The `Stream' and the `Connection' modules/concepts has been quite
similar and, in some ways, overlapping. The `Stream' and `Connection'
modules allow for direct access to the XML stream. The `Stream' module
exported an API for opening, restarting, and closing the stream. The
`Connection' module, on the other hand, allowed for pushing and
pulling elements and stanzas to and from the stream. Furthermore, the
`Connection' type was used in both the `Connection' module and the
higher-level `Stream' module.
This patch joins the two modules into one `Stream' module, and renames
the `Connection' type to `Stream'. It also renames most other
connection-related functions and types. Also, `connect' is renamed
`openStream' and `closeStreams' is renamed `closeStream' (the stream
is `bidirectional' in RFC 6120 terminology).
We can treat all functions related to SASL negotiation as a submodule
to Pontarius XMPP if there are no dependencies from the internal
Network.Xmpp modules to the SASL functionality. Because of this,
`auth' and `authSimple' were moved from Session.hs to Sasl.hs. As the
bind and the `{urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-session}session'
functionality are related only to the SASL negotation functionality,
these functions has been moved to the SASL submodule as well.
As these changes only leaves `connect' in the Session module, it seems
fitting to move `connect' to Network.Xmpp.Stream (not
Network.Xmpp.Connection, as `connect' depends on `startStream').
The internal Network.Xmpp modules (Connection.hs) no longer depend on
the Concurrent submodule. This will decrease the coupling between
Network.Xmpp and the concurrent implementation, making it easier for
developers to replace the concurrent implementation if they wanted to.
As Network.Xmpp.Connection is really a module that breaks the
encapsulation that is Network.Xmpp and the concurrent interface, I
have renamed it Network.Xmpp.Internal. As this frees up the
Network.Xmpp.Connection name, Network.Xmpp.Connection_ can reclaim it.
The high-level "utility" functions of Network.Xmpp.Utilities,
Network.Xmpp.Presence, and Network.Xmpp.Message has been moved to
Network.Xmpp.Utilities. This module contains functions that at most
only depend on the internal Network.Xmpp.Types module, and doesn't
belong in any other module.
The functionality of Jid.hs was moved to Types.hs.
Moved some of the functions of Network.Xmpp.Pickle to
Network.Xmpp.Marshal, and removed the Network.Xmpp.Pickle module.
A module imports diagram corresponding to the one of my last patch
shows the new module structure. I also include a diagram showing
the `Sasl' and `Concurrent' module imports.
In my ongoing "high-level analysis" of Pontarius XMPP, I've proceeded
to take a quick look at the module imports.
The diagram provided is limited in that it does not include the
concurrent implementation, the Sasl modules, the IM modules, the XEP
modules, the example modules, nor the test modules.
Also, Network.Xmpp really does not need Network.Xmpp.Marshal,
Network.Xmpp.Stream, Network.Xmpp.Bind, or Network.Xmpp.Connection_.
Network.Xmpp.Connection does not need Network.Xmpp.Stream either.
These imports, and some others, have been removed with this patch.
Note also that Network.Xmpp.Tls does not need Network.Xmpp.Pickle.
Some observations:
1. There are three simple "utility" modules that depends only on
Network.Xmpp.Types: Utilities, Presence, and Message. Utilities is
inaccessible (indicated by the red colour).
2. There are two exposed "base" modules, Network.Xmpp and
Network.Xmpp.Connection. The former does not need to access
Network.Xmpp.Connection_, while the latter does. Otherwise, they
both import the three modules: Session, Tls, and Types.
Network.Xmpp also import the "utility" modules
Network.Xmpp.Message, Network.Xmpp.Presence, and Network.Xmpp.Jid.
3. In Network.Xmpp.Session, if the `session' function is moved to the
concurrent implementation, we can get rid of a dependency towards
the concurrent implementation in the internal Network.Xmpp modules.
If we take it one step further and also remove the Sasl functions,
we can remove the need for Network.Xmpp to import this module (and
probably get rid of the module completely).
4. Data.Conduit.Tls is only accessed by Network.Xmpp.Tls.
5. Text.Xml.Stream.Elements is only accessed by Network.Xmpp.Stream,
Network.Xmpp.Connection_, and Network.Xmpp.Pickle.
6. Network.Xmpp.Types depends on Network.Xmpp.Jid (and re-exports it).
I'm assuming and defining the following:
1. XMPP failures (which can occur at the TCP, TLS, and XML/XMPP
layers (as a stream error or forbidden input)) are fatal; they will
distrupt the XMPP session.
2. All fatal failures should be thrown (or similar) by `session', or
any other function that might produce them.
3. Authentication failures that are not "XMPP failures" are not fatal.
They do not necessarily terminate the stream. For example, the
developer should be able to make another authentication attempt.
The `Session' object returned by `session' might be useful even if
the authentication fails.
4. We can (and should) use one single data type for fatal failures.
(Previously, both StreamFailure and TlsFailure was used.)
5. We can catch and rethrow/wrap IO exceptions in the context of the
Pontarius XMPP error system that we decide to use, making the error
system more intuitive, Haskell-like, and more straight-forward to
implement. Calling `error' may only be done in the case of a
program error (a bug).
6. A logging system will remove the need for many of the error types.
Only exceptions that seem likely to affect the flow of client
applications should be defined.
7. The authentication functions are prone to fatal XMPP failures in
addition to non-fatal authentication conditions. (Previously,
`AuthStreamFailure' was used to wrap these errors.)
I'm hereby suggesting (and implementing) the following:
`StreamFailure' and `TlsFailure' should be joined into `XmppFailure'.
`pullStanza' and the other Connection functions used to throw
`IOException', `StreamFailure' and `TlsFailure' exceptions. With this
patch, they have been converted to `StateT Connection IO (Either
XmppFailure a)' computations. They also catch (some) IOException
errors and wrap them in the new `XmppIOException' constructor.
`newSession' is now `IO (Either XmppFailure Session)' as well (being
capable of throwing IO exceptions).
Whether or not to continue to a) wrap `XmppFailure' failures in an
`AuthStreamFailure' equivalent, or, b) treat the authentication
functions just like the other functions that may result in failure
(Either XmppFailure a), depends on how Network.Xmpp.Connection.auth
will be used. Since the latter will make `auth' more consistent, as
well as remove the need for a wrapped (and special-case) "AuthFailure"
type, I have decided to give the "b" approach a try. (The drawback
being, of course, that authentication errors can not be accessed
through the use of ErrorT. Whether or not this might be a problem, I
don't really know at this point.) As the SASL code (and SaslM)
depended on `AuthStreamFailure', it remains for internal use, at least
for the time-being. `session' is now an ErrorT computation as well.
Some functions have been updated as hacks, but this will be changed if
we decide to move forward with this approach.
As mentioned in #pontarius, `Context' is simply a bunch of thread
management features, and users that want that can build their own on
top of the `Connection' layer. The benefit of hiding `Context' is that
it makes the API clearer, and significantly decreases the complexity
of the library.
As the `Basic' module is simply an interface to `Connection', it was
renamed to `Connection'. The old `Connection' module was moved to
`Connection_'.
Exported the types of the fields of `Connection' (such as
`ConnectionState' and `ConnectionHandle' (previously `HandleLike').
Drops the Connection newtype, and shows TMVar Connection instead.
Hides Connection from Network.Xmpp, as the vast majority of users will
not need to work with Connection directly. The related functions are
now instead available from Network.Xmpp.Basic.
Renames `simpleConnect' to `session', and makes it flexible in terms
of authentication and whether or not to use TLS.
Adds some minor documentation changes.
We will need to export some session related information (such as the
acquired resource, stream properties, etc.). We will also need to
expose any failures encountered, probably by making `session' an
ErrorT calculation.
Also removed the Errors module from the Cabal file.
Started using double quotes instead of single quotes on XMLDecl, to
conform to the quotations of the other XML.
To conform with the Haskell style guidelines, `TLS' is now spelled
`Tls', and `XML' is now spelled `Xml'.
Updated library name in README file.
StreamError has been renamed to StreamFailure, as it's neither an
error or an exception, and since the term "stream error" is ambigous
(it can also refer to the stream error element on the XMPP stream).
Furthermore, XmppTLSError has been renamed to TLSFailure.
The data types related to the above mentioned failures are now
exported.
We do no longer clutter the API with detailed error conditions such as
StreamNotStreamElement. These kinds of conditions are such rare
occurances, and details about them are better suited in the logging
system (to be implemented soon).
Stream failures can occur either when a `stream:error' first-level
XML element is encountered, or if something unexpected happens in the
stream. Currently, `StreamErrorFailure', `StreamEndFailure', and
`StreamOtherFailure' are defined for these purposes, but additional
exceptions can be added if that would be helpful for the developers.
TLSFailure is moved to Types.hs and is now exported.
Also temporarily removed findStreamErrors.
