XMPPFramework - How to get currently logged-in user's display name

Question

In my application utilizing XMPPFramework, I have a login page to authenticate one user. Once logged in, I wish to show the displayName of the user in my status page. The displayName is a NSString in XMPPUserCoreDataStorageObject.

The following line returns me the XMPPJID of my currently logged-in user. I thought this would be useful to check against my roster to get his displayName.

[[[self appDelegate] xmppStream] myJID];

However, placing the above in the code below returns me a null.

XMPPUserCoreDataStorageObject *user = [[[self appDelegate] xmppRosterStorage]
                                           userForJID:[[[self appDelegate] xmppStream] myJID]
                                           xmppStream:[[self appDelegate] xmppStream]
                                           managedObjectContext:[[self appDelegate] managedObjectContext_roster]];

Appreciate any advice on how to go about retrieving the displayName of the current user.

Answer 1

As vitalyster mentioned in the comment above, there is no way to retrieve my own display name if I am logged in.

To verify that, I went to my Openfire server settings.

In Users/Groups > User Summary > KeithOYS > Roster, there is no same user called KeithOYS in the roster list.

Same concept applies for every other users.

In a nutshell, every user has all other users in their Roster (as long as they are classified under the same Group), all except himself.
