- <p>Approvers are clients that notify the user that new channels have
- been created by a contact, and allow the user to accept or reject
- those channels. The new channels are represented by a <tp:dbus-ref
- namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">ChannelDispatchOperation</tp:dbus-ref>
- object, which is passed to the
- <tp:member-ref>AddDispatchOperation</tp:member-ref> method.</p>
-
- <tp:rationale>
- <p>For instance, Empathy's tray icon, or the answer/reject window
- seen when a Maemo device receives a VoIP call, should be
- Approvers.</p>
- </tp:rationale>
-
- <p>Approvers can also select which channel handler will be used for the
- channel, for instance by offering the user a list of possible
- handlers rather than just an accept/reject choice.
- However, the Channel Dispatcher must be able to prioritize
- possible handlers on its own using some reasonable heuristic,
- probably based on user configuration.</p>
-
- <p>It is possible (and useful) to have an approver and
- a channel handler in the same process; this is particularly useful
- if a channel handler wants to claim responsibility for particular
- channels itself.</p>
-
- <p>All approvers are notified simultaneously. For instance, in a
- desktop system, there might be one approver that displays a
- notification-area icon, one that is part of a contact list
- window and highlights contacts there, and one that is part
- of a full-screen media player.</p>
-
- <p>Any approver can approve the handling of a channel dispatch operation
- with a particular channel handler by calling the <tp:dbus-ref
- namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatchOperation">HandleWith</tp:dbus-ref>
- method. Approvers can also attempt to <tp:dbus-ref
- namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatchOperation">Claim</tp:dbus-ref>
- channels; if this succeeds, the approver may handle the channels
- itself (if it is also a Handler), or close the channels in order to
- reject them.</p>
-
- <p>At the D-Bus level, there is no "reject" operation: approvers wishing
- to reject channels SHOULD call the Claim method, then (if it succeeds)
- close the channels in any way they see fit.</p>
-
- <p>The first approver to reply gets its decision acted on; any other
- approvers that reply at approximately the same time will get a D-Bus
- error, indicating that the channel has already been dealt with.</p>
-
- <p>Approvers should usually prompt the user and ask for
- confirmation, rather than dispatching the channel to a handler
- straight away.</p>
-
- <p>Non-interactive approvers can also be implemented as
- <tp:dbus-ref namespace="ofdT.Client">Observer</tp:dbus-ref>s as
- described in the interface description.</p>

- <p>A specification of the channels in which this approver is
- interested. The <tp:member-ref>AddDispatchOperation</tp:member-ref>
- method should be called by the channel dispatcher whenever at least
- one of the channels in a channel dispatch operation matches this
- description.</p>
-
- <p>This property works in exactly the same way as the
- <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Client.Observer.ObserverChannelFilter</tp:dbus-ref>
- property. In particular, it cannot change while the approver process
- continues to own the corresponding Client bus name.</p>
-
- <p>In the .client file, it is represented in the

- in which the approver has registered an interest is created,
- or when the approver starts up while such channel dispatch
- operations already exist.</p>
-
- <p>The channel dispatcher SHOULD call this method on all approvers
- at the same time. If an approver returns an error from this method,
- the approver is assumed to be faulty.</p>
-
- <p>If no approvers return from this method
- successfully (including situations where there are no matching
- approvers at all), the channel dispatcher SHOULD consider this
- to be an error, and recover by dispatching the channel to the
- most preferred handler.</p>
-
- <tp:rationale>
- Processes that aren't approvers (or don't at least ensure that there
- is some approver) probably shouldn't be making connections
- anyway, so there should always be at least one approver running.
