Detailed Description

Base class for protocol implementations.

A Protocol is a D-Bus object that implements an IM protocol (for instance, jabber or msn). The BaseProtocol class provides an easy way to implement a Protocol D-Bus object, by providing the basic functionality itself and allowing you to extend it by setting the appropriate properties and callbacks.

A BaseProtocol instance cannot be registered by itself on the bus. You should add it to a BaseConnectionManager instance using BaseConnectionManager::addProtocol(). When the BaseConnectionManager is registered on the bus, all the BaseProtocol instances will also be registered.
