Class NotificationServlet

java.lang.Object

javax.servlet.GenericServlet

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

com.google.api.client.googleapis.extensions.servlet.notifications.NotificationServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

@Beta
public class NotificationServlet
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Beta
Thread-safe Webhook Servlet to receive notifications.

In order to use this servlet you should create a class inheriting from NotificationServlet and register the servlet in your web.xml.

It is a simple wrapper around WebhookUtils.processWebhookNotification(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, com.google.api.client.util.store.DataStoreFactory), so if you you may alternatively call that method instead from your HttpServlet.doPost(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse) with no loss of functionality.

Example usage:

  public class MyNotificationServlet extends NotificationServlet {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public MyNotificationServlet() throws IOException {
      super(new SomeDataStoreFactory());
    }
  }
 

Sample web.xml setup:

   <servlet >
       <servlet-name >MyNotificationServlet </servlet-name >
       <servlet-class >com.mypackage.MyNotificationServlet </servlet-class >
   </servlet >
   <servlet-mapping >
       <servlet-name >MyNotificationServlet </servlet-name >
       <url-pattern >/notifications </url-pattern >
   </servlet-mapping >
 

WARNING: by default it uses MemoryDataStoreFactory.getDefaultInstance() which means it will NOT persist the notification channels when the servlet process dies, so it is a BAD CHOICE for a production application. But it is a convenient choice when testing locally, in which case you don't need to override it, and can simply reference it directly in your web.xml file. For example:

   <servlet >
       <servlet-name >NotificationServlet </servlet-name >
       <servlet-class >com.google.api.client.googleapis.extensions.servlet.notificationsNotificationServlet </servlet-class >
   </servlet >
   <servlet-mapping >
       <servlet-name >NotificationServlet </servlet-name >
       <url-pattern >/notifications </url-pattern >
   </servlet-mapping >
