Jabber: x :expires for message expiration

Greetings. I need to insert an expire time (e.g. <x xmlns=“jabber : x : expires” seconds=’‘60’’ /> ) into packets I send. DefaultPacketExtension.addExtension() doesn’‘t seem to support attributes (does it??), so while I could use that for the namespace, I can’‘t put the “seconds” attribute thre. I also couldn’'t find any other methods (e.g. on packet, message, etc.) to set an expiration time for the whole thing. Any good ideas on how to do this? Am I missing something simple?

Thanks,

Rob

Rob,

Yes, DefaultPacketExtension doesn’‘t support attributes. I’'d recommend making your own packet extension class, maybe called Expiration that implements PacketExtension. You can then add it to the message.
