Sample Open eBay Apps event listener project written in JAVA
Summary
This Java Open eBay event listener is implemented with JAXB and Servlet framework. The sample project consists of three components:
1. Open eBay Participant Interface API JAXB Binding - a utility includes an ant build script: codeBuilder.xml which is used to generate java source code using xjc JAXB facility from Open eBay Participant Interface API Schema and create OpeneBayParticipantInterfaceAPI jar file
2. Listener- a web application created with Java Servlet technology which listens for Open eBay Subscription and AppStart events
3. ListenerTest- a standalone java program which is used to test Listener without going to eBay to trigger the events

- Specify your Selling Manager Developer key set and your client application URL as below in the ${SellingManagerApplicationListener_HOME}Listener/WebContent/WEB-INF/configuration.xml file:
<entry key="CERT"></entry>
<entry key="PUBLICCERTFILENAME"></entry>
<entry key="CLIENTAPPLICATIONURL">YOUR APPLICATION URL</entry>
- Build OpeneBayServiceListener project by navigating to ${SellingManagerApplicationListener_HOME}/OpeneBayServiceListener and typing the following command:
ant -f build.xml. This will create a OpeneBayServiceListener.war and save it in ${SellingManagerApplicationListener_HOME} directory
