Eventnative Java SDK

This project contains the implementation of Java clients to send events to Eventnative backend.

Dependency configuration

To add a dependency on eventnative-java-sdk, use one of the following tools:

Gradle

compile "org.eventnative:eventnative:0.1"

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.eventnative</groupId>
  <artifactId>eventnative</artifactId>
  <version>0.1</version>
</dependency>

Or use other dependency management configuration.

Clients

We have two types of clients: synchronous and asynchronous events processing.

Clients allow sending web events or any event. Web event has a defined structure (see WebEvent). Other events supposed to be any valid JSON object.

Asynchronous clients

This group of clients stores events to queue and sends them to the backend server using a dedicated thread. The queue size is configurable. When the queue is full, it stops accepting new events. If an event may not be added to the queue, you'll get false value.

We have one implementation of async client.

Example of async client usage:

try (EventNativeAsyncClient client = new EventNativeAsyncClient(EVENTNATIVE_BASE_URL, S2S_TOKEN, 10)) {
    JsonObject event = JsonParser.parseString("{\"event_type\": \"s2s_async_test\"}").getAsJsonObject();
    final boolean addedToQueue = eventsClient.sendEvent(event);
    if (!addedToQueue) {
    // process the situation when queue is full
    }
}

The asynchronous client does not guarantee that all the messages of the queue will be delivered. If you stop the application, events at the queue that were not processed get lost. To avoid this problem, you should use a synchronous client and implement your own persistence of the events.

To check which events are still in the queue, use org.eventnative.client.EventNativeAsyncClient.getUnprocessedEvents

Synchronous clients

These clients send an event and return server response. We have an implementation of one sync client.

Example of sync event sending:

String event = "{\"event_type\": \"test_event\" }";
JsonObject json = JsonParser.parseString(event).getAsJsonObject();
final EventNativeSyncClient client = new EventNativeSyncClient(EVENTNATIVE_BASE_URL, S2S_TOKEN);
final EventNativeResponse eventNativeResponse = client.sendEvent(event);
if (!eventNativeResponse.isSuccessful()) {
    System.out.println("status: " + eventNativeResponse.getStatus());
    System.out.println("response body: " + eventNativeResponse.getBody());
}
