID is not provided in the publish request, the pubsub service MUST generate one and MUST ensure that it is unique for that node.</li>

<p>If the pubsub service can successfully process the request, it MUST inform the publisher of success. If the publish request did not include an ItemID, the IQ-result SHOULD include an empty &ITEM; element that specifies the ItemID of the published item.</p>

|
|
<p>Note: If the publisher previously published an item with the same ItemID, successfully processing the request means that the service MUST overwrite the old item with the new item and then proceed as follows.</p>
|
|
<p>The pubsub service MUST then send one event notification to each entity that meets the criteria for receiving an event notification (typically to each approved subscriber, although there are other contexts in which an entity may receive an event notification as summarized under <link url='#impl-notify'>Notification Triggers</link>). Each &MESSAGE; stanza generated by a pubsub service SHOULD possess an 'id' attribute with a unique value so that the service can properly track any notification-related errors that may occur (see the <link url='#impl-bounce'>Handling Notification-Related Errors</link> section of this document). Depending on the node configuration, the event notification either will or will not contain the payload, as shown below.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: In order to facilitate authorization for item removal as described in the <link url='#publisher-delete'>Delete an Item from a Node</link> section of this document, implementations that support persistent items SHOULD store the item (if the node is so configured) and maintain a record of the publisher.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: If the service or node is configured so that there is a maximum number of items cached at the node and the maximum is reached when an item is published, the service MUST delete one of the existing items. It is RECOMMENDED for the service to follow the "first in, first out" rule and delete the oldest item. Depending on node configuration, deletion of an existing item MAY result in sending of a delete notification to the subscribers.</p>

<li>The requesting entity does not have sufficient privileges to publish.</li>

<li>The node does not support item publication.</li>
|

<li>The node does not exist.</li>

<li>The payload size exceeds a service-defined limit.</li>

<li>The item contains more than one payload element or the namespace of the root payload element does not match the configured namespace for the node.</li>
|
|
<li>The request does not match the node configuration.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>These error cases are described more fully in the following sections.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: If a publisher publishes an item with an Item ID and the ItemID matches that of an existing item, the pubsub service MUST NOT fail the publication but instead MUST overwrite the existing item and generate a new event notification (i.e., re-publication is equivalent to modification).</p>

<p>A pubsub service MAY automatically create a node when it receives a publish request sent to a node that does not exist (instead of returning an ¬found; error). When doing so, the service SHOULD apply the default node configuration. If a service supports this functionality, it MUST advertise that fact by including a feature of "http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#auto-create" in its disco#info responses.</p>

<section3 topic='Publishing Options' anchor='publisher-publish-options'>

<p>An entity may want to create a new node. Support for this feature ("create-nodes") is RECOMMENDED. However, a service MAY disallow creation of nodes based on the identity of the requesting entity, or MAY disallow node creation altogether (e.g., reserving that privilege to a service-wide administrator).</p>
|
|
<p>There are two ways to create a node:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Create a node with default configuration for the specified node type.</li>
|
|
<li>Create and configure a node simultaneously.</li>
|

<p>These methods, along with method-specific error conditions, are explained more fully in the following sections.</p>
|
|
<p>In addition to method-specific error conditions, there are several general reasons why the node creation request might fail:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The service does not support node creation.</li>
|
|
<li>Only entities that are registered with the service are allowed to create nodes but the requesting entity is not registered.</li>
|
|
<li>The requesting entity does not have sufficient privileges to create nodes.</li>
|

<li>The requested NodeID already exists.</li>

<p>Note: When a service successfully creates a node on behalf of the requesting entity, it MUST return an IQ result (in accordance with XMPP Core). If the node creation request did not specify a NodeID and the service supports creation of instant nodes, the service MUST specify the created NodeID in the IQ result. Similarly, if the node creation request specified a NodeID but the service modified the NodeID before creating the node, the service MUST also specify the modified node in the IQ result. In all other cases, the service MAY specify the NodeID in the IQ result but the node creator MUST NOT depend on receiving it from the service (since the node creator can determine which node was created by tracking the 'id' attribute that it specified for the IQ-set).</p>

<section3 topic='Create a Node With Default Configuration' anchor='owner-create-default'>
|
|
<p>As explained above, each node type has its own default configuration. By asking the service to create a node with default configuration, the node creator accepts the default configuration. If the service allows node configuration, the owner may reconfigure the node after creating the node (as described in the <link url='#owner-configure'>Configure a Node</link> section of this document). In addition, a service MAY allow entities to determine the default configuration options for a given node type before creating a node (as described in the <link url='#owner-default'>Request Default Node Configurations</link> section of this document).</p>
|
|
<p>In order to create a node with default configuration, the node creator can simply include an empty <create/> child element.</p>
|
|
<p>In the following example, the node creator requests a leaf node (the default type) with an open access model (assumed to be the default type for this service).</p>

<p>Note: The default setting for the 'pubsub#node_type' configuration field is "leaf".</p>

<p>In order to request an access model other than the default for the service, the node creator MUST include a Data Form in the node creation request that specifies a non-default value for the 'pubsub#access_model' field.</p>

<p>Note: The <configure/> element MUST follow the <create/> element and MUST NOT possess a 'node' attribute, since the value of the <create/> element's 'node' attribute specifies the desired NodeID; if any of these rules are violated, the service MUST return a &badrequest; error.</p>

<p>If no error occurs, the server MUST return a configuration form to the node owner, which SHOULD contain the current node configuration as the default values.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: The following example shows some of the possible configuration options that MAY be provided. If an implementation implements these features using the <strong>Data Forms</strong> protocol, that implementation MUST use the fields that are registered with the XMPP Registrar in association with the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub' namespace (a preliminary representation of those field variables is shown below and in the <link url='#registrar-formtypes-config'>pubsub#node_config FORM_TYPE</link> section of this document, but MUST NOT be construed as canonical, since the XMPP Registrar may standardize additional fields at a later date without changes to this document). An implementation MAY choose to specify different labels, values, and even field types, but MUST conform to the defined variable naming scheme.</p>

|
|
<p>There are several reasons why the node configuration request might fail:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The service does not support node configuration.</li>
|
|
<li>The requesting entity does not have sufficient privileges to configure the node.</li>
|
|
<li>The request did not specify a node.</li>
|
|
<li>The node has no configuration options.</li>
|
|
<li>The specified node does not exist.</li>

<p>These error cases are described more fully in the following sections.</p>

<section4 topic='Node Configuration Not Supported' anchor='owner-configure-error-notsupported'>

<p>If the service does not support node configuration, the service MUST return a &feature; error, specifying a pubsub-specific error condition of <unsupported/> and a feature of "config-node".</p>

<section1 topic='IM Account Integration' anchor='presence'>
|
|
<p>Publish-subscribe functionality can be integrated into existing instant messaging and presence services (see <cite>RFC 3921</cite>), such that each registered account functions as a virtual pubsub service (sometimes called "pubsub-on-a-JID"). In such deployments, the root pubsub node for each virtual pubsub service has the same address as the bare JID &BAREJID; of the account, which is typically associated with an IM user (e.g., <hamlet@denmark.lit>). Since an IM user typically has a roster of "buddies" and shares presence information with those buddies, the virtual pubsub service can use roster and presence information to provide some helpful shortcuts for subscribers, in particular the auto-subscribe and filtered-notifications features described in this section.</p>
|
|
<p class='box'>Note: PEP ties the receipt of PEP notifications to the subscriber's presence, but does not tie the generation of PEP notifications to the publisher's presence. If the publisher wishes to stop generating PEP events (or to generate an "empty" event as can be done for some PEP payloads) before ending its presence session, the publisher MUST direct its client to do so and MUST NOT depend on the PEP service to automatically "zero out" its PEP information when the PEP service receives unavailable presence from the publisher.</p>
|
|
<p>If an instant messaging and presence account is also a virtual pubsub service, service discovery information ("disco#info") responses from the bare JID of the account MUST include a feature of "http:/jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#pubsub-on-a-jid":</p>

|
|
<p>Note: Because the account owner's bare JID is the default destination address for any stanzas a client generates, clients often omit the "to" attribute on such stanzas; on this point, see <cite>RFC 6120</cite> and (with regard to rosters) <cite>RFC 6121</cite>.</p>
|
|
<section2 topic='Auto-Subscribe' anchor='auto-subscribe'>
|
|
<p>When a contact is affiliated with the account owner through sharing of XMPP presence, the "auto-subscribe" feature greatly simplifies the subscription process. In particular, support for the "auto-subscribe" has the following implications:</p>
|
|
<section3 topic='Account Owner' anchor='auto-subscribe-owner'>
|
|
<p>Because the account owner itself is implicitly subscribed to its own XMPP presence (e.g., each XMPP resource receives presence information from all of the account owner's resources), a service MUST consider the account owner to have a pubsub subscription to the account owner's root collection node with a subscription_type of "items" and a subscription_depth of "all". This is true for all access models.</p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='Presence Subscriber' anchor='auto-subscribe-contact'>
|
|
<p>If an entity (i.e., an IM contact) has an XMPP presence subscription to the account owner's bare JID &BAREJID;, a service MUST consider the contact to have a pubsub subscription to the account owner's root collection node with a subscription_type of "items" and a subscription_depth of "all" if:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The node has an access model of "open".</li>
|
|
<li>The node has an access model of "presence".</li>
|
|
<li>The node has an access model of "roster" and the contact is in the specified roster group.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>If the contact does not have permission to receive information from any of the account owner's particular nodes below the level of the root collection node (e.g., because a particular node has an access model of "roster" but the contact is not in the specified roster group), the service MUST NOT send notifications regarding that node to the contact and also MUST NOT return any errors to the contact regarding a potential implicit subscription to that node (e.g., the service MUST NOT return a pubsub subscription error to the contact when the contact sends presence to the account owner).</p>
|
|
<p>Note: When an IM contact has a subscription to the account owner's presence, the automated pubsub subscription MUST be based on the JID contained in the 'from' address of the presence subscription request, which for an IM contact will be a bare JID &BAREJID;.</p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='Presence Sharer' anchor='auto-subscribe-directed'>
|
|
<p>If the node has an open access model, the pubsub service SHOULD also consider an entity to be temporarily and implicitly subscribed to the node if the entity has sent presence to the account owner in the absence of a presence subscription. In this case, the subscription SHOULD be based on the 'from' address of the presence stanza, which will be a full JID &FULLJID;. When the service receives unavailable presence from the full JID, it MUST cancel the temporary subscription.</p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Filtered Notifications' anchor='filtered-notifications'>
|
|
<p>A contact might not want to receive notifications for all the nodes hosted at a user's virtual pubsub service. A contact SHOULD signal its preferences to the account owner's server by including <cite>XEP-0115</cite> information that specifies the NodeIDs for which the contact wishes to receive notifications (if any). This information is used by a pubsub service that supports the "filtered-notifications" feature to send notifications only from those NodeIDs that match the subscriber's preferences.</p>
|
|
<p>In order to make this possible, all possible NodeIDs can be appended with the string "+notify" to indicate that the contact wishes to receive notifications for the specified NodeID. Thus if Romeo wants to receive notifications for location data (&xep0080;) and tune data (&xep0118;) but not activity data (&xep0108;), his client would advertise support for the following strings in the disco#info results it sends: <note>Including, say, the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc' NodeID indicates that the client understands the geolocation namespace described in <cite>XEP-0080</cite>, whereas including the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc+notify' namespace indicates that the client wishes to receive notifications related to geolocation, where the NodeID is the same as the geolocation namespace 'http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc' (in this case there is a one-to-one correspondence between the namespace name and the NodeID).</note></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc+notify</li>
|
|
<li>http://jabber.org/protocol/tune+notify</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This set of strings would then be advertised by including them in the identity+features hash encapsulated via the 'ver' attribute as described in <cite>XEP-0115</cite>.</p>

<p>It is the responsibility of the account owner's server to cache <cite>XEP-0115</cite> information. When the server receives presence from a contact, it MUST check that presence information for entity capabilities data and correlate that data with the desired NodeIDs for the contact's client. The server MUST NOT send notifications related to any NodeIDs that the contact's client has not asked for via the relevant "NodeID+notify" disco#info feature. This enables a client to turn off all notifications (e.g., because of bandwidth restrictions) and to easily receive all desired data formats simply by adding support for the appropriate "NodeID+notify" combination in its disco#info results and client capabililies. However, it also implies that a client can request notifications only on a global basis and cannot request, say, mood information only from certain contacts in the user's roster. Community consensus is that this is an acceptable tradeoff. Also, note that this works only if the account owner has a presence subscription to the contact and the contact has a presence subscription to the account owner.</p>
|
|
<p>Some examples may help to illustrate the concept of notification filtering. Here we show presence generated by two of the contacts listed above (benvolio@montague.lit does not have any presence subscriptions to or from juliet@capulet.lit and therefore is not involved in these protocol flows).</p>

<section1 topic='Data Versioning' anchor='versioning'>
|
|
<p>A service MAY track the "version" of data published at a node, in the form of the version across all published items ("node-level versioning"), the version of each particular item ("item-level versioning"), or both. The version is tracked using the 'ver' attribute, which is included on the <items/> element for node-level versioning and on the <item/> element for item-level versioning.</p>
|
|
<p class='def'><strong>Definition:</strong> The <strong>'ver' attribute</strong> is a string that identifies a given version of the collective items published at a node, or of a particular item. The value of a node-level version identifier MUST be generated only by the service, MUST NOT be accepted by the service from a publisher. The value of an item-level version identifier MAY be accepted by a service from a publisher, but if not included SHOULD be generated by the service. Version identifiers MUST be treated by subscribers as opaque, but MAY have meaning to publishers. Any appropriate method can be used for generating version identifiers, such as a hash of the published data or a strictly-increasing sequence number.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: The value of the 'ver' attribute is conceptually equivalent to the 'ver' attribute from &xep0237;.</p>
|
|
<p>If a service supports data versioning, it MUST advertise a feature of "http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#versioning".</p>

<section2 topic='Notification Triggers' anchor='impl-notify'>
|
|
<p>There are many possible triggers for sending an event notification to an entity for the currently published item or the last published item, as summarized below:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The entity explicitly requests one or more items from the node and is authorized to retrieve items; when the service receives such a request, it sends the items to the entity.</li>
|
|
<li>The entity is an authorized subscriber to the node (explicitly via subscription or implicitly based on a role of owner or publisher); when the publisher sends a publish request, the service sends the currently published item to the entity (subject to presence checks and notification filtering if appropriate).</li>
|
|
<li>The entity is not subscribed but is eligible to do so and has sent presence containing appropriate entity capabilities data to a service that supports filtered notifications (effectively establishing a "temporary subscription" based on an expressed notification interest); when the service first receives such presence, it sends the last published item to the entity (sending it only once upon first receiving such presence, not on subsequent presence updates that contain the same notification interest).</li>
|
|
<li>The entity is not subscribed but is eligible to do so and has sent presence containing appropriate entity capabilities data to a service that supports filtered notifications (effectively establishing a "temporary subscription"); when the publisher sends a publish request that matches the entity's expressed notification interest, the service sends the currently published item to the entity.</li>
|
|
<li>The entity gains access to the node because of a change to the node access model; as a result, the service sends the last published item to the entity.</li>
|
|
<li>The entity is added to the roster group associated with a node access model of "roster"; as a result, the service sends the last published item to the entity.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|

<section2 topic='Intended Recipients for Notifications' anchor='impl-recipients'>
|
|
<p>When a pubsub service generates notifications, it MUST adhere to the delivery rules implicit in the subscription option configuration for each subscriber. In particular, the 'to' address SHOULD be that of the subscribed JID only. The service SHOULD NOT attempt to guess at the most available resource associated with the subscribed JID (e.g., in the context of instant messaging systems).</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
|
|
<section2 topic='Handling Notification-Related Errors' anchor='impl-bounce'>
|
|
<p>As noted above, a pubsub service SHOULD ensure that the &MESSAGE; stanza for each event notification it generates possesses an 'id' attribute with a value. (This notification ID is not to be confused with either the node ID or the item ID.) This ID MUST be unique within the context of the pubsub service in order to ensure proper tracking of any delivery-related errors.</p>
|
|
<p>Exactly how a service shall handle delivery-related errors is a matter of implementation. In general, such handling is effectively similar to the bounce processing performed by other message delivery systems, such as mail transfer agents and mailing list software. The following are some suggested guidelines regarding the handling of XMPP-specific error conditions in relation to pubsub event notifications (see <cite>RFC 3920</cite> and <cite>XEP-0086</cite> regarding XMPP error condition semantics):</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If the XMPP error is of type "cancel" (e.g., ¬found;), or the error condition is &gone;, the pubsub service SHOULD terminate the subscription of the entity to that node and MAY terminate the subscription of that entity to all nodes hosted at the service.</li>
|
|
<li>If the XMPP error is of type "auth" (e.g., ®istration;) or "wait" (e.g., &timeout;), or the error condition is &badrequest;, &redirect;, or ¬acceptable;, the pubsub service SHOULD increment a bounce counter for that entity and MAY attempt to resend the event notification after some configurable amount of time. The service MAY terminate the subscription of the entity to that node if the bounce counter has reached some configurable limit.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
|
|
<section2 topic='Temporary Subscriptions' anchor='impl-tempsub'>
|
|
<p>An implementation MAY enable an entity to subscribe to a node temporarily, i.e., only for as long as the subscriber is online in its current presence session. To subscribe temporarily, the subscriber MUST set the "pubsub#expire" subscription configuration option to a literal value of "presence".</p>

|
|
<p>The service will then automatically cancel the subscription when it receives presence of type "unavailable" from the subscriber.</p>
|
|
<p>An implementation MAY enable the node owner to force all subscriptions to be temporary, which is useful for nodes that are also configured to use presence-based delivery. This setting uses the "pubsub#tempsub" node configuration option set to a value of true.</p>

<section2 topic='Presence-Based Delivery of Events' anchor='impl-presence'>
|
|
<p>Implementations of pubsub MAY deliver event notifications only when the subscriber is online. In these cases, the option may be a node configuration option as shown in the examples above. To facilitate this, the pubsub service needs to subscribe to the subscriber's presence and check the subscriber's current presence information before sending any event notifications (as described in <cite>RFC 3921</cite>). Presence subscriptions MUST be based on the subscribed JID.</p>

<section2 topic='Not Routing Events to Offline Storage' anchor='impl-offline'>
|
|
<p>Sending events to users of existing XMPP servers may force event notifications to be routed to offline storage for later delivery (as described in &xep0160;). This may not always be desirable. The possible ways of preventing this behavior include:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Use presence-based subscription options as described above.</li>
|
|
<li>Use delivery semantics as defined by &xep0079;.</li>
|
|
<li>Specify a message type of "headline", which in most existing server implementations will prevent offline storage.</li>

<p>If a service understands the semantics for a particular payload type and an entity's subscription is so configured (by the "pubsub#include_body" subscription option to true), the service SHOULD include an appropriate XMPP &BODY; child element along with the payloads it sends in event notifications for a given node, where the body's XML character data summarizes or represents the information contained in the payload (this enables clients that do not understand the payload format to present the appropriate information to an end user). For example, the Atom <summary/> element (see <cite>RFC 4287</cite>) could be mapped to the XMPP &BODY; element. A service MUST NOT provide the "pubsub#include_body" subscription option for a node if it does not have a defined way to transform part or all of the payload format into a sensible message body. A node owner MAY define an XSLT for transforming the payload format into a message body, via the "pubsub#body_xslt" node configuration option. This XSLT is applied by the pubsub service after receiving a publish request and before sending the appropriate notifications, not by the client before sending a publish request.</p>
|
|
<p>If the service does not understand the semantics for a particular payload type and therefore cannot transform the payload into a human-readable message body, it SHOULD NOT include a <body/> child.</p>
|
|
<p>If a subscriber has multiple subscriptions to the same node, where some of the SubIDs have include_body set to true and others have include_body set to false, the service SHOULD include a body with all notifications.</p>

<section2 topic='Node ID and Item ID Uniqueness' anchor='impl-uniqueness'>
|
|
<p>NodeIDs MUST be treated as unique identifiers within the context of a particular pubsub service.</p>
|
|
<p>If item identifiers are used, they MUST be treated as unique within the scope of the node. The combination of the NodeID + ItemID MUST be unique within a given service, and MUST specify a single published item at a single node.</p>
|
|
<p>If a publisher publishes an item and the ItemID matches that of an existing item, the pubsub service MUST overwrite the existing item and generate a new event notification.</p>
|
|
<p>Because it is possible for a node's configuration to change such that ItemIDs are required (e.g., a change from transient to persistent), a service SHOULD use ItemIDs for internal tracking purposes even if it does not include them with the notifications it generates prior to the configuration change.</p>
|

</section2>

|
|
<section2 topic='Item Caching' anchor='impl-caching'>
|
|
<p>A service MAY cache the last item published to a node, even if the node is configured for transient publication (i.e., configured to not persist items). The last published item SHOULD be sent to new subscribers upon successful processing of a subscription request or approval by a node owner.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: Particular profiles of the generic publish-subscribe protocol MAY define more stringent requirements regarding the "cache-last-item" feature.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
|
|
<section2 topic='Batch Processing' anchor='impl-batch'>
|
|
<p>A publisher MAY include multiple &ITEM; elements in a publish request and MAY include multiple &ITEM; elements in a retract request. This results in "batch processing" of publications or retractions.</p>
|
|
<p>If the service cannot process any one of the items to be published or retracted, the entire batch MUST fail and the service MUST NOT publish or retract any of the items.</p>
|
|
<p>If a batch publish contains so many items that publication of all the items would exceed the maximum number of items for the node, the service MUST return a ¬allowed; error, which SHOULD also include a pubsub-specific error condition of <max-items-exceeded/>.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: Batch publication renders the concept of "last published item" problematic; therefore, if information coherence is needed, a publisher SHOULD publish items in separate requests rather than in batch mode.</p>

<section2 topic='Auto-Subscribing Owners and Publishers' anchor='impl-autosubscribe'>
|
|
<p>A service MUST allow owners and publishers to subscribe to a node, and to retrieve items from a node even if they are not subscribed. A service MAY auto-subscribe owners and publishers if they are not already subscribed, in which case it SHOULD generate a subscription ID if necessary for the subscription and SHOULD send a notification of successful subscription as described in the <link url='#impl-subchange'>Notification of Subscription State Changes</link> section of this document.</p>

<section2 topic='Authorizing Subscription Requests (Pending Subscribers)' anchor='impl-authorize'>
|
|
<p>How subscription requests are sent to node owners is a matter of implementation. Possibilities include:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Send requests to all owners (these may be placed in offline storage as described in <cite>XEP-0160</cite>) and first approval wins.</li>
|
|
<li>The service could subscribe to owner presence, and send only to the owners that are online.</li>
|
|
<li>All owners vote on the new subscriber.</li>
|
|
<li>Any owner is allowed to veto the subscriber.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>An implementation MAY use any of these methods, or some other method not defined herein.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
|
|
<section2 topic='Notification of Subscription State Changes' anchor='impl-subchange'>
|
|
<p>Various actions and events may result in changes to a subscription state:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>Approval or denial of a subscription request as described in the <link url='#owner-subreq'>Manage Subscription Requests</link> use case</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>Cancellation of an existing subscription, for which many "triggers" are possible:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The entity simply unsubscribes from the node</li>
|
|
<li>The node is of type "presence" and the underlying presence subscription is cancelled</li>
|
|
<li>The node is of type "roster" and the entity is moved to an unauthorized roster group</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>When a subscription state change occurs, a service SHOULD send a message to the (new, former, or denied) subscriber informing it of the change, where the message contains an <event/> element with a single <subscription/> child that specifies the node, JID, and subscription state. The notification MAY contain a &BODY; element specifying natural-language text regarding the subscription change. The JID to which the service sends the notification is the address that was set in the 'jid' attribute of the subscription request. Examples are shown below.</p>

<section2 topic='NodeID Semantics' anchor='impl-semantics'>
|
|
<p>NodeIDs MAY have semantic meaning in particular profiles, implementations, or deployments of pubsub. However, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that such semantic meaning not be used to encapsulate the hierarchical structure of nodes; instead, node hierarchy SHOULD be encapsulated using collections and their associated child nodes as described in <cite>XEP-0248</cite>.</p>

|
<section2 topic='Inclusion of SHIM Headers' anchor='impl-shim'>
|
|
<p>When SubIDs are used, <cite>Stanza Headers and Internet Metadata (SHIM)</cite> headers are to be included in order to differentiate notifications sent regarding a particular subscription. The relevant use cases and scenarios are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Sending notifications regarding newly-published items as described in the <link url='#publisher-publish'>Publish an Item to a Node</link> use case.</li>
|
|
<li>Sending notifications regarding deleted items as described in the <link url='#publisher-delete'>Delete an Item from a Node</link> use case.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The SHIM headers are generated by the node to which the subscriber has a subscription, which may be either a leaf node or a collection node (refer to <cite>XEP-0248</cite>).</p>
|
|
<p>SHIM headers are not to be included when the content does not differ based on subscription ID, e.g., when a node sends notification of a configuration change to the node itself, notification that the node has been purged, or notification that the node has been deleted.</p>

<section2 topic='Associating Events and Payloads with the Generating Entity' anchor='impl-association'>
|
|
<p>An implementation MAY enable the node configuration to specify an association between the event notification and the entity to which the published information pertains, but such a feature is OPTIONAL. Here are some possible examples:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>In the context of a geolocation notification service using &xep0080;, the user may generate the geolocation information or the information may be generated by an automated service (e.g., a service offered by a mobile telephony provider), but in either case the information is <em>about</em> the user's geolocation and therefore all replies should go to the user (who is probably the node owner).</li>
|
|
<li>In the context of a group weblog, different users might publish to the weblog and replies might go to the publisher of an entry rather than to the weblog owner.</li>
|
|
<li>In the context of an integrated pubsub and multi-user chat system, the node owner might be the room owner but all replies need to be sent to the room rather than to the owner.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Therefore we define the "itemreply" node configuration option, with two possible values:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>"owner" (i.e., the node owner or an alias for the node owners)</li>
|
|
<li>"publisher" (i.e., the item publisher)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>A node owner MUST NOT define more than one of these options.</p>
|
|
<p>An example is shown below.</p>
|
|
<example caption='Event notification with publisher JID'><![CDATA[

<section2 topic='Chaining' anchor='impl-chaining'>
|
|
<p>The word "chaining" refers to the practice of subscribing one node to another node. For instance, consider a scenario in which the node <pubsub@example.net/NewsBroadcaster> wants to distribute information received from the node "NewsFeed" at <pubsub.example.com>. While it is theoretically possible for <pubsub@example.net/NewsBroadcaster> to directly subscribe to the NewsFeed node (since the former node is directly addressable as a JID), implementations MUST NOT chain nodes in this fashion. Instead, implementations MUST subscribe from the address of the pubsub service rather than the node (in the example shown here, the subscription would be sent from <pubsub@example.net> rather than <pubsub@example.net/NewsBroadcaster>).</p>

<section2 topic='Time-Based Subscriptions (Leases)' anchor='impl-leases'>
|
|
<p>In some systems it may be desirable to provide a subscription "leasing" feature in order to expire old or stale subscriptions. Leases can be implemented using configurable subscription options; specifically, when an entity subscribes, the service would require configuration of subscription options and the configuration form would contain a field of "pubsub#expire". This field MUST contain a dateTime (as specified in &xep0082;).</p>

<p>The leasing process is shown below.</p>

<section2 topic='Content-Based Pubsub Systems' anchor='impl-content'>
|
|
<p>A service MAY enable entities to subscribe to nodes and apply a filter to notifications (e.g., keyword matching such as "send me all news entries from Slashdot that match the term 'XMPP'"). Such a content-based service SHOULD allow an entity to subscribe more than once to the same node and, if so, MUST use subscription identifiers (SubIDs) to distinguish between multiple subscriptions. In order to prevent collisions, a service that supports content-based subscriptions using SubIDs SHOULD generate SubIDs on behalf of subscribers rather than allowing subscribers to set their own SubIDs. <note>Another way to implement content-based subscriptions is to host one node per keyword or other filter; however, this is likely to require an extremely large number of nodes.</note></p>
|
|
<p>Content-based services SHOULD use subscription options to specify the filter(s) to be applied. Because there many possible filtering mechanisms (many of which may be application-specific), this document does not define any such method. However, filtering mechanisms may be defined in separate specifications.</p>

<section2 topic='Singleton Nodes' anchor='impl-singleton'>
|
|
<p>For some nodes, it is desirable to have at most one item associated with the node at any one time (for example, a client may want to store its preferences using a node name that is a namespace controlled by that client). When this pattern is desired, it is RECOMMENDED for the publisher to specify an ItemID of "current" to ensure that the publication of a new item will overwrite the existing item.</p>
|
|

<item id='current'/>
|
|
</publish>
|
|
</pubsub>
|
|
</iq>
|

|
|
<p>Naturally, the node owner can enforce the singleton node pattern by setting the max_items configuration option to "1".</p>

<section2 topic='PubSub URIs' anchor='impl-uri'>
|

<p>An XMPP URI (see &rfc5122;) can be used for the purpose of identification or interaction. Some examples are provided below.</p>

<p>The following URI merely identifies a pubsub node.</p>

<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
|
|
<section2 topic='Private Information' anchor='security-privacy'>
|
|
<p>The data published to a pubsub node might contain sensitive information (e.g., a user's geolocation). Therefore, node owners SHOULD exercise care in approving subscription requests. Security considerations regarding particular kinds of information are the responsibility of the "using protocol".</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Authorization' anchor='security-authorization'>
|
|
<p>XMPP PubSub contains a hierarchy of affiliations for the purpose of authorization and access control. A service MUST NOT allow non-owners or other unauthorized entities to complete any actions defined under the <link url='#owner'>Owner Use Cases</link> section of this document.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Access Models' anchor='security-access'>
|
|
<p>A service MUST adhere to the defined access model in determining whether to send event notifications or payloads to an entity, or allow an entity to retrieve items from a node. A service MAY enforce additional privacy and security policies when determining whether an entity is allowed to subscribe to a node or retrieve items from a node; however, any such policies shall be considered specific to an implementation or deployment and are out of scope for this document.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Presence Leaks' anchor='security-presence'>
|
|
<p>In the context of instant messaging systems it is possible for the act of publishing an item to reveal the node owner or item publisher's network availability. However, this risk is mitigated by the following factors:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>A node does not necessarily reveal the existence of the publishing entity.</li>
|
|
<li>XMPP PubSub systems are not necessarily tied to instant messaging systems.</li>
|
|
<li>Even in the context of IM systems, a node provides information distinct from network availability (e.g., user tunes).</li>
|
|
<li>Even then, the actual publisher might not be an IM user (e.g., an automated calendaring or geolocation system).</li>

<section2 topic='Field Standardization' anchor='registrar-formtypes'>
|
|
<p>XEP-0068 defines a process for standardizing the fields used within Data Forms scoped by a particular namespace, and the XMPP Registrar maintains a registry of such FORM_TYPES (see &FORMTYPES;). Within pubsub, there are four uses of such forms:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Authorization of subscriptions using the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#subscribe_authorization' namespace.</li>
|
|
<li>Configuration of subscription options using the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#subscribe_options' namespace.</li>
|
|
<li>Configuration of a node using the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#node_config' namespace.</li>
|
|
<li>Setting of metadata information using the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#meta-data' namespace.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>The registry submissions associated with these namespaces are defined below.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: There is no requirement that configuration fields need to be registered with the XMPP Registrar. However, as specified in Section 3.4 of <cite>XEP-0068</cite>, names of custom (unregistered) fields MUST begin with the characters "x-" if the form itself is scoped by a registered FORM_TYPE.</p>
