WsEventSource

The WsEventSource provides a SOAP web-service API to the event system. The SOAP service is published at a configured endpoint. The service offers the following operations which are used to signal an event:

  • void signal(EventData event)
  • JobResult synchronousSignal(EventData event) throws JobResult

The WSDL and XML schema needed to invoke the service can be found in the JAR nevisdp- wsclient.jar. It also contains Java client stubs to invoke the service.

Optional authentication is handled by means of two-way SSL.
