Knative Connector

Prerequisite​

Create Knative Source and Sink​

We use the cloudevents-player Knative service as an example. If you do not know how to create cloudevents-player Knative service as source and sink, please follow the steps in this link.

Set up EventMesh Configuration​

plugins {
    id 'application'
}

application {
    mainClass = project.hasProperty("mainClass") ? project.getProperty("mainClass") : 'org.apache.eventmesh.starter.StartUp'
    applicationDefaultJvmArgs = [
            '-Dlog4j.configurationFile=../eventmesh-runtime/conf/log4j2.xml', '-Deventmesh.log.home=../eventmesh-runtime/logs', '-Deventmesh.home=../eventmesh-runtime', '-DconfPath=../eventmesh-runtime/conf'
    ]
}

dependencies {
    implementation project(":eventmesh-connector-plugin:eventmesh-connector-knative")
    implementation project(":eventmesh-runtime")
}
plugins {
    id 'application'
}

application {
    mainClass = project.hasProperty("mainClass") ? project.getProperty("mainClass") : 'NULL'
}

Demo​

Publish an Event Message from Knative and Subscribe from EventMesh​

Step 1: Start an Eventmesh-Runtime Server​

$ cd eventmesh-starter
$ ../gradlew -PmainClass=org.apache.eventmesh.starter.StartUp run

Step 2: Publish an Event Message from Knative​

$ curl -i http://cloudevents-player.default.127.0.0.1.sslip.io -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Ce-Id: 123456789" -H "Ce-Specversion: 1.0" -H "Ce-Type: some-type" -H "Ce-Source: command-line" -d '{"msg":"Hello CloudEvents!"}'

Step 3: Subscribe from an EventMesh​

  • Set public static final String EVENTMESH_HTTP_ASYNC_TEST_TOPIC = "messages"; in ExampleConstants.java file.
$ cd eventmesh-examples
$ ../gradlew -PmainClass=org.apache.eventmesh.http.demo.sub.SpringBootDemoApplication run

Expected Result​

The following message with data field as Hello CloudEvents! will be printed on the console of EventMesh server.

2022-09-05 16:37:58,237 INFO  [eventMesh-clientManage-] DefaultConsumer(DefaultConsumer.java:60) - \
[{"event":{"attributes":{"datacontenttype":"application/json","id":"123456789","mediaType":"application/json",\
"source":"command-line","specversion":"1.0","type":"some-type"},"data":{"msg":"Hello CloudEvents!"},"extensions":{}},\
"id":"123456789","receivedAt":"2022-09-05T10:37:49.537658+02:00[Europe/Madrid]","type":"RECEIVED"}]

Publish an Event Message from EventMesh and Subscribe from Knative​

Step 1: Start an Eventmesh-Runtime Server​

$ cd eventmesh-starter
$ ../gradlew -PmainClass=org.apache.eventmesh.starter.StartUp run

Step 2: Publish an Event Message from EventMesh​

We use a test program to demo this function.

$ cd eventmesh-connector-plugin/eventmesh-connector-knative
$ ../../gradlew clean test --tests KnativeProducerImplTest.testPublish

Step 3: Subscribe from Knative​

$ curl http://cloudevents-player.default.127.0.0.1.sslip.io/messages

Expected Result​

The following message with data field as Hello Knative from EventMesh! will be printed on the console of EventMesh server.
