In addition to the default publisher types, you can define your own custom publisher, which gives . This provides more flexibility to publish events that are sent to WSO2 products.  Since each Each event publisher implementation is an OSGI bundle. Therefore, you can easily deploy /undeploy it easily on the it as well as undo its deployment on a WSO2 product. To create a custom event publisher, import import the org.wso2.carbon.event.output.adaptor.core package with that contains the provided skeleton classes/interfaces required by a for the custom publisher implementation.

interface

The org.wso2.carbon.event.output.adapter.core   .OutputEventAdapter interface contains the event publisher event publisher logic that will be is used to publish to publish events. You should override the methods given below methods when implementing your own custom publisher.

  • void

...

  • init()

  • throws

...

  • OutputEventAdapterException

    This method is called when initiating the event publisher bundle. Relevant code segments

...

  • that are needed when loading OSGI bundle can be included in this method.

...

  •       void testConnect() throws TestConnectionNotSupportedException, ConnectionUnavailableException

    This method is used to test the connection of the publishing server.

  • void

...

  • connect()

...

  • throws

  • ConnectionUnavailableException

...

  • This method publishes events.

...

  • It throws the ConnectionUnavailableException if it cannot connect to the

...

  • backend.

  • void

...

  • disconnect()   

...

  • This method is called after the publishing is done, or when the ConnectionUnavailableException is thrown.

Implementing the OutputEventAdapterFactory

...

class

The org.wso2.carbon.event.output.adapter.core.OutputEventAdapterFactory class can be used as the factory to create your appropriate event event publisher type. You should override the methods given below methods when extending your own custom publisher.

  • public

...

  • String

...

  • getType()

    Here, the type needs to be specified

...

  • . This string is displayed in the publisher interface in the adapter type drop down list.

...

  • public

...

  • List<String>

...

  • getSupportedMessageFormats()

...

  • Here, the supported message formats for the created publisher type need to be specified.

  • public List<Property> getStaticPropertyList()

    Here static properties

...

  • need to be specified. These properties

...

...

  • public

...

  • abstract

...

  • List<Property>

...

  • getDynamicPropertyList()

    You can define dynamic properties similar to static properties

...

  • . The only difference is that dynamic property values can be derived

...

  • from events

...

  • handled by publisher. For more information on adapter properties

...

...

  • abstract

...

  • String

...

  • getUsageTips()

    Specify any hints to be displayed in the

...

  • Management Console.

  • public OutputEventAdapter createEventAdapter(OutputEventAdapterConfiguration eventAdapterConfiguration, Map<String, String> globalProperties)

    This method creates

...

  • the publisher by specifying event adapter configuration and global properties

...

  • that are common to

...

  • each adapter type.

Below The following is a sample Email Receiver publisher implementation of the the OutputEventAdapterFactory class:.

Code Block
public class EmailEventAdapterFactory extends OutputEventAdapterFactory {
    
	@Override
    public String getType() {
        return EmailEventAdapterConstants.ADAPTER_TYPE_EMAIL;
    }
    
	@Override
    public List<String> getSupportedMessageFormats() {
        List<String> supportedMessageFormats = new ArrayList<String>();
        supportedMessageFormats.add(MessageType.TEXT);
        supportedMessageFormats.add(MessageType.XML);
        supportedMessageFormats.add(MessageType.JSON);
        return supportedMessageFormats;
    }
    
	@Override
    public List<Property> getStaticPropertyList() {
        return null;
    }
    
	@Override
    public List<Property> getDynamicPropertyList() {
        List<Property> dynamicPropertyList = new ArrayList<Property>();
        // set email address
        Property emailAddress = new Property(EmailEventAdapterConstants.ADAPTER_MESSAGE_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
        emailAddress.setDisplayName(
                resourceBundle.getString(EmailEventAdapterConstants.ADAPTER_MESSAGE_EMAIL_ADDRESS));
        emailAddress.setRequired(true);
        emailAddress.setHint(resourceBundle.getString(EmailEventAdapterConstants.ADAPTER_MESSAGE_EMAIL_ADDRESS_HINT));
        // set email subject
        Property subject = new Property(EmailEventAdapterConstants.ADAPTER_MESSAGE_EMAIL_SUBJECT);
        subject.setDisplayName(
                resourceBundle.getString(EmailEventAdapterConstants.ADAPTER_MESSAGE_EMAIL_SUBJECT));
        subject.setRequired(true);
        //set format of the email
        Property format = new Property(EmailEventAdapterConstants.APAPTER_MESSAGE_EMAIL_TYPE);
        format.setDisplayName
                (resourceBundle.getString(EmailEventAdapterConstants.APAPTER_MESSAGE_EMAIL_TYPE));
        format.setRequired(false);
        format.setOptions(new String[]{EmailEventAdapterConstants.MAIL_TEXT_PLAIN, EmailEventAdapterConstants.MAIL_TEXT_HTML});
        format.setDefaultValue(EmailEventAdapterConstants.MAIL_TEXT_PLAIN);
        format.setHint(resourceBundle.getString(EmailEventAdapterConstants.ADAPTER_MESSAGE_EMAIL_TYPE_HINT));
        dynamicPropertyList.add(emailAddress);
        dynamicPropertyList.add(subject);
        dynamicPropertyList.add(format);
        return dynamicPropertyList;
    }
    
	@Override
    public String getUsageTips() {
        return null;
    }
    
	@Override
    public OutputEventAdapter createEventAdapter(OutputEventAdapterConfiguration eventAdapterConfiguration, Map<String,
            String> globalProperties) {
        return new EmailEventAdapter(eventAdapterConfiguration, globalProperties);
    }
}

Exposing

...

the custom event publisher as an OSGI

...

service  

Apart from the above, you can maintain a service class under the internal\ds\ directory to expose the custom event publisher implementation as an OSGI service. When exposing the service, it needs to expose as “OutputtEventAdaptorFactory” be exposed as a service of the OutputtEventAdaptorFactory type. Below The following is a sample implementation for of a service class for a custom defined publisher:.

Code Block
/**
 * @scr.component component.name="output.Email.AdapterService.component" immediate="true"
 */
public class EmailEventAdapterServiceDS {

    private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(EmailEventAdapterServiceDS.class);

    /**
     * initialize the email service here service here.
     *
     * @param context
     */
    protected void activate(ComponentContext context) {

        try {
            OutputEventAdapterFactory emailEventAdaptorFactory = new EmailEventAdapterFactory();
            context.getBundleContext().registerService(OutputEventAdapterFactory.class.getName(),
                    emailEventAdaptorFactory, null);
            if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
                log.debug("Successfully deployed the output Email event adaptor service");
            }
        } catch (RuntimeException e) {
            log.error("Can not create the output Email event adaptor service ", e);
        }
    }

}
Info

Furthermore you can have a utility directory as internel\util\ where you can place utility classes required for the custom publisher implementation.

...

  Deploying

...

the custom event publisher

Follow the procedure below to deploy a custom event publisher is very simple in WSO2 CEP 4.0.0. Simply implement .

  1. Implement the custom event publisher type

...

  1. .
  2. Build the project

...

  1. .
  2. Copy the

...

  1. OSGI bundle

...

  1. that is created inside the

...

  1. target

...

  1. directory into the <CEP_HOME>/repository/components/dropins directory.

...

When you start the CEP server startup, you can see the newly created event event publisher type service in the server service startup logs. The newly created custom event event publisher type will also be visible in the UI with necessary the relevant properties. Now you can create several instances of this event event publisher type.
