Chapter 16. Creating the HA CEP client

Procedure

1. Download the rhdm-7.9.1-reference-implementation.zip product deliverable file from the Software Downloads page of the Red Hat Customer Portal.
2. Extract the contents of the file and then uncompress the rhdm-7.9.1-openshift-drools-hacep-distribution.zip file.
3. Change to the openshift-drools-hacep-distribution/sources directory.
4. Review and modify the client code based on the sample project in the sample-hacep-project/sample-hacep-project-client directory. Ensure that the code fulfills the additional requirements described in Chapter 17, Requirements for HA CEP client and server code.

5. To update the KJAR version in an implementation that uses the method described in Chapter 15, Implementing the HA CEP server with a Maven repository for updating the KJAR service, add an UpdateKJarGAV call to the client, similar to the following code:

           TopicsConfig envConfig = TopicsConfig.getDefaultTopicsConfig();
           Properties props = getProperties();
           try (RemoteStreamingKieSession producer = RemoteStreamingKieSession.create(props, envConfig)){
               producer.updateKJarGAV("org.kie:fake-jar:0.1");
           }

   Copy to Clipboard

   Ensure that a KJAR with the specified GAV is available in the Maven repository when this call is executed.

6. In the sample-hacep-project/sample-hacep-project-client directory, generate a keystore, using password as a password. Enter the following command:

   keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -keystore src/main/resources/keystore.jks

   Copy to Clipboard

7. Extract the HTTPS certificate from the OpenShift environment and add it to the keystore. Enter the following commands:

   oc extract secret/my-cluster-cluster-ca-cert --keys=ca.crt --to=- > src/main/resources/ca.crt
   keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root -file src/main/resources/ca.crt -keystore src/main/resources/keystore.jks -storepass password -noprompt

   Copy to Clipboard
8. In the src/main/resources subdirectory of the project, open the configuration.properties file and replace <bootstrap-hostname> with the address that the route for the Kafka server provides.

9. Build the project using the standard Maven command:

   mvn clean install

   Copy to Clipboard

10. Change the sample-hacep-project-client project directory and enter the following command to run the client:

    mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.kie.hacep.sample.client.ClientProducerDemo"

    Copy to Clipboard

    This command executes the main method of the ClientProducerDemo class.
