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>
