Notification Consumer Binding Sample
===============================

This sample illustrates the use of <binding.notification/> with a
remote consumer.

The README in the samples directory (the directory above this) provides 
general instructions about building and running samples. Take a look there 
first. 

Sample Overview
---------------

This sample illustrates the use of a notification consumer that is located in a
separate (and remote) composite with respect to any producers. As such, this sample
is run in conjunction with the binding-notification-producer sample, the
binding-notification-broker sample, or both. Take a look at the composite file 
or the .svg file which shows the composite file in pictorial form. The composite
service, wired to the notification component, has a <binding.notification/>
that handles the remote communication. This binding includes an 'ntm' attribute
that refers to the notification type manager, which manages the connectivity of
producers, consumers and brokers, and which (for this sample) is assumed to be
running on http://localhost:8083. The ntm is a system component that is included in
and runs as part of the binding-notification module.
This sample also illustrates the use of a wsdl interface in the notification
component's <implementation.notification/>. This allows messages sent and received
via <binding.notification/> to be transported as literal xml over http.

Building And Running The Sample Using Ant
-----------------------------------------
With the binary distribution the sample can be built and run using Ant as 
follows

cd binding-notification-consumer
ant compile
ant run

You should see the following output from the run target.

run:
     [java] Sep 14, 2007 10:56:29 AM org.apache.tuscany.sca.http.jetty.JettyServer addServletMapping
     [java] INFO: Added Servlet mapping: http://localhost:8083/ntm/trafficAdvisory
     [java] Sep 14, 2007 10:56:29 AM org.apache.tuscany.sca.http.jetty.JettyServer addServletMapping
     [java] INFO: Added Servlet mapping: http://localhost:8083/consumer/trafficAdvisory
     
Building And Running The Sample Using Maven 
-------------------------------------------
With either the binary or source distributions the sample can be built and run 
using Maven as follows. 

cd binding-notification-consumer
mvn

Sample Usage
------------

This sample is run using the tuscany binary distribution. To run it, navigate to this sample's directory and 

on Wondows, use following command:

java -Dnotification.httpPort=8082 -cp ..\..\lib\tuscany-sca-manifest.jar;target\sample-binding-notification-consumer.jar notification.consumer.TrafficAdvisoryServer

on *nix, use following command:

java -Dnotification.httpPort=8082 -cp ../../lib/tuscany-sca-manifest.jar:target/sample-binding-notification-consumer.jar notification.consumer.TrafficAdvisoryServer

this should bring up the following prompt:

TrafficAdvisoryServer, hit return to end

at this point you should be able to receive messages.

Notice that before you try to receive any message, you should bring up the
producer sample or the broker sample. When you have finished using this
sample, hit return to end.

Also notice that '-Dnotification.httpPort=8082' is used in the java command.
This indicates the port the sample should use. This also says that this server
is not going to play the role of ntm, given our previous assumption. It is important
that the first one of the producer, consumer or broker sample that is run be the
one that uses '-Dnotification.httpPort=8083', otherwise there is no ntm to talk
to and an exception will be thrown.
