Plugins may implement McpAccountStorage in order to provide account parameter storage backends to the AccountManager object.
To do so, the plugin must implement a GObject subclass that implements
McpAccountStorage, then return an instance of that subclass from
mcp_plugin_ref_nth_object()
.
Many methods take "the unique name of an account" as an argument.
In this plugin, that means the unique "tail" of the account's
object path, for instance "gabble/jabber/chris_40example_2ecom".
The account's full object path is obtained by prepending
TP_ACCOUNT_OBJECT_PATH_BASE
.
A complete implementation of this interface with all methods would look something like this:
Example 1.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 |
G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE (FooPlugin, foo_plugin, G_TYPE_OBJECT, G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (...); G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (MCP_TYPE_ACCOUNT_STORAGE, account_storage_iface_init)); /* ... */ static void account_storage_iface_init (McpAccountStorageIface *iface) { iface->priority = 0; iface->name = "foo"; iface->desc = "The FOO storage backend"; iface->provider = "im.telepathy.v1.MissionControl6.FooStorage"; iface->get = foo_plugin_get; iface->set = foo_plugin_get; iface->delete = foo_plugin_delete; iface->commit = foo_plugin_commit; iface->commit_one = foo_plugin_commit_one; iface->list = foo_plugin_list; iface->ready = foo_plugin_ready; iface->get_identifier = foo_plugin_get_identifier; iface->get_additional_info = foo_plugin_get_additional_info; iface->get_restrictions = foo_plugin_get_restrictions; iface->create = foo_plugin_create; iface->owns = foo_plugin_owns; iface->set_attribute = foo_plugin_set_attribute; iface->set_parameter = foo_plugin_set_parameter; } |
A single object can implement more than one interface; It is currently unlikely that you would find it useful to implement anything other than an account storage plugin in an account storage object, though.

An object implementing the account storage plugin interface.
gint mcp_account_storage_priority (const McpAccountStorage *storage
);
Gets the priority for this plugin.
Priorities currently run from MCP_ACCOUNT_STORAGE_PLUGIN_PRIO_DEFAULT (the default storage plugin priority) upwards. More-positive numbers are higher priority.
Plugins at a higher priority then MCP_ACCOUNT_STORAGE_PLUGIN_PRIO_KEYRING used to have the opportunity to "steal" passwords from the gnome keyring. It is no longer significant.
Plugins at a lower priority than the default plugin will never be asked to store any details, although they may still be asked to list them at startup time, and may asynchronously notify MC of accounts via the signals above.
When loading accounts at startup, plugins are consulted in order from lowest to highest, so that higher priority plugins may overrule settings from lower priority plugins.
Loading all the accounts is only done at startup, before the dbus name is claimed, and is therefore the only time plugins are allowed to indulge in blocking calls (indeed, they are expected to carry out this operation, and ONLY this operation, synchronously).
When values are being set, the plugins are invoked from highest priority to lowest, with the first plugin that claims a setting being assigned ownership, and all lower priority plugins being asked to delete the setting in question.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
Returns : |
the priority of this plugin |
gboolean mcp_account_storage_get (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,McpAccountManager *am
,const gchar *account
,const gchar *key
);
Get a value from the plugin's in-memory cache.
Before emitting this signal, the plugin must call
either mcp_account_manager_set_attribute()
,
mcp_account_manager_set_parameter()
,
or mcp_account_manager_set_value()
and (if appropriate)
mcp_account_manager_parameter_make_secret()
before returning from this method call.
Note that mcp_account_manager_set_parameter()
does not use the
"param-" prefix, even if called from this function.
If key
is NULL
the plugin should iterate through all attributes and
parameters, and push each of them into am
, as if this method had
been called once for each attribute or parameter. It must then return
TRUE
if any attributes or parameters were found, or FALSE
if it
was not responsible for account
.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
an McpAccountManager instance |
|
the unique name of the account |
|
the setting whose value we wish to fetch: either an attribute like "DisplayName", or "param-" plus a parameter like "account" |
Returns : |
TRUE if storage is responsible for account
|
gboolean mcp_account_storage_set (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const McpAccountManager *am
,const gchar *account
,const gchar *key
,const gchar *value
);
The plugin is expected to either quickly and synchronously
update its internal cache of values with value
, or to
decline to store the setting.
The plugin is not expected to write to its long term storage
at this point. It can expect Mission Control to call either
mcp_account_storage_commit()
or mcp_account_storage_commit_one()
after a short delay.
Plugins that implement mcp_storage_set_attribute()
and
mcp_account_storage_set_parameter()
can just return FALSE
here.
There is a default implementation, which just returns FALSE
.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
an McpAccountManager instance |
|
the unique name of the account |
|
the non-NULL setting whose value we wish to store: either an
attribute like "DisplayName", or "param-" plus a parameter like "account" |
|
a value to associate with key , escaped as if for a GKeyFile
|
Returns : |
TRUE if the attribute was claimed, FALSE otherwise |
gchar * mcp_account_storage_create (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const McpAccountManager *am
,const gchar *manager
,const gchar *protocol
,const gchar *identification
,GError **error
);
Inform the plugin that a new account is being created. manager
, protocol
and identification
are given to help determining the account's unique name,
but does not need to be stored on the account yet, mcp_account_storage_set()
and mcp_account_storage_commit()
will be called later.
It is recommended to use mcp_account_manager_get_unique_name()
to create the
unique name, but it's not mandatory. One could base the unique name on an
internal storage identifier, prefixed with the provider's name
(e.g. goa__1234).
"created" signal should not be emitted for this account,
not even when mcp_account_storage_commit()
will be called.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
an object which can be used to call back into the account manager |
|
the name of the manager |
|
the name of the protocol |
|
a normalized form of the account name, or "account" if nothing is suitable (e.g. for telepathy-salut) |
|
a GError to fill |
Returns : |
the newly allocated account name, which should
be freed once the caller is done with it, or NULL if that couldn't
be done. [transfer full]
|
gboolean mcp_account_storage_delete (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const McpAccountManager *am
,const gchar *account
,const gchar *key
);
The plugin is expected to remove the setting for key
from its
internal cache and to remember that its state has changed, so
that it can delete said setting from its long term storage if
its long term storage method makes this necessary.
If key
is NULL
, the plugin should forget all its settings for
account
,and remember to delete the entire account from its storage later.
The plugin is not expected to update its long term storage at this point.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
an McpAccountManager instance |
|
the unique name of the account |
|
the setting whose value we wish to store - either an
attribute like "DisplayName", or "param-" plus a parameter like
"account" - or NULL to delete the entire account. [allow-none]
|
Returns : |
TRUE if the setting or settings are not
the plugin's cache after this operation, FALSE otherwise.
This is very unlikely to ever be FALSE , as a plugin is always
expected to be able to manipulate its own cache. |
void mcp_account_storage_ready (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const McpAccountManager *am
);
Informs the plugin that it is now permitted to create new accounts, ie it can now fire its "created", "altered-one", "toggled" and "deleted" signals.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
an McpAccountManager instance |
gboolean mcp_account_storage_commit (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const McpAccountManager *am
);
The plugin is expected to write its cache to long term storage, deleting, adding or updating entries in said storage as needed.
This call is expected to return promptly, but the plugin is not required to have finished its commit operation when it returns, merely to have started the operation.
If the commit_one
method is implemented, it will be called preferentially
if only one account is to be committed. If the commit_one
method is
implemented but commit
is not, commit_one
will be called with
account_name
= NULL
to commit all accounts.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
an McpAccountManager instance |
Returns : |
TRUE if the commit process was started (but not necessarily
completed) successfully; FALSE if there was a problem that was immediately
obvious. |
gboolean mcp_account_storage_commit_one (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const McpAccountManager *am
,const gchar *account
);
The same as mcp_account_storage_commit()
, but only commit the given
account. This is optional to implement; the default implementation
is to call commit
.
If both mcp_account_storage_commit_one()
and mcp_account_storage_commit()
are implemented, Mission Control will never pass account
= NULL
to
this method.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
an McpAccountManager instance |
|
the unique suffix of an account's object path,
or NULL if all accounts are to be committed and
mcp_account_storage_commit() is unimplemented. [allow-none]
|
Returns : |
TRUE if the commit process was started (but not necessarily
completed) successfully; FALSE if there was a problem that was immediately
obvious. |
GList * mcp_account_storage_list (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const McpAccountManager *am
);
Load details of every account stored by this plugin into an in-memory cache so that it can respond to requests promptly.
This method is called only at initialisation time, before the dbus name has been claimed, and is the only one permitted to block.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
an McpAccountManager instance |
Returns : |
a list of account names that
the plugin has settings for. The account names should be freed with
g_free() , and the list with g_list_free() , when the caller is done with
them. [element-type utf8][transfer full]
|
void mcp_account_storage_get_identifier (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const gchar *account
,GValue *identifier
);
Get the storage-specific identifier for this account. The type is variant, hence the GValue.
This method will only be called for the storage plugin that "owns" the account.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
the unique name of the account |
|
a zero-filled GValue whose type can be sent over D-Bus by dbus-glib, to hold the identifier. [out caller-allocates] |
GHashTable * mcp_account_storage_get_additional_info (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const gchar *account
);
Return additional storage-specific information about this account, which is made available on D-Bus but not otherwise interpreted by Mission Control.
This method will only be called for the storage plugin that "owns" the account.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
the unique name of the account |
Returns : |
additional storage-specific information. [transfer container][element-type utf8 GObject.Value] |
TpStorageRestrictionFlags mcp_account_storage_get_restrictions (const McpAccountStorage *storage
,const gchar *account
);
This method will only be called for the storage plugin that "owns" the account.
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
the unique name of the account |
Returns : |
a bitmask of TpStorageRestrictionFlags with the restrictions to
account storage. |
const gchar * mcp_account_storage_name (const McpAccountStorage *storage
);
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
Returns : |
the plugin's name (for logging etc) |
const gchar * mcp_account_storage_description (const McpAccountStorage *storage
);
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
Returns : |
the plugin's description (for logging etc) |
const gchar * mcp_account_storage_provider (const McpAccountStorage *storage
);
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
Returns : |
a D-Bus namespaced name for this plugin, or "" if none was provided in McpAccountStorageIface.provider. |
gboolean mcp_account_storage_owns (McpAccountStorage *storage
,McpAccountManager *am
,const gchar *account
);
Check whether account
is stored in storage
. The highest-priority
plugin for which this function returns TRUE
is considered to be
responsible for account
.
There is a default implementation, which calls mcp_account_storage_get()
for the well-known key "manager".
|
an McpAccountStorage instance |
|
an McpAccountManager instance |
|
the unique name (object-path tail) of an account |
Returns : |
TRUE if account is stored in storage
|

,McpAccountManager *am
,const gchar *account
,const gchar *attribute
,GVariant *value
,McpAttributeFlags flags
);
Store an attribute.
The plugin is expected to either quickly and synchronously
update its internal cache of values with value
, or to
decline to store the attribute.
The plugin is not expected to write to its long term storage at this point.
There is a default implementation, which just returns FALSE
.
Mission Control will call mcp_account_storage_set()
instead,
using a keyfile-escaped version of value
.

Store a parameter.
The plugin is expected to either quickly and synchronously
update its internal cache of values with value
, or to
decline to store the parameter.
The plugin is not expected to write to its long term storage at this point.
There is a default implementation, which just returns FALSE
.
Mission Control will call mcp_account_storage_set()
