Arguments
| Name | Mandatory | Default | Description |
|---|
| topic | true | | A String which represents channel subscribed by listeners. |
| data | false | | An Object - preferrably Serializable for IO facilities - which represents the subject of your event such as a domain class. |
| params | false | See below for arguments defaults | A Map which represents sending behaviors including namespace. |
| callbackClosure | false | | A Closure triggered after an event completion. |
Params arguments :
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
| fork | Boolean | false | Force the event to reuse the caller thread, therefore executing the method synchronously and propagating any errors. |
| namespace / for | String | 'app' | Target a dedicated topic namespace. To avoid overlapping topic names, the events bus supports a scoping concept called namespace. E.g. 'gorm' is used by gorm events and 'browser' is used for Javascript listeners in events-push plugin. |
| onReply | Closure{EventReply reply} | | Same behavior than callbackClosure argument, overrides it if both are defined. |
| onError | Closure{List<Exception> errors} | | If exceptions has been raised by listeners, this callback will be triggered. If undefined, exceptions will be propagated on EventReply.getValue(s). |
| gormSession | Boolean | true | Opens a GORM session for the new thread which carries event execution. |
| timeout | Long | | Define a maximum time in millisecond for the event execution. |
| headers | Map<String, Serializable> | | Additional headers for the event message enveloppe. |
event(Map argument)
The map notation allows you to reuse the same arguments than params plus
topic for topic,
data for data and
for (shortcut for 'namespace'). If you specify
params, it will use it for the
params argument otherwise the first level map is used as
params.
