+== JMS IO
+
+APEX supports the Java Messaging Service (JMS) as input as well as output.
+JMS IO is supported by the APEX JMS plugin.
+Input and output support an event encoding as text (JSON string) or object (serialized object).
+The input configuration is the same for both encodings, the output configuration differs.
+
+
+=== JMS Input
+
+APEX will receive events from a JMS messaging system.
+The input is uni-directional, an engine will only receive events from the input but not send any event to the input.

+=== JMS Output with Text
+
+APEX engine send events to a JMS messaging system.

+<9> set object messaging to `false` means it sends JSON text
+
+
+=== JMS Output with Object
+
+To configure APEX for JMS objects on the output interface use the same configuration as above (for output).
+Simply change the `objectMessageSending` parameter to `true`.

+== Kafka IO
+
+Kafka IO is supported by the APEX Kafka plugin.
+The configurations below are examples.
+APEX will take any configuration inside the parameter object and forward it to Kafka.
+More information on Kafka specific configuration parameters can be found in the Kafka documentation:
+
+* link:https://kafka.apache.org/090/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/KafkaConsumer.html[Kafka Consumer Class]
+* link:https://kafka.apache.org/090/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/producer/KafkaProducer.html[Kafka Producer Class]
+
+
+
+=== Kafka Input
+
+APEX will receive events from the Apache Kafka messaging system.
+The input is uni-directional, an engine will only receive events from the input but not send any event to the input.

+== REST Client IO
+
+APEX can act as REST client on the input as well as on the output interface.
+The media type is `application/json`, so this plugin does only work with the JSON Event protocol.
+
+=== REST Client Input
+
+APEX will connect to a given URL to receive events, but not send any events.
+The server is polled, i.e. APEX will do an HTTP GET, take the result, and then do the next GET.
+Any required timing needs to be handled by the server configured via the URL.
+For instance, the server could support a wait timeout via the URL as `?timeout=100ms`.
+
+[source%nowrap,json]
+----
+"carrierTechnologyParameters" : {
+ "carrierTechnology" : "RESTCLIENT", <1>
+ "parameterClassName" :
+ "org.onap.policy.apex.plugins.event.carrier.restclient.RESTClientCarrierTechnologyParameters",
+ "parameters" : {
+ "url" : "http://example.org:8080/triggers/events", <2>
+ }
+}
+----
+
+<1> set REST client as carrier technology
+<2> the URL of the HTTP server for events
+
+
+=== REST Client Output
+
+APEX will connect to a given URL to send events, but not receive any events.
+The default HTTP operation is POST (no configuration required).
+To change it to PUT simply add the configuration parameter (as shown in the example below).
+
+[source%nowrap,json]

+ "url" : "http://example.com:8888/actions/events", <2>
+ "httpMethod" : "PUT" <3>
+ }
+}
+----
+
+<1> set REST client as carrier technology
+<2> the URL of the HTTP server for events
+<3> use HTTP PUT (remove this line to use HTTP POST)

+
+APEX can act as REST requestor on the input as well as on the output interface.
+The media type is `application/json`, so this plugin does only work with the JSON Event protocol.
+
+=== REST Requestor Input
+
+APEX will connect to a given URL to request an input.

+<3> use HTTP PUT (remove this line to use HTTP POST)
+<4> request timeout in milliseconds
+
+Further settings are required on the consumer to define the event that is requested, for example:

+== REST Server IO
+
+APEX supports a REST server for input and output.
+
+The REST server plugin always uses a synchronous mode.
+A client does a HTTP GET on the APEX REST server with the input event and receives the generated output event in the server reply.
+This means that for the REST server there has to always to be an input with an associated output.
+Input or output only are not permitted.
+
+The plugin will start a Grizzly server as REST server for a normal APEX engine.
+If the APEX engine is executed as a servlet, for instance inside Tomcat, then Tomcat will be used as REST server (this case requires configuration on Tomcat as well).
+
+Some configuration restrictions apply for all scenarios:
+
+- Minimum port: 1024
+- Maximum port: 65535
+- The media type is `application/json`, so this plugin does only work with the JSON Event protocol.
+
+The URL the client calls is created using
+
+- the configured host and port, e.g. `http://localhost:12345`
+- the standard path, e.g. `/apex/`
+- the name of the input/output, e.g. `FirstConsumer/`
+- the input or output name, e.g. `EventIn`.
+
+The examples above lead to the URL `http://localhost:12345/apex/FirstConsumer/EventIn`.
+
+A client can also get status information of the REST server using `/Status`, e.g. `http://localhost:12345/apex/FirstConsumer/Status`.
+
+
+=== REST Server Stand-alone
+
+We need to configure a REST server input and a REST server output.
+Input and output are associated with each other via there name.
+
+Timeouts for REST calls need to be set carefully.
+If they are too short, the call might timeout before a policy finished creating an event.
+
+The following example configures the input named as `MyConsumer` and associates an output named `MyProducer` with it.
+
+[source%nowrap,json]
+----
+"eventInputParameters": {
+ "MyConsumer": {
+ "carrierTechnologyParameters" : {

+
+The following example configures the output named as `MyProducer` and associates the input `MyConsumer` with it.
+Note that for the output there are no more paramters (such as host or port), since they are already configured in the associated input
+

+"eventOutputParameters": {
+ "MyProducer": {

+ },
+ "synchronousMode" : true,
+ "synchronousPeer" : "MyConsumer",
+ "synchronousTimeout" : 500
+ }
+}
+----
+
+
+=== REST Server Stand-alone, multi input
+
+Any number of input/output pairs for REST servers can be configured.
+For instance, we can configure an input `FirstConsumer` with output `FirstProducer` and an input `SecondConsumer` with output `SecondProducer`.
+Important is that there is always one pair of input/output.
+
+
+=== REST Server Stand-alone in Servlet
+
+If APEX is executed as a servlet, e.g. inside Tomcat, the configuration becomes easier since the plugin can now use Tomcat as the REST server.
+In this scenario, there are not parameters (port, host, etc.) and the key `standalone` must not be used (or set to false).
+
+For the Tomcat configuration, we need to add the REST server plugin, e.g.
+
+[source%nowrap,xml]
+----
+<servlet>
+ ...
+ <init-param>
+ ...
+ <param-value>org.onap.policy.apex.plugins.event.carrier.restserver</param-value>
+ </init-param>
+ ...
+</servlet>

+== Websocket (WS) IO
+
+APEX supports the Websockets as input as well as output.
+WS IO is supported by the APEX Websocket plugin.
+This carrier technology does only support uni-directional communication.
+APEX will not send events to a Websocket input and any event sent to a Websocket output will result in an error log.
+
+The input can be configured as client (APEX connects to an existing Websocket server) or server (APEX starts a Websocket server).
+The same applies to the output.
+Input and output can both use a client or a server configuration, or separate configurations (input as client and output as server, input as server and output as client).
+Each configuration should use its own dedicated port to avoid any communication loops.
+The configuration of a Websocket client is the same for input and output.
+The configuration of a Websocket server is the same for input and output.
+
+
+=== Websocket Client
+
+APEX will connect to a given Websocket server.
+As input, it will receive events from the server but not send any events.
+As output, it will send events to the server and any event received from the server will result in an error log.

+
+== BCP: Websocket Configuration
+
+The probably best is to configure APEX for Websocket servers for input (ingress, consume) and output (egress, produce) interfaces.
+This means that APEX will start Websocket servers on named ports and wait for clients to connect.
+Advantage: once APEX is running all connectivity infrastructure is running as well.
+Consequence: if APEX is not running, everyone else is in the dark, too.
+
+The best protocol to be used is JSON string.
+Each event on any interface is then a string with a JSON encoding.
+JSON string is a little bit slower than byte code, but we doubt that this will be noticeable.
+A further advantage of JSON strings over Websockets with APEX starting the servers: it is very easy to connect web browsers to such a system.
+Simple connect the web browser to the APEX sockets and send/read JSON strings.
+
+Once APEX is started you simply connect Websocket clients to it, and send/receive event.
+When APEX is terminated, the Websocket servers go down, and the clients will be disconnected.
+APEX does not (yet) support auto-client reconnect nor WAMP, so clients might need to be restarted or reconnected manually after an APEX boot.

+== Websockets
+
+Websocket is a protocol to run sockets of HTTP.
+Since it in essence a socket, the connection is realized between a server (waiting for connections) and a client (connecting to a server).
+Server/client separation is only important for connection establishment, once connected, everyone can send/receive on the same socket (as any standard socket would allow).
+
+Standard Websocket implementations are simple, no publish/subscribe and no special event handling.
+Most servers simply send all incoming messages to all connections.
+There is a PubSub definition on top of Websocket called link:http://wamp-proto.org/[WAMP].
+APEX does not support WAMP at the moment.

+This JSR is part of Jave EE 7 standard.
+For Java SE, several implementations exist in open source.
+Since Websockets are a stable standard and simple, most implementations are stable and ready to use.
+A lot of products support Websockets, like Spring, JBoss, Netty, … there are also Kafka extensions for Websockets.

+== Carrier Technologies
+
+Carrier technologies define how APEX receives (input) and sends (output) events.
+They can be used in any combination, using asynchronous or synchronous mode.
+There can also be any number of carrier technologies for the input (consume) and the output (produce) interface.
+
+Supported _input_ technologies are:
+
+- Standard input, read events from the standard input (console), not suitable for APEX background servers
+- File input, read events from a file
+- Kafka, read events from a Kafka system
+- Websockets, read events from a Websocket
+- JMS,
+- REST (synchronous and asynchronous), additionally as client or server
+- Event Requestor, allows reading of events that have been looped back into APEX
+
+
+Supported _output_ technologies are:
+
+- Standard output, write events to the standard output (console), not suitable for APEX background servers
+- File output, write events to a file
+- Kafka, write events to a Kafka system
+- Websockets, write events to a Websocket
+- JMS
+- REST (synchronous and asynchronous), additionally as client or server
+- Event Requestor, allows events to be looped back into APEX
+
+New carrier technologies can be added as plugins to APEX or developed outside APEX and added to an APEX deployment.

+
+== Event Requestor IO
+
+Event Requestor IO does not require a specific plugin, it is supported be default.
+It should only be used with the APEX event protocol.
+
+=== Event Requestor Input
+
+APEX will take events from APEX.
+
+[source%nowrap,json]
+----
+"carrierTechnologyParameters" : {
+ "carrierTechnology": "EVENT_REQUESTOR" // <1>
+}
+----
+<1> set event requestor input
+
+
+=== Event Requestor Output
+
+APEX will write events to APEX.
+
+[source%nowrap,json]
+----
+"carrierTechnologyParameters" : {
+ "carrierTechnology": "EVENT_REQUESTOR" // <1>
+}
+----
+
+=== Peering Event Requestors
+
+When using event requestors, they need to be peered.
+This means an event requestor output needs to be peered (associated) with an event requestor input.
+The following example shows the use of an event requestor with the APEX event protocol and the peering of output and input.
+
+[source%nowrap,json]
+----
+"eventInputParameters": {
+ "EventRequestorConsumer": {
+ "carrierTechnologyParameters": {
+ "carrierTechnology": "EVENT_REQUESTOR" // <1>

+ "eventProtocol": "APEX" // <2>
+ },
+ "eventNameFilter": "InputEvent", // <3>
+ "requestorMode": true, // <4>

+ }
+}
+----
+
+<1> event requestor on a consumer
+<2> with APEX event protocol
+<3> optional filter (best to use a filter to prevent unwanted events on the consumer side)
+<4> activate requestor mode
+<5> the peer to the output (must match the output carrier)
+<6> an optional timeout in milliseconds
+<7> event requestor on a producer
+<8> with APEX event protocol
+<9> optional filter (best to use a filter to prevent unwanted events on the consumer side)
+<10> activate requestor mode
+<11> the peer to the output (must match the input carrier)
