Developing event sources for the Common Event Infrastructure Web Services Receiver

Before you begin

This topic provides the steps for programming event sources that can send events to the Common Event Infrastructure Web Services Receiver.

Why and when to perform this task

You should develop an event source for the Common Event Infrastructure Web Services Receiver if your event source is not written in the Java programming language or cannot use the event emitter libraries supplied with the Common Event Infrastructure.

Steps for this task

  1. Install the Enterprise Feature Option 1 SDK on your machine.
  2. Use your Web Services toolkit of choice to produce an application that can send SOAP over HTTP requests compliant with the Web Services interface definition for the Common Event Infrastructure Web Services Receiver.
  3. You can choose between the WS-Notification 1.0 or WS-Notification 1.3 format for the messages sent from your event source. WS-Notification 1.0 is already finalized whereas WS-Notification 1.3 was in the final review stages when the Enterprise Feature Option 1 SDK shipped.
