All Implemented Interfaces:
AuditLoggingComponent, SecureConnectorExtension, VirtualConnectorExtension, OMRSTopic, OpenMetadataTopicListener
public class OMRSTopicConnector extends ConnectorBase implements OMRSTopic, VirtualConnectorExtension, OpenMetadataTopicListener, AuditLoggingComponent
OMRSTopicConnector provides the support for the registration of OMRSTopicListeners and the distribution of OMRS events - both inbound and outbound.

The OMRSTopicConnector is a virtual connector. It uses one or more event bus connectors to interact with real event buses. These connectors are passed to it during initialization. During its operation, it acts as a go-between the event buses processing JSON payloads and internal open metadata components that expect to receive OMRS Events.

OMRSTopicConnector implements 3 interfaces:

  • OMRSTopic provides the methods for OMRSTopicListeners to register with this connector.
  • VirtualConnectorExtension declares this connector a virtual connector and provides the method for receiving the event bus connectors (embedded connectors).
  • OpenMetadataTopicListener enables this object to register with the real event bus connectors that implement OpenMetadataTopic.

      auditLog - audit log object

    • getConnectorComponentDescription

      public ComponentDescription getConnectorComponentDescription()
      Return the component description that is used by this connector in the audit log.
      Specified by:
      getConnectorComponentDescription in interface AuditLoggingComponent
      Returns:
      id, name, description, wiki page URL.

    • setEventProtocolLevel

      Specified by:
      setEventProtocolLevel in interface OMRSTopic
      Parameters:
      eventProtocolVersion - version enum

    • registerListener

      @Deprecated public void registerListener(OMRSTopicListener topicListener)
      Deprecated.
      Register an OMRSTopicListener object. This object will be supplied with all the OMRS events received on the topic.
      Specified by:
      registerListener in interface OMRSTopic
      Parameters:
      topicListener - object implementing the OMRSTopicListener interface

    • registerListener

      public void registerListener(OMRSTopicListener topicListener, String serviceName)
      Register a listener object. This object will be supplied with all the events received on the topic.
      Specified by:
      registerListener in interface OMRSTopic
      Parameters:
      topicListener - object implementing the OMRSTopicListener interface
      serviceName - name of the service that the listener is from

    • registerListener

      public void registerListener(OMRSTopicRepositoryEventListener topicListener, String serviceName)
      Register a listener object. This object will be supplied with all the events received on the topic.
      Specified by:
      registerListener in interface OMRSTopic
      Parameters:
      topicListener - object implementing the OMRSTopicRepositoryEventListener interface
      serviceName - name of the service that the listener is from

    • start

      public void start() throws ConnectorCheckedException
      Indicates that the connector is completely configured and can begin processing. OMRSTopicConnector needs to pass on the start() to its embedded connectors.
      Overrides:
      start in class ConnectorBase
      Throws:
      ConnectorCheckedException - there is a problem within the connector.

    • sendRegistryEvent

      public CompletableFuture<Boolean> sendRegistryEvent(OMRSRegistryEvent registryEvent) throws ConnectorCheckedException
      Send the registry event to the OMRS Topic connector and manage errors
      Specified by:
      sendRegistryEvent in interface OMRSTopic
      Parameters:
      registryEvent - properties of the event to send
      Returns:
      a future that contains the result of send event
      Throws:
      ConnectorCheckedException - the connector is not able to communicate with the event bus

    • sendTypeDefEvent

      public CompletableFuture<Boolean> sendTypeDefEvent(OMRSTypeDefEvent typeDefEvent) throws ConnectorCheckedException
      Send the TypeDef event to the OMRS Topic connector (providing TypeDef Events are enabled).
      Specified by:
      sendTypeDefEvent in interface OMRSTopic
      Parameters:
      typeDefEvent - properties of the event to send
      Returns:
      a future that contains the result of sendEvent
      Throws:
      ConnectorCheckedException - the connector is not able to communicate with the event bus

    • sendInstanceEvent

      public void sendInstanceEvent(OMRSInstanceEvent instanceEvent) throws ConnectorCheckedException
      Set the instance event to the OMRS Topic connector if the instance event is of the permitted type.
      Specified by:
      sendInstanceEvent in interface OMRSTopic
      Parameters:
      instanceEvent - properties of the event to send
      Throws:
      ConnectorCheckedException - the connector is not able to communicate with the event bus

    • processEvent

      public void processEvent(String event)
      Receives events from the real topic, parses them into event objects and passes them on to the OMRSTopicListeners registered with this connector.
      Specified by:
      processEvent in interface OpenMetadataTopicListener
      Parameters:
      event - inbound event
