  1. Log in to the management console, and click Main.
  2. Click Receivers in the Event menu, and then click Add Event Receiver.
  3. Enter a name for Event Receiver Name. (Do not use spaces between the words in the name of the event receiver.)

  4. Select the input transport from which you want to receive events for the  Input Event Adapter Type, and enter the Adapter Properties accordingly. For instructions on the adapter properties of input transport types, see Event Receiver Types.

  5. Select the Event Stream, to which you want to map the received events.

  6. Select the Message Format which you want to apply on the receiving events. WSO2 servers allow users to configure events in XML, JSON, Text, Map, and WSO2Event event formats.

  7. Click Advanced to define custom input mappings based on the message format you selected, if you are sending events that do not adhere to the default event formatsFor more information on custom input mapping types, see Input Mapping Types.
  8. Click Add Event Receiver, to create the event receiver in the system. When you click  OK  in the pop-up message on successful addition of the event receiver, you view it in the  Available Event Receivers  list as shown below.

  1. Create an XML file with the following event receiver configurations. An event receiver implementation must start with  <eventReceiver>  as the root element.

    Note

    In the following configuration, specify the respective adapter properties based on the transport type of the receiver within the <from> element. For the respective adapter properties of the event receiver configuration based on the transport type, see Event Receiver Types.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <eventReceiver name="EVENT-RECEIVER-NAME" statistics="disable" trace="disable" xmlns="http://wso2.org/carbon/eventreceiver">
        <from eventAdapterType="EVENT-ADAPTER-TYPE">
           .................................
        </from>
        <mapping customMapping="disable" type="xml"/>
        <to streamName="Test Stream" version="1.0.0"/>
    </eventReceiver>

    The properties of the above configuration are described below.

    Adapter propertyDescription
    name
    Name of the event receiver
    statistics

    type
    Type of the enabled custom mapping.
    streamName
    Name of the event stream to which the receiver is mapped.
  2.   Add the XML file to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventreceivers/ directory. Since hot deployment is supported in the product, you can simply add/remove event receiver configuration files to deploy/undeploy event receivers to/from the server.

...

After a receiver is successfully added, it gets added to the list of receivers displayed under  Event in the Main  menu of the product's management console. Click Edit    to change its configuration and redeploy it. This opens an XML-based editor allowing you to edit the event receiverr configurations from the UI. Do your modifications and click Update. You can also delete it, enable/disable statistics or enable/disable tracing on it using the provided options in the UI as described below.
