Bulk Notifications

The Bulker sends the following notifications:

  • BulkArchivedNotification

  • BulkClosedNotification

  • BulkCompletedNotification

  • BulkConfiguredNotification

  • BulkFinalisedNotification

  • BulkRejectedNotification

  • BulkTerminatedNotification

  • ChildBulkRegisteredNotification

These notifications are sent when the bulk is in the relevant state.

There are three options for handling Bulk Notifications:

  • Embedded Bulk Notification Handling

  • Send Bulk Notifications to an external system using Connectors

  • Send Bulk Notifications using in built support for sending notifications to Kafka

Embedded Bulk Notification Handling

Add the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.iconsolutions.ipf.bulk</groupId>
    <artifactId>ipf-bulker-notifications-api</artifactId>
</dependency>

And then provide an implementation of BulkNotificationPort, adding it as a bean to the Application Context.

Sending Bulk Notifications via Connectors

To send notifications to an external system, add the following dependency, which includes a Connector for sending Bulker Notifications.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.iconsolutions.ipf.bulk</groupId>
    <artifactId>ipf-bulker-notifications-connector-core</artifactId>
</dependency>

Then define a specific ConnectorTransport<BulkNotification<?>> bean in the application context (supported ConnectorTransports include Kafka, HTTP and JMS). Please see Writing HTTP Connector for an example of configuring a HTTPConnectorTransport and wiring the ConnectorTransport into the Connector.

Sending Bulk Notifications to Kafka

To send notifications to a Kafka topic, instead of including the above dependency, include the dependency below. Using the dependency below means support for sending notifications via Kafka is preconfigured.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.iconsolutions.ipf.bulk</groupId>
    <artifactId>ipf-bulker-notifications-connector-kafka</artifactId>
</dependency>
