Publishing Binary Events via TCP

Purpose:

This application demonstrates how to configure ESB Streaming Integrator Tooling to send sweet production events via TCP transport in binary format and view the output on the console.

Prerequisites:

Save this sample.

Executing the Sample:

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to the {WSO2SIHome}/samples/sample-clients/tcp-server directory. Run the command: 
    ant -Dcontext=LowProductionAlertStream
  2. Start the Siddhi application by clicking 'Run'.
  3. If the Siddhi application starts successfully, the following messages appear on the console. 
    * PublishTcpInBinaryFormat.siddhi - Started Successfully!
* 'tcp' sink at 'LowProductionAlertStream' stream successfully connected to 'localhost:9892'.
  4. Open the event simulator by clicking on the second icon or press Ctrl+Shift+I.
  5. In the Single Simulation tab of the panel, select values as follows:
    • Siddhi App Name: PublishTcpInBinaryFormat
    • Stream Name: SweetProductionStream
  6. In the 'name' and 'amount' fields, enter 'toffee' and '45.24' respectively, and then click Send to send the event.
  7. Send some more events.
  8. Check the output in the terminal of {WSO2SIHome}/samples/sample-clients/tcp-server. You will see output similar to the following: 
    [java] [org.wso2.si.tcp.server.TCPServer] : Event{timestamp=1512446413468, data=[toffee, 45.25], isExpired=false}
[java] [org.wso2.si.tcp.server.TCPServer] : Event{timestamp=1512446425113, data=[coffee, 9.78], isExpired=false}
[java] [org.wso2.si.tcp.server.TCPServer] : Event{timestamp=1512446442300, data=[chocolate, 78.23], isExpired=false}

Notes:

If you need to edit this application while it is running, stop the application -> Save -> Start. If the message 'LowProducitonAlertStream' stream could not connect to 'localhost:9892', it could be due to port 9892, which is defined in the Siddhi application. This port 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 9892 to an unused port, in this Siddhi application's source configuration and also change the port number in the tcp-server file. * Start the application and check whether the expected output appears on the console.
