HTTP Event Receiver

HTTP event receiver is an internal event receiver that comes with WSO2 products which is used to receive events in XML, JSON or Text formats via HTTP, HTTPS, and local transports. By default it uses the following URLs to retrieve events.

For super tenants:

http://localhost:9763/endpoints/<EVENT_RECEIVER_NAME> or

https://localhost:9443/endpoints/<EVENT_RECEIVER_NAME>

For other tenants:

http://localhost:9763/endpoints/t/<TENANT_DOMAIN>/<EVENT_RECEIVER_NAME> or

https://localhost:9443/endpoints/t/<TENANT_DOMAIN>/<EVENT_RECEIVER_NAME>

Creating a HTTP event receiver

For instructions on creating a HTTP event receiver, see Receiving Events .

Configuring adapter properties

Specify the Adapter Properties, when creating a HTTP event receiver using the management console as shown below.

HTTP input event adapter properties

After entering the transport type in adapter properties, select the Event Stream to which you want to map the incoming events, and the Message Format which you want to apply on the receiving events. Also, click Advanced to define custom input mappings based on the Message Format you selected. For more information on custom input mapping types, see Input Mapping Types.

You can also define the respective adapter properties of the event receiver based on the transport type within the <from> element of the event receiver configuration in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventreceivers/ directory as follows.

<eventReceiver name="HTTPInputEventAdapter" statistics="disable" trace="disable" xmlns="http://wso2.org/carbon/eventreceiver">
    <from eventAdapterType="http">
        <property name="transports">https</property>
    </from>
   ............................
</eventReceiver>

The above adapter properties are described below.
