  • Method Details

    • send

      int send(Event event)
      Propagates the specified event in the context server, notifying EventListenerService instances if needed. If the event is persistent (Event.isPersistent(), it will be persisted appropriately. Once the event is propagated, any ActionPostExecutor the event defined will be executed and the user profile updated if needed.
      Parameters:
      event - the Event to be propagated
      Returns:
      the result of the event handling as combination of EventService flags, to be checked using bitwise AND (&) operator
    • isEventAllowed

      boolean isEventAllowed(Event event, String thirdPartyId)
      Check if the sender is allowed to sent the speecified event. Restricted event must be explicitely allowed for a sender.
      Parameters:
      event - event to test
      thirdPartyId - third party id
      Returns:
      true if the event is allowed
    • authenticateThirdPartyServer

      String authenticateThirdPartyServer(String key, String ip)
      Get the third party server name, if the request is originated from a known peer
      Parameters:
      key - the key
      ip - the ip
      Returns:
      server name
    • getEventProperties

      List<EventProperty> getEventProperties()
      Deprecated.
      use event types instead
      Retrieves the list of available event properties.
      Returns:
      a list of available event properties
    • getEventTypeIds

      Set<String> getEventTypeIds()
      Retrieves the set of known event type identifiers.
      Returns:
      the set of known event type identifiers.
    • searchEvents

      PartialList<Event> searchEvents(Condition condition, int offset, int size)
      Retrieves Events matching the specified Condition. Events are ordered according to their time stamp (Event.getTimeStamp() and paged: only size of them are retrieved, starting with the offset-th one.
      Parameters:
      condition - the Condition we want the Events to match to be retrieved
      offset - zero or a positive integer specifying the position of the first event in the total ordered collection of matching events
      size - a positive integer specifying how many matching events should be retrieved or -1 if all of them should be retrieved
      Returns:
      a PartialList of matching events
    • searchEvents

      PartialList<Event> searchEvents(String sessionId, String[] eventTypes, String query, int offset, int size, String sortBy)
      Retrieves Events for the Session identified by the provided session identifier, matching any of the provided event types, ordered according to the specified sortBy String and paged: only size of them are retrieved, starting with the offset-th one. If a query is provided, a full text search is performed on the matching events to further filter them.
      Parameters:
      sessionId - the identifier of the user session we're considering
      eventTypes - an array of event type names; the events to retrieve should at least match one of these
      query - a String to perform full text filtering on events matching the other conditions
      offset - zero or a positive integer specifying the position of the first event in the total ordered collection of matching events
      size - a positive integer specifying how many matching events should be retrieved or -1 if all of them should be retrieved
      sortBy - an optional (null if no sorting is required) String of comma (,) separated property names on which ordering should be performed, ordering elements according to the property order in the String, considering each in turn and moving on to the next one in case of equality of all preceding ones. Each property name is optionally followed by a column (:) and an order specifier: asc or desc.
      Returns:
      a PartialList of matching events
    • search

      PartialList<Event> search(Query query)
