Receiving Custom XML Events via HTTP

Purpose

This application demonstrates how to configure WSO2 Streaming Integrator to receive events to the SweetProductionStream via HTTP transport in XML custom format and log the events in LowProductionAlertStream to the output console.

Executing the sample

  1. Start the Siddhi application by clicking on 'Run'.

  2. If the Siddhi application starts successfully, the following messages would be shown on the console.

    • Source Listener has created for url http://localhost:8006/productionStream
    • ReceiveHTTPInXMLFormatWithCustomMapping.siddhi - Started Successfully!

Testing the sample

Publish events with http sample client

Navigate to <SI-Tooling-Home>/samples/sample-clients/http-client and run ant command as follows:

ant -Dtype=xml -DcustomMapping=true

If you want to publish custom number of events, you need to run "ant" command as follows:

ant -Dtype=xml -DcustomMapping=true -DnoOfEventsToSend=5
Publish events with curl command
curl -X POST -d '<events><item><id>sugar</id><amount>300</amount></item></events>' http://localhost:8006/productionStream --header "Content-Type:application/xml"
Publish events with Postman
  1. Launch the 'Postman' application.
  2. Make a 'Post' request to 'http://localhost:8006/productionStream' endpoint. Set the Content-Type to 'application/xml' and set the request body in xml format as follows.
<events>
    <item>
        <id>sugar</id>
        <amount>200</amount>
    </item>
</events>

Notes

If you edit this application while it's running, stop the application -> Save -> Start. If the message Source Listener has created for url http://localhost:8006/productionStream does not appear,it could be due to the port 8006, defined in the Siddhi application is already being used by a different program. To resolve this issue, please do the following,

  • Stop this Siddhi application (Click 'Run' on menu bar -> 'Stop')
  • Change the port 8006 to an unused port, in this Siddhi application's source configuration.
  • Start the application and check whether the specified messages appear on the console

Viewing the results

See the output. Following message would be shown on the console.
