Inheritance	PublicMessageRequest com.smartfoxserver.v2.requests.GenericMessageRequest

Sends a public chat message.

A public message is dispatched to all the users in the specified Room, including the message sender (this allows showing messages in the correct order in the application interface); the corresponding event is the publicMessage event. It is also possible to send an optional object together with the message: it can contain custom parameters useful to transmit, for example, additional informations related to the message, like the text font or color, or other formatting details.

In case the target Room is not specified, the message is sent in the last Room joined by the sender.

NOTE: the publicMessage event is dispatched if the Room is configured to allow public messaging only (see the RoomSettings.permissions parameter).
