The Event-Driven Consumer EIP allows an application to automatically consume messages as they become available. For more information, refer to http://www.eaipatterns.com/EventDrivenConsumer.html.

Figure 1: Event-Driven Consumer EIP 

...

Before digging into implementation details, let's take a look at the relationship between the example scenario and the Event-Driven Consumer EIP by comparing their core components.

Environment setup

1. Download and install WSO2 ESB from http://wso2.com/products/enterprise-service-bus. For a list of prerequisites and step-by-step installation instructions, refer to Getting Started see the Installation Guide in the WSO2 ESB documentation.
2. Start two sample Axis2 server. For instructions, refer to see Setting Up the section  ESB Samples Setup - Starting Sample Back-End Servicesthe Axis2 server in the WSO2 ESB documentation.
3. Follow the steps below to create an event.
   
   • Start the ESB server and log into its management console UI (https: //localhost:9443/carbon ).
   • Select the Topics menu from the Main menu and then select the Add sub menu.
   • Enter EventConsumerTopic as the name for the topic, and then click Add Topic.
   • Click the newly created topic EventConsumerTopic in the topic browser tree and click Subscribe to create a static subscription.
     
   • Enter the value   http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService in the Event Sink URL field and click Subscribe.
     

ESB configuration

 In On the ESB's Management Console,  navigate to the Main menu and click Source View in the Service Bus section . Next, copy and paste the following configuration, which helps you explore the example scenario, to the source view.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
   <sequence name="fault">
      <log level="full">
         <property name="MESSAGE" value="Executing default &#34;fault&#34; sequence"/>
         <property name="ERROR_CODE" expression="get-property('ERROR_CODE')"/>
         <property name="ERROR_MESSAGE" expression="get-property('ERROR_MESSAGE')"/>
      </log>
      <drop/>
   </sequence>
   <sequence name="main">
      <log/>
      <event topic="EventConsumerTopic"/>
   </sequence>
</definitions>

Simulating the sample scenario

• Send a request using the Stock Quote client to the ESB as follows. For information about the Stock Quote client,

...

• see the Sample Clients section in the WSO2 ESB documentation.

  Code Block
  ant stockquote -Dtrpurl=http://localhost:8280 -Dsymbol=foo

  After sending the request, note that a message accepting the request

...

• is displayed on the Stock Quote service's console. This is triggered as an event when the message is published

...

• to EventConsumerTopic that you created earlier. All subscribers will receive the topic. 

How the implementation works

...

• event [line 13 in ESB config] - Allows you to define a set of subscribers that will to receive messages when the topic subscribed subscribes to receives a message. Also, see Eventing.
