This is part of an old version. The new version (v2) available here: https://www.github.com/jvalue/open-data-service

Complex Event Processing Service

The Complex Event Processing Service (CEPS) is a Java based web service which is capable of receiving arbitrary data from outside sources and processing this data via client defined rules.

It is currently actively being used for sending alarms about water levels in Germany to the Android application Pegel Alarm (available also on GitHub).

Modules

The CEPS is divided into a number of gradle modules:

• server: the main server application, built using Dropwizard
• models: domain models
• client-retrofit: a Java client implementation for the REST API of the CEPS

Setup

In its current form the CEPS is specialized for receiving data from the Open Data Service (ODS), an open source web service capable of gathering data from many different sources.

For setting up the CEPS please refer to the setup section of the ODS. Configuration wise the main differences are:

• url: URL of the running CEPS instance. Required by the CEPS to receive data callbacks from other services
• ods: credentials required to register the CEPS as a client on the ODS to receive data callbacks

Usage

Much like the ODS there are three primary ways of getting a feeling for the REST api of the CEPS:

• the REST api implementation
• the Postman collection
• the Java client implementation (see below)

In order for the Postman collection to work, Postman needs to know a couple of things (e.g. passwords, urls, etc.), which can be set by importing a so called environment file that looks like this:

{
	"id": "b9d8ff70-9540-e7c6-e423-d8cd74d9c6e3",
	"name": "ods-localhost",
	"values": [
		{
			"key": "ceps_base_url",
			"value": "http://localhost:8082/ceps/api/v1",
			"type": "text",
			"name": "ceps_base_url",
			"enabled": true
		},
		{
			"key": "ceps_admin_username",
			"value": "admin@adminland.com",
			"type": "text",
			"name": "ceps_admin_username",
			"enabled": true
		},
		{
			"key": "ceps_admin_password",
			"value": "admin123",
			"type": "text",
			"name": "ceps_admin_password",
			"enabled": true
		}
	],
	"timestamp": 1436519975279,
	"synced": false,
	"syncedFilename": ""
}

Client implementation

Just like the ODS, the CEPS comes equipped with a fully function Java client implementation which as generated using JaxRs2Retrofit. For gradle users:

repositories {
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
  compile 'org.jvalue.ceps:client-retrofit:0.1.1'
}
