This PR adds support for inline XEP-0198 stream resumption in the SASL2 authentication flow (XEP-0198 §9.2), allowing a client to resume an existing session in the same round trip as authentication.

The implementation (also) refactors the existing XEP-0198 resumption flow to make the resumption logic reusable from both the traditional and SASL2 flows. This includes separating request parsing and validation from response delivery, and ensuring that post-resumption state restoration occurs only after the client has been informed that the stream was successfully resumed and unacknowledged stanzas have been retransmitted.

One important detail is that the existing sasl2Successful() handling has been split into transport-independent post-authentication processing and transport-specific stream-feature delivery. This allows behaviour such as inline resumption to be applied consistently across transports without duplicating the authentication flow.

The commits in this PR were pulled apart by AI from what was originally one larger change. This was done intentionally to facilitate review and future maintenance by making the individual refactoring and functional changes more focused and easier to reason about.

This is, however, a new practice has not yet been proven successful. The commit boundaries should therefore be considered an experiment. In particular, reviewers should feel free to point out if the resulting decomposition makes the history harder to understand, review, or maintain rather than easier.

This PR is part of the larger effort to replace the monolithic change introduced in Openfire PR #3417 with smaller, more focused and maintainable changes.

With this PR, that effort is expected to be complete.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds XEP-0198 inline stream resumption during SASL2 authentication. The change adds resume-request parsing, validation, and SASL2 resume results. Stream management supports deferred reattachment and stanza redelivery. SASL2 embeds resume success or failure in its <success/> response. Stanza handlers adopt resumed sessions and suppress post-authentication features. Inline feature advertisement and tests were added.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d318e

Inline SASL2 stream resumption can abort authentication for an oversized acknowledgement instead of allowing Bind2 fallback, potentially preventing affected clients from connecting. This behavior should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge; namespace handling also retains a smaller test-coverage gap.

xmppserver/src/main/java/org/jivesoftware/openfire/net/SASLAuthentication.java:887

  • The tests added by this PR do not exercise this central integration path: none invokes processSasl2Resume, so the connection handoff, delivery of <success><resumed/>, acknowledgement processing/retransmission order, and skipping Bind2 are unverified. SASLAuthenticationTest already provides extensive branch-level coverage for the other SASL2 success paths; add corresponding successful-resume and failed-resume-with-Bind2 cases before relying on this flow.
                final Sasl2ResumeResult resumeResult = clientSession.getStreamManager().processSasl2Resume(resumeRequest);

Extracts the parsing of a <resume/> element into a ResumeRequest value object, and  the validation of a resumption attempt into a separate method that returns its outcome rather than writing a response. Neither is used by more than the existing, traditional resume flow yet; this is groundwork for inline (SASL2) resumption.

Behaviour is preserved, with one exception: a <resume/> element that carries no usable 'previd' attribute now results in a stream error rather than a <failed/> element. Such a client cannot resume in any case, and will reconnect without stream management.
…n told the stream resumed

LocalClientSession restores Client State Indication to 'active' when a stream is resumed (XEP-0352). CsiManager#activate() is not a flag flip: it drains the delay queue and pushes those stanzas to the connection synchronously. That must not happen until the resumption has been confirmed to the client and unacknowledged stanzas have been retransmitted, or those stanzas precede <resumed/> on the wire and are retransmitted a second time.

The hook is therefore invoked at the tail of each resumption flow rather than from the shared connection-transfer helper. This also introduces the SASL2 variants, which are not used until inline stream resumption is added, and splits StreamManager#onResume() so that building the <resumed/> element and retransmitting unacknowledged stanzas can be sequenced separately.
…ivery

Splits StanzaHandler#sasl2Successful() into the post-authentication step and the transport-specific delivery of the stream features that it emits. Only the latter is overridden by transports with different framing, which leaves the former free to gain behaviour that applies to every transport.

No functional change: sasl2Successful() delivers features exactly as before.
…w (XEP-0198 § 9.2)

Allows a client to nest a XEP-0198 <resume/> element in its SASL2 <authenticate/> element, resuming a pre-existing session in the same round trip as authentication. Support for this is advertised in the <inline/> element of the SASL2 stream feature, as the XEP requires; without that advertisement no client will attempt it.

A resume request is processed before any Bind2 request. When it succeeds, the <success/> carries <resumed/>, is delivered over the resumed session, no resource is bound, and no stream features follow. When it fails, the <success/> carries <failed/> and the client proceeds to (Bind2) resource binding as usual.

… down a live session

Closing the connection being superseded during a resumption hand-off (traditional or inline SASL2) previously disabled stream resumption (OF-2751) and, via an async close-listener race, could send unavailable presence to every joined MUC and remove the routing entry for a session that had just been successfully resumed.

NettyConnection#close(StreamError) now checks whether the session is already detached before disabling resumption: detachIfNeeded() always detaches before closing, so a detached session at close() time means this is a benign hand-off, not a genuine stream failure. The connectionis still closed with a 'conflict' StreamError, per XEP-0198 §5.

The session-close listener also now refuses to tear down a session that already has a different, live connection, as a backstop independent of the isDetached()/resume flags.

Also adds debug logging around formalClose(), reattachment, and the close-listener's decision state, to make this flow assertable from logs going forward.

I think this PR is an a reasonable state now. I ran manual tests (local server + Conversations client, network interruption, observed reconnect) three times against this version, comparing DEBUG/TRACE logs each time:

  1. Inline SASL2/BIND2/FAST resumption Confirmed: old connection closed with a real <conflict/> StreamError; Suppressing close for session ... fires (proves resume stayed true through the close); Reattach complete ...: resumable=true, detached=false logged explicitly; the close-listener backstop logs Ignoring stale close notification ... when the deferred notification arrives after reattach. No unavailable presence sent to any of the 5 joined MUC rooms, no routing-table churn, no does not have SM resume, no ERROR/unexpected WARN.

  2. Same scenario, SASL2 disabled server-side - exercises the traditional (non-inline) <resume/> path (processResume/reattach, not processSasl2Resume/reattachForSasl2), which shares detachIfNeeded()/reattachConnection() with the SASL2 path. Same outcome: real conflict StreamError sent, close suppressed, resumable=true confirmed, close-listener backstop fires, no MUC/routing damage, no errors.

The inline-resume branch of SASLAuthentication#authenticationSuccessful() had no coverage that actually drove it against a real target session.

Adds four tests, each constructing a real, authenticated, SM-resumable LocalClientSession and resuming it via a genuine ResumeRequest:

- successful resume delivers <success/>+<resumed/> on the new connection, not the superseded one
- successful resume suppresses an inlined Bind2 request entirely, per XEP-0198 § 9.2
- <success/> is delivered before any retransmission of stanzas left unacknowledged on the former stream
- a failed resume (streamID mismatch) falls through to Bind2, reporting <failed/> alongside a completed <bound/>, per XEP-0198 § 9.2.1
