A simplified connector example to the Enterprise Messaging Platform.
This example connector provides support for SSL, HTTP proxies and supports both the long polling and websocket streaming transports. Easy subscription management and full support for event replay is provided. The connector is a thin wrapper around the underlying CometD library.
The EMP-Connector sample is deprecated and will be archived in the future. The EMP-Connector code is an example only and isn't intended for production environments. It hasn't been rigorously tested nor performance tested for throughput and scale.
Are you looking for a code sample for subscribing to platform events and change events? Check out the Java Quick Start for Pub/Sub API in the Pub/Sub API Guide.
Several example classes are provided to subscribe to a channel. All classes contain a main function that starts the tool. All examples authenticate to Salesforce and subscribe to a channel. Some examples use a different authentication mechanism or provide verbose logging.
All classes process events asynchronously in a separate thread. This ensures that EMP Connector continues to perform /meta/connect requests and keeps the session alive on the server.
Currently, one thread is used for event processing and events are processed in the order they're received. You can increase the number of threads for parallel processing. However, doing so may cause events to not be processed in the order received.
The LoginExample.java class is the default class that EMP Connector executes. This class authenticates to your production Salesforce org using your Salesforce username and password.
The DevLoginExample class enables you to pass in a custom login URL, such as a sandbox instance (https://test.salesforce.com). Also, DevLoginExample logs to the console the Bayeux connection messages received on the /meta channels, such as /meta/handshake and /meta/connect.
The BearerExample.java class uses the OAuth bearer token authentication and accepts an access token.
After cloning the project, build EMP Connector using Maven:
$ mvn clean package
The build generates the jar file in the target subfolder.
To run EMP Connector using the LoginExample class with username and password authentication, use this command.
$ java -jar target/emp-connector-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-phat.jar <username> <password> <channel> [optional_replay_id]
To run EMP Connector using the DevLoginExample class with username and password authentication, use this command.
$ java -classpath target/emp-connector-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-phat.jar com.salesforce.emp.connector.example.DevLoginExample <login_URL> <username> <password> <channel> [optional_replay_id]
To run EMP Connector using an OAuth access token, use this command.
$ java -classpath target/emp-connector-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-phat.jar com.salesforce.emp.connector.example.BearerTokenExample <instance_URL> <token> <channel> [optional_replay_id]
The last parameter is the replay ID, which is the position in the stream from which you want to receive event messages. This parameter is optional. If not specified, EMP Connector fetches events starting from the tip, the newly received event messages (-1 option). To receive stored event messages that are within the retention window, specify -2. Use -2 sparingly. If a large volume of event messages is stored, retrieving all event messages can slow performance. For more information, see Message Durability.
If you subscribe to a PushTopic channel with a filter, enclose the entire channel and filter information within quotes on the command line. Do not use single quotes around field values. Otherwise, EMP Connector doesn't work properly. For example, this command line uses filters on the TestAccount PushTopic.
$ java -jar target/emp-connector-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-phat.jar <username> <password> "/topic/TestAccount?Type=Technology Partner&Phone=(415) 555-1212"
Only Pushtopic events support filtering. For more information, see Filtered Subscriptions.
The LoggingListener class provides debug logging output of Bayeux messages received on the meta channels, such as /meta/handshake and /meta/connect. Each message is logged to the console with a timestamp, a "Success" prefix or a "Failure" prefix depending on whether the operation was successful or not, and then the body of the Bayeux message. For example, this log is for a handshake message.
[2018-01-19 10:54:12.701] Success:[/meta/handshake]
{ext={replay=true, payload.format=true}, minimumVersion=1.0, clientId=cn2vei6rz2pa01gqqvungzlppy,
supportedConnectionTypes=[Ljava.lang.Object;@6e2ce7d1,
channel=/meta/handshake, id=1, version=1.0, successful=true}
To add logging support to your connection, first create an instance of the LoggingListener class. The LoggingListener constructor accepts two boolean arguments that specify whether to log success and failure messages. Next, call the EmpConnector.addListener() method for each meta channel to add logging for and pass in the channel and the LoggingListener instance. This example adds logging for multiple channels.
LoggingListener loggingListener = new LoggingListener(true, true);
connector.addListener(META_HANDSHAKE, loggingListener)
.addListener(META_CONNECT, loggingListener)
.addListener(META_DISCONNECT, loggingListener)
.addListener(META_SUBSCRIBE, loggingListener)
.addListener(META_UNSUBSCRIBE, loggingListener);
The DevLoginExample class uses LoggingListener to log the messages received.
EMP Connector buffers the batch of events received using the CometD library. The buffer size is set in BayeuxParameters.java, in maxBufferSize(). Ensure that the buffer size is large enough to hold all event messages in the batch. The buffer size needed depends on the publishing rate and the event message size. At a minimum, set the buffer size to 10 MB, and adjust it higher if needed.
The subscription endpoint for platform events includes the Salesforce API version. You can change the default API version in EMP Connector in BayeuxParameters.java, in version().
Authentication becomes invalid when a Salesforce session is invalidated or an access token is revoked. EMP connector listens to 401::Authentication invalid error messages that Streaming API sends when the authentication is no longer valid. To reauthenticate after a 401 error is received, call the EmpConnector.setBearerTokenProvider() method, which accepts a function that reauthenticates and returns a new session ID or access token.
// Define the bearer token function
Function<Boolean, String> bearerTokenProvider = (Boolean reAuth) -> {
...
}
// Set the bearer token function
connector.setBearerTokenProvider(bearerTokenProvider);
For a full example, see LoginExample.java.
