Class OpenMetadataTopicConnector

java.lang.Object
org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.Connector
org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ConnectorBase
org.odpi.openmetadata.repositoryservices.connectors.openmetadatatopic.OpenMetadataTopicConnector
All Implemented Interfaces:
Runnable, org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.auditlog.AuditLoggingComponent, org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.SecureConnectorExtension, OpenMetadataTopic
public abstract class OpenMetadataTopicConnector extends org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ConnectorBase implements OpenMetadataTopic, Runnable, org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.auditlog.AuditLoggingComponent
OpenMetadataTopicConnector provides the support for the registration of listeners and the distribution of incoming events to the registered listeners. An implementation of the OpenMetadataTopicConnector needs to extend this class to include the interaction with the eventing/messaging layer.
  • For inbound events it should call the protected distributeEvents() method.
  • For outbound events, callers will invoke the sendEvent() method.
  • When the server no longer needs the topic, it will call disconnect().
