Sunil's Notes: Passing Complex Events in WSRP

In the Passing complex objects in portlet events entry i talked about how you can pass complex/custom objects as event payload.

You can download the sample code for this project from here

Contact

EventSource

EventTarget

But you will have to make some additional changes to your portlet if you want to pass these object between portlets installed on different severs using WSRP. In case when objects are hosted on different server then portal server will serialize the complex object using JAXB and then send it to consumer. I changed my existing Contact object like this to make it work in WSRP


package com.webspherenotes.portlet.events;

import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlRootElement
public class Contact implements Serializable{
  private static final long serialVersionUID = -1637774642655976822L;
  private String firstName;
  private String lastName;
  private String email;
  public Contact(){
  }
  public Contact(String firstName, String lastName, String email) {
    super();
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
    this.email = email;
  }
  public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
  }
  public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
  }
  public String getLastName() {
    return lastName;
  }
  public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }
  public String getEmail() {
    return email;
  }
  public void setEmail(String email) {
    this.email = email;
  }
}

I had to annotate the Contact object by adding @XmlRootElement this. You will have to copy the contact.jar in shared library of both producer and consumer. Also make sure that Contact class has no-arg constructor.

When my Contact.java class did not had constructor i was getting error like this.
