HTTP Callout Notifier

If you would like the Publisher to notifier an external HTTP Server that a publish event has occurred, then you can use the HTTP Callout Notifier to do this. By adding this to the output processor list of any of the configuration sets in you configuration file you will tell the publisher to make an HTTP GET request at the end of the process. Regardless of where the bean is put in the list of output processors, the http call will be made after any rulebases have been publisher and the new SES index has been activated.

An example configuration is presented in the /resources/import/AdditionalExamples file.

  <bean id="HttpCalloutNotifier"
      class="com.smartlogic.publisher.notification.HttpCalloutNotifier">
      <property name="urlTemplate" value="http://hostname/fullPathToNotificationService" />
      <property name="dateParameter" value="date" />
      <property name="idParameter" value="id" />
      <property name="additionalParameters">
          <map>
              <entry key="modelname" value="${model.name}" />
          </map>
      </property>
      <property name="headers">
          <map>
              <entry key="Cookie" value="JSESSIONID=C26A83AB1991234567E8C10EA36" />
          </map>
