CloudEventV10Event definition

David Zeidman

On the webhook tutorial it gives the CloudEventV10Event class definition. Specifically it defines the source property as a Uri. However the documentation (CloudEvents schema on the overview page) then goes on to say that the source is a string and an example of which is "OAWVIVCLINWGMTCQJN".


However when I attempt to create such an object for manually testing my endpoint, It says that that value is not a valid URI (which it is not).


Not sure what gives here. Should it be a string or a URI?

Hi David,


It's a string as per the example ("OAWUEUDHKJZVOR32GJKS2LLXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"), not a URI.


The spec on source seems to be fairly loose, with examples including - but not limited to - URNs and UUIDs:

 

• Internet-wide unique URI with a DNS authority.
https://github.com/cloudevents
    mailto:cncf-wg-serverless@lists.cncf.io
• Universally-unique URN with a UUID:
    urn:uuid:6e8bc430-9c3a-11d9-9669-0800200c9a66
• Application-specific identifiers

    /sensors/tn-1234567/alerts

Hi Steve,


I figured it was a string but Blackbaud's class definition should be updated in that case as it is defined in their tutorial code (bottom of step 1) as a Uri.


Thanks

You mean this?:

 

    <span>// Event source</span><br/>    <span>[</span><span>JsonProperty</span><span>(</span>PropertyName <span>=</span> <span>"source"</span><span>)</span><span>]</span><br/>    <span>public</span> <u><span>Uri</span></u> Source <span>{</span> <span>get</span><span>;</span> <span>set</span><span>;</span> <span>}</span>

Yes, expect it should be:

 

    <span>public</span> <u><span>string</span></u> Source <span>{</span> <span>get</span><span>;</span> <span>set</span><span>;</span> <span>}</span>

in the general case to accommodate the broad spec.

Yes, exactly that.
