The im message handler

imRobotId - Required imRobotId. The value of this field must match a imrobot id
filterExpression - Optional filter expression. If filterExpression is provided, then chatroom messages will be filtered via given regular expression. If match, then the handleChatRoomMessage method will be called. If not matched, then the received message will be ignored.
class - The class of the message handler instance to create. Must implement org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.IIMMessageHandler.

Examples:


   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.imMessageHandler">
      <handler
            imrobotid="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.imbot.defaultbot"
            class="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.imbot.DefaultIMMessageHandler">
      </handler>
   </extension>

Note that the given imrobotid=org.eclipse.ecf.presence.imbot.defaultbot must be previously defined via the imrobot extension point. Here is an example:


   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.imRobot">
      <imRobot
            connectID="slewis@ecf.eclipse.org"
            containerFactoryName="ecf.xmpp.smack"
            id="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.imbot.defaultbot"/>
      </imRobot>
   </extension>

API Information:

The class implementation provided in extension point must implement the following interface:


public interface IIMMessageHandler extends IContainerAdvisor {

 /**
  * This method is called when a {@link IChatMessage} is received.
  * 
  * @param message
  *            the {@link IChatMessage} received. Will not be
  *            <code>null</code>. Implementers should not block the
  *            calling thread. Any methods on the given <code>message</code>
  *            parameter may be called.
  */
 public void handleIMMessage(IChatMessage message);

}
