public interface PacketFilter
extends StanzaFilter

Defines a way to filter packets for particular attributes. Stanza(/Packet) filters are used when constructing stanza(/packet) listeners or collectors -- the filter defines what packets match the criteria of the collector or listener for further stanza(/packet) processing.

Several simple filters are pre-defined. These filters can be logically combined for more complex stanza(/packet) filtering by using the AndFilter and OrFilter filters. It's also possible to define your own filters by implementing this interface. The code example below creates a trivial filter for packets with a specific ID (real code should use StanzaIdFilter instead).

 // Use an anonymous inner class to define a stanza(/packet) filter that returns
 // all packets that have a stanza(/packet) ID of "RS145".
 PacketFilter myFilter = new PacketFilter() {
     public boolean accept(Packet packet) {
         return "RS145".equals(packet.getStanzaId());
     }
 };
 // Create a new stanza(/packet) collector using the filter we created.
 PacketCollector myCollector = packetReader.createPacketCollector(myFilter);
