A WebHook named ‘Jeff’

Jeff as a webhook

PROBLEM: Help people understand how cool webhooks are.
PROBLEM: Find out when there’s new content on a site.

SOLUTION: Put a webhook into the site’s search indexing tool – SOLR.
SOLUTION: Custom SOLR Token Filter.

The code, while JAVA and therefore evil, is trivial.

WHY?

Every cool web app (sooner or later) has some cool content in it. So you add a search engine. When your users want to build mashups with that content, you add webhooks to that engine. And you’re done.

Webhooks hitting a remote server, shown in Apache log.
Starting point: http://e-mats.org/2008/06/writing-a-solr-analysis-filter-plugin/

GOTCHAS:
JAVA – Evil and Stupid
Java classpath (on Mac) – also Evil and Stupid
Java permissions (to connect to remote servers) – http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5309619

WHERE IS THIS GOING TO LIVE?

 

Webhooks coming to NASA soon...

FINAL TAKEAWAY: Fitz was right – everything should be HTTP.

    Once you register a webhook url with Shopify we will issue a HTTP Post to the url specified and pass on the Order as an XML document. Don't worry, if your server is down we will simply try again until your server confirms to us that it has successfully received the notification.
