==Introduction==
+
sdsdfsdf
 
+
OSGi declares an EventAdmin service that is responsible for distributing events to listeners registered via the (org.osgi.service.event.EventHandler).  It's possible to create distributed implementations of such services using JMS and/or other messaging frameworks for distributing messages to other OSGi frameworks.
+
 
+

+
 
+
ECF's provider architecture allows the creation of a distributed EventAdmin implementation that can use a variety of wire protocols.  For example, ActiveMQ/JMS 5.2 as above, or ECF generic, XMPP, JavaGroups, commercial/proprietary messaging buses, or any others that can implement the ECF Shared Object API.
+
 
+
==Getting the Distributed EventAdmin Service==
+
 
+
First, install ECF 3.0.  [http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/downloads.php Here is the download page].
+
 
+
Then get the two projects that implement the event admin example.  [[Media:Example1.eventadmin.psf | This is a project set file]].  Save the project set file to your local disk and then import to get into your Eclipse workspace.  For anonymous CVS access:
+
 
+
host:  '''dev.eclipse.org'''
+
 
+
path:  '''/cvsroot/rt'''
+
 
+
module: '''org.eclipse.ecf/server-side/bundles''', project: '''org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.eventadmin'''
+
 
+
module: '''org.eclipse.ecf/examples/bundles''', project: '''org.eclipse.ecf.examples.eventadmin.app'''
+
 
+
==Running an Example Server and Clients==
+
 
+
Once these two projects are in your workspace, you can run the ECF generic based server and client by opening the product editor for the following product files:
+
 
+
'''org.eclipse.ecf.examples.eventadmin.app/EventAdmin Generic Server.product'''
+
 
+
'''org.eclipse.ecf.examples.eventadmin.app/EventAdmin Generic Client.product'''
+
 
+
[[Image:Productlaunch.png]]
+
 
+
 
+
To run, click on 'Launch an Eclipse application' at the lower left.
+
 
+
If you run the EventAdmin Generic Server.product, you should get output to the console every few seconds like this:
+
 
+
<pre>
+
handleEvent
+
topic=defaultTopic
+
message=message #0
+
sender=ecftcp://localhost:3787/server
+
handleEvent
+
topic=defaultTopic
+
message=message #1
+
sender=ecftcp://localhost:3787/server
+
...
+
</pre>
+
 
+
This indicates that the EventAdmin service is being accessed to send test messages every 2 seconds.  Here's the code (in '''org.eclipse.ecf.examples.internal.eventadmin.app.TestSender''' class) that is making the EventAdmin.postEvent call:
+
 
+
<source lang="java">
+
      Map msgProps = new Properties();
+
      msgProps.put("message", "message #"
+
                  + messageCounter++);
+
      msgProps.put("sender", sender);
+
      eventAdmin.postEvent(new Event(topic, msgProps));
+
</source>
+
 
+
What this does is create an Event instance with values for a couple of properties (i.e. "message", and "sender"), and then call eventAdmin.postEvent(Event) to have the eventAdmin implementation deliver the message to EventHandlers.
+
 
+
The test event handler implementation is this (in '''org.eclipse.ecf.examples.internal.eventadmin.app.TestEventHandler''' class):
+
 
+
<source lang="java">
+
public class TestEventHandler implements EventHandler {
+
 
+
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
+
System.out.println("handleEvent\n\ttopic=" + event.getTopic()
+
+ "\n\tmessage=" + event.getProperty("message") + "\n\tsender="
+
+ event.getProperty("sender"));
+
}
+
 
+
}
+
</source>
+
 
+
The TestEventHandler class is registered as an instance of EventHandler upon application startup (in '''org.eclipse.ecf.examples.internal.eventadmin.app.EventAdminManagerApplication''')
+
 
+
<source lang="java">
+
                Dictionary dictionary = new Hashtable();
+
                dictionary.put(EventConstants.EVENT_TOPIC,"*"); // Needed, otherwise you don't see any events at all
+
testEventHandlerRegistration = bundleContext.registerService(
+
EventHandler.class.getName(), new TestEventHandler(), dictionary);
+
</source>
+
 
+
If a EventAdmin Generic Server.product and 1 or more EventAdmin Generic Client.products are started then both the clients and the server will act as both message senders and EventHandlers (receivers), and the output will appear something like this
+
 
+
<pre>
+
handleEvent
+
topic=defaultTopic
+
message=message #3
+
sender=ecftcp://localhost:3787/server
+
handleEvent
+
topic=defaultTopic
+
message=message #0
+
sender=9POAn/uwLgZyU5krxfjDhhhAuMU=
+
handleEvent
+
topic=defaultTopic
+
message=message #4
+
sender=ecftcp://localhost:3787/server
+
handleEvent
+
topic=defaultTopic
+
message=message #1
+
sender=9POAn/uwLgZyU5krxfjDhhhAuMU=
+
...
+
</pre>
+
 
+
You can see that the 'sender' is different for the server (i.e. ecftcp://localhost:3787/server) than for the client(s) (i.e. 9POAn/uwLgZyU5krxfjDhhhAuMU=).  This indicates that both the server and the client are sending messages, and receiving them (delivered to the EventHandler's that have been registered).
+
 
+
See the following two classes for info on how the test server and client are structured
+
 
+
'''org.eclipse.ecf.examples.internal.eventadmin.app.EventAdminManagerApplication'''
+
'''org.eclipse.ecf.examples.internal.eventadmin.app.EventAdminClientApplication'''
