Interface SseEventSource
- All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable
incoming Server-Sent Events
.
SSE event source instances of this class are thread safe. To build a new instance, you can use the
SseEventSource.target(endpoint)
factory method to get
a new event source builder that can be further customised and eventually used to create a new SSE
event source.
Once a SseEventSource
is created, it can be used to open a connection
to the associated web target
. After establishing the connection, the event source starts
processing any incoming inbound events. Whenever a new event is received, an
Consumer
method is invoked on any registered event consumers.
Reconnect support
The SseEventSource
supports automated recuperation from a connection loss, including
negotiation of delivery of any missed events based on the last received SSE event id
field value, provided
this field is set by the server and the negotiation facility is supported by the server. In case of a connection loss,
the last received SSE event id
field value is send in the
"Last-Event-ID" HTTP
request header as part of a new connection request sent to the SSE endpoint. Upon a receipt of such reconnect request, the SSE
endpoint that supports this negotiation facility is expected to replay all missed events. Note however, that this is a
best-effort mechanism which does not provide any guaranty that all events would be delivered without a loss. You should
therefore not rely on receiving every single event and design your client application code accordingly.
By default, when a connection the the SSE endpoint is lost, the event source will wait 500 ms
before attempting to reconnect to the SSE endpoint. The SSE endpoint can however control the client-side retry delay
by including a special retry
field value in the any send event. JAX-RS SseEventSource
tracks any
received SSE event retry
field values set by the endpoint and adjusts the reconnect delay accordingly,
using the last received retry
field value as the reconnect delay.
In addition to handling the standard connection loss failures, JAX-RS SseEventSource
automatically deals with any
HTTP 503 Service Unavailable
responses from an SSE endpoint, that contain a
"Retry-After" HTTP header with a valid value. The
HTTP 503 + "Retry-After" technique is often used by HTTP endpoints
as a means of connection and traffic throttling.
In case a HTTP 503 + "Retry-After" response is received in return to a connection
request, JAX-RS SSE event source will automatically schedule a new reconnect attempt and use the received
"Retry-After" HTTP header value as a one-time override of the reconnect delay.

register
RegisterInboundSseEvent
andThrowable
consumers and onComplete callback.Event consumer is invoked once per each received event,
Throwable
consumer is invoked invoked upon a unrecoverable error encountered by aSseEventSource
, onComplete callback is invoked when there are no further events to be received.- Parameters:
onEvent
- event consumer.onError
- error consumer.onComplete
- onComplete handler.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- when the any of the provided parameters isnull
.
-
target
Create a newevent source builder
that provides convenient way how to configure and fine-tune various aspects of a newly prepared event source instance.- Parameters:
endpoint
- SSE streaming endpoint. Must not benull
.- Returns:
- a builder of a new event source instance pointing at the specified SSE streaming endpoint.
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- in case the supplied web target isnull
.
-
open
void open()Open the connection to the supplied SSE underlyingweb target
and start processing incomingevents
.- Throws:
IllegalStateException
- in case the event source has already been opened earlier.
-
isOpen
boolean isOpen()Check if this event source instance has already beenopened
.- Returns:
true
if this event source is open,false
otherwise.
-
close
default void close()Close this event source.The method will wait up to 5 seconds for the internal event processing tasks to complete.
- Specified by:
close
in interfaceAutoCloseable
-
close
Close this event source and wait for the internal event processing task to complete for up to the specified amount of wait time.The method blocks until the event processing task has completed execution after a shutdown request, or until the timeout occurs, or the current thread is interrupted, whichever happens first.
In case the waiting for the event processing task has been interrupted, this method restores the
interrupt
flag on the thread before returningfalse
.- Parameters:
timeout
- the maximum time to wait.unit
- the time unit of the timeout argument.- Returns:
true
if this executor terminated andfalse
if the timeout elapsed before termination or the termination was interrupted.
