ChatManager (Babbler 0.9.1)

java.lang.Object
- rocks.xmpp.core.session.Manager
- - rocks.xmpp.im.chat.ChatManager

```
public final class ChatManager
extends Manager
```
This class manages one-to-one chat sessions, which are described in 5.1. One-to-One Chat Sessions and XEP-0201: Best Practices for Message Threads.
Creating a new chat session
```
 ChatSession chatSession = xmppSession.getManager(ChatManager.class).createChatSession(chatPartner);
 
```
Listen for new chat sessions

When a contact initiates a new chat session with you, you can listen for it with addChatSessionListener(Consumer). The listener will be called either if you created the session programmatically as shown above, or if it is created by a contact, i.e. because he or she sent you a chat message.

You should add a Chat.addInboundMessageListener(Consumer) to the chat session in order to listen for messages.
```
 xmppSession.getManager(ChatManager.class).addChatSessionListener(chatSessionEvent -> {
     ChatSession chatSession = chatSessionEvent.getChatSession();
     chatSession.addInboundMessageListener(e -> {
         Message message = e.getMessage();
     });
 });
 
```
