NAME

       Net::Jabber::Log - Jabber Log Module

SYNOPSIS

	 Net::Jabber::Log is a companion to the Net::Jabber module.
	 It provides the user a simple interface to set and retrieve all
	 parts of a Jabber Log.

DESCRIPTION

	 To initialize the Log with a Jabber <log/> you must pass it the
	 XML::Parser Tree array.  For example:

	   my $log = new Net::Jabber::Log(@tree);

	 There has been a change from the old way of handling the callbacks.
	 You no longer have to do the above, a Net::Jabber::Log object is passed
	 to the callback function for the log:

	   use Net::Jabber;

	   sub log {
	     my ($Log) = @_;
	     .
	     .
	     .
	   }

	 You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available.

	 To create a new log to send to the server:

	   use Net::Jabber;

	   $Log = new Net::Jabber::Log();

	 Now you can call the creation functions below to populate the tag before
	 sending it.

	 For more information about the array format being passed to the CallBack
	 please read the Net::Jabber::Client documentation.

   Retrieval functions
	   $from       = $Log->GetFrom();
	   $fromJID    = $Log->GetFrom("jid");
	   $type       = $Log->GetType();
	   $data       = $Log->GetData();

	   $str        = $Log->GetXML();
	   @log        = $Log->GetTree();

   Creation functions
	   $Log->SetLog(type=>"error",
			from=>"users.jabber.org",
			data=>"The moon is full... I can't run anymore.");
	   $Log->SetFrom("foo.jabber.org");
	   $Log->SetType("warn");
	   $Log->SetData("I can't find a config file.  Using defaults.");

   Test functions
	   $test = $Log->DefinedFrom();
	   $test = $Log->DefinedType();

METHODS

   Retrieval functions
	 GetFrom()	-  returns either a string with the Jabber Identifier,
	 GetFrom("jid")    or a Net::Jabber::JID object for the person who
			   sent the <log/>.  To get the JID object set
			   the string to "jid", otherwise leave blank for the
			   text string.

	 GetType() - returns a string with the type <log/> this is.

	 GetData() - returns a string with the cdata of the <log/>.

	 GetXML() - returns the XML string that represents the <log/>.
		    This is used by the Send() function in Client.pm to send
		    this object as a Jabber Log.

	 GetTree() - returns an array that contains the <log/> tag
		     in XML::Parser Tree format.

   Creation functions
	 SetLog(from=>string|JID, - set multiple fields in the <log/>
		type=>string,	    at one time.  This is a cumulative
		data=>string)	    and over writing action.  If you set
				    the "from" attribute twice, the second
				    setting is what is used.  If you set
				    the type, and then set the data
				    then both will be in the <log/>
				    tag.  For valid settings read the
				    specific Set functions below.

	 SetFrom(string) - sets the from attribute.  You can either pass a string
	 SetFrom(JID)	   or a JID object.  They must be valid Jabber
			   Identifiers or the server will return an error log.
			   (ie.  jabber:bob@jabber.org/Silent Bob, etc...)

	 SetType(string) - sets the type attribute.  Valid settings are:

			   notice     general logging
			   warn       warning
			   alert      critical error (can still run but not
				      correctly)
			   error      fatal error (cannot run anymore)

	 SetData(string) - sets the cdata of the <log/>.

   Test functions
	 DefinedFrom() - returns 1 if the from attribute is defined in the
			 <log/>, 0 otherwise.

	 DefinedType() - returns 1 if the type attribute is defined in the
			 <log/>, 0 otherwise.
