<title>E2E acknowledgment</title>
<description>&lt;h2 id=&quot;e2e-acknowledgement-using-eclipse-ditto&quot;&gt;E2E acknowledgement using Eclipse Ditto&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By adding the new &lt;a href=&quot;basic-acknowledgements.html&quot;&gt;acknowledgements feature&lt;/a&gt; to Ditto, it is now possible to provide an end to end QoS (quality of service) with level 1.
Previously the &lt;a href=&quot;architecture-services-connectivity.html&quot;&gt;connectivity service&lt;/a&gt; of Ditto did accept all incoming messages immediately as soon as it received the message.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This behaviour can now be controlled by a Ditto header called &lt;a href=&quot;basic-acknowledgements.html#requesting-acks&quot;&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;requested-acks&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this blog post I will provide a few examples for how to use this new feature in the following scenarios:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Device publishes a change of its state and doesn’t care about whether the event regarding this change will be received by any subscriber or not.&lt;br /&gt;
This is the &lt;a href=&quot;#scenario-1---fire-and-forget&quot;&gt;fire and forget&lt;/a&gt; scenario.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Device publishes a change of its state and wants to be sure it is persisted in Ditto.&lt;br /&gt;
This is the &lt;a href=&quot;#scenario-2---processed-in-ditto&quot;&gt;processed in Ditto&lt;/a&gt; scenario.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Device publishes a change of its state and wants to be sure an application connected to Eclipse Ditto will receive the event regarding this change of the state.&lt;br /&gt;
This is the &lt;a href=&quot;#scenario-3---notification-scenario&quot;&gt;notification&lt;/a&gt; scenario.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Device publishes a change of its state and wants to be notified when a subscriber was not able to receive the event regarding this change.&lt;br /&gt;
This is the &lt;a href=&quot;#scenario-4---tracked-notification-scenario&quot;&gt;tracked notification&lt;/a&gt; scenario.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Device sends a live message and wants to be sure that it will eventually receive a response.&lt;br /&gt;
This is the &lt;a href=&quot;#scenario-5---long-running-live-message-scenario&quot;&gt;long running live message&lt;/a&gt; scenario.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Device sends a live message and wants to either receive the response within a given timeout or never.&lt;br /&gt;
This is the &lt;a href=&quot;#scenario-6---asking-for-required-information-scenario&quot;&gt;asking for required information&lt;/a&gt; scenario.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;scenarios&quot;&gt;Scenarios&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following scenarios all share the same context:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a device sends data/messages via a device connectivity layer (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://eclipse.org/hono/&quot;&gt;Eclipse Hono&lt;/a&gt; or an MQTT broker) to Ditto&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ditto’s &lt;a href=&quot;architecture-services-connectivity.html&quot;&gt;connectivity service&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;consumes the &lt;a href=&quot;protocol-specification.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Protocol&lt;/a&gt; message&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;forwards the message into the Ditto cluster to be processed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;is responsible for technically acknowledging/settling the consumed message at the device connectivity layer / broker
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the strategy of when this is done and with which outcome is handled by the Ditto headers mentioned in the scenarios&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although all scenarios are based on the device sending something (e.g. telemetry data or a message), the
E2E acknowledgement can also be used the other way around when e.g. a backend application sends something to a device.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;scenario-1---fire-and-forget&quot;&gt;Scenario 1 - Fire and Forget&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the simplest scenario of all, since the change can be published in a fire and forget semantics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this scenario the device will send the modification command containing the headers:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;response-required=false&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;requested-acks=[]&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example &lt;a href=&quot;protocol-specification.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Protocol&lt;/a&gt; message:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;topic&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;org.eclipse.ditto/my-thing/things/twin/commands/modify&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;headers&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;response-required&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;false&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;requested-acks&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;[]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;path&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;/features/lightSwitch/properties/status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;on&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this case the connectivity service will immediately acknowledge the incoming message at the messaging system and then continues to process the command.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It doesn’t matter if the command could be processed successfully or if any subscriber received an event for this change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;scenario-2---processed-in-ditto&quot;&gt;Scenario 2 - Processed in Ditto&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this scenario the device wants to be sure its change will be properly persisted in Ditto.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The command needs to define the following headers:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;response-required=false&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;requested-acks=[&quot;twin-persisted&quot;]&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example &lt;a href=&quot;protocol-specification.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Protocol&lt;/a&gt; message:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;topic&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;org.eclipse.ditto/my-thing/things/twin/commands/modify&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;headers&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;response-required&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;false&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;requested-acks&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;twin-persisted&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;path&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;/features/lightSwitch/properties/status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;on&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this case the connectivity service will wait until the modification will be properly persisted in Ditto before acknowledging the incoming message at the messaging system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the device published this command for example via an AMQP broker (with a QoS 1 “at least once” semantic),
this will cause the broker to redeliver the command to Ditto if the acknowledgment fails.&lt;br /&gt;
Please be aware that a redelivery will only be requested for the following error status codes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;408&lt;/code&gt; (Request timed out)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;424&lt;/code&gt; (Dependency Failure)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All kinds of &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;5xx&lt;/code&gt; status codes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this scenario it does matter if the command could be processed successfully, but it’s still not relevant if any subscriber received an event for this change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;scenario-3---notification-scenario&quot;&gt;Scenario 3 - Notification scenario&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this scenario the device wants to be sure another system will be notified about the change of its state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This could be for example an alarming system which wants to be sure a backend application receives the information that the alarm was triggered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A prerequisite for this is that any kind of connection exists that publishes the event to the backend application and declares a user defined acknowledgement label.
This can be a &lt;a href=&quot;httpapi-protocol-bindings-websocket.html&quot;&gt;WebSocket session&lt;/a&gt; or any kind of Ditto Connection types which can be found &lt;a href=&quot;connectivity-overview.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this example we expect the event to be forwarded by an &lt;a href=&quot;connectivity-protocol-bindings-http.html&quot;&gt;HTTP connection&lt;/a&gt;
which declared the following acknowledgement label as
&lt;a href=&quot;basic-connections.html#target-issued-acknowledgement-label&quot;&gt;issued acknowledgement of the target&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;d45d4522-142e-4057-ae87-8969343a3ddc:backend-processed&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The UUID prefix in this case is the ID of the HTTP connection and the&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;backend-process&lt;/code&gt; part is a custom label, defined by the user.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The command needs to define the following headers:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;response-required=false&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;requested-acks=[&quot;d45d4522-142e-4057-ae87-8969343a3ddc:backend-processed&quot;]&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;timeout=30s&lt;/code&gt; (optional. Default is 10s.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example &lt;a href=&quot;protocol-specification.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Protocol&lt;/a&gt; message:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;topic&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;org.eclipse.ditto/my-thing/things/twin/commands/modify&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;headers&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;response-required&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;false&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;requested-acks&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;d45d4522-142e-4057-ae87-8969343a3ddc:backend-processed&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;],&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;timeout&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;30s&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;path&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;/features/alarm/properties/status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;on&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this case the connectivity service will wait until the HTTP request, which forwards the event regarding the thing change,
will be finished before acknowledging the incoming message at the messaging system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The status code of the HTTP response will in this case determine if the message will be acknowledged successfully or not and if a redelivery will be requested or not.&lt;br /&gt;
All kinds of &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;2xx&lt;/code&gt; status codes will lead to a successful acknowledgement at the messaging system.&lt;br /&gt;
All other status codes will lead to a failed acknowledgement at the messaging system and for the following status codes a redelivery will be requested:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;408&lt;/code&gt; (Request timed out)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;424&lt;/code&gt; (Dependency Failure)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All kinds of &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;5xx&lt;/code&gt; status codes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this scenario it is ensured a specified subscriber will receive an event for this change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;scenario-4---tracked-notification-scenario&quot;&gt;Scenario 4 - Tracked notification scenario&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this scenario the device wants to know when a system could not be notified about the change of its state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This could be for example an alarming system which wants to be sure a backend application receives the information,
or if not: tries to send an SMS as notification.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This scenario is mostly like scenario 3, but needs to set the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;response-required&lt;/code&gt; header to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;true&lt;/code&gt; and it’s required
to &lt;a href=&quot;basic-connections.html#source-reply-target&quot;&gt;configure the reply-target of the source&lt;/a&gt; to also expect “nack” responses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example &lt;a href=&quot;protocol-specification.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Protocol&lt;/a&gt; message:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;topic&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;org.eclipse.ditto/my-thing/things/twin/commands/modify&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;headers&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;response-required&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;requested-acks&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;d45d4522-142e-4057-ae87-8969343a3ddc:backend-processed&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;path&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;/features/alarm/properties/status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;on&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this case the device will receive an acknowledgement response containing the status code and payload of the response of the backend application.&lt;br /&gt;
Based on this the device can decide how to handle the situation.&lt;br /&gt;
It is suggested to publish the modification command with QoS 0 (“at most once” semantics) in this case because the
device handles the result of the E2E acknowledgement. With QoS 1 (“at least once” semantics) brokers would usually redeliver the message to Ditto.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the HTTP endpoint of the backend application responds with the following response:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;headers:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&quot;content-type&quot;: &quot;application/json&quot;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;body:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;errorCode&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;notification.smartphone.failed&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;message&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;Could not notify smartphone.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;status code: &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;424&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The response received at the device would look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;headers&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;response-required&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;false&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;requested-acks&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;d45d4522-142e-4057-ae87-8969343a3ddc:backend-processed&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;],&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;timeout&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;30s&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;content-type&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;application/json&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;path&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;/&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;errorCode&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;notification.smartphone.failed&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;message&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;Could not notify smartphone.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;424&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;scenario-5---long-running-live-message-scenario&quot;&gt;Scenario 5 - Long running live message scenario&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this scenario the device is going to ask for an information which it needs eventually.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let’s say the device asks for the endpoint where it should download the new firmware from.&lt;br /&gt;
It’s not required that this response arrives within a given time. It’s just required to eventually arrive at the device
and after it was received the device can signal the user, that it is ready to download the firmware.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The headers of the live message should have the following values:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;response-required=true&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;requested-acks=[&quot;live-response&quot;]&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example &lt;a href=&quot;protocol-specification.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Protocol&lt;/a&gt; message:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;topic&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;org.eclipse.ditto/my-thing/things/live/messages/firmware&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;headers&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;response-required&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;requested-acks&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;live-response&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;],&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;content-type&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;text/plain&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;timeout&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;5s&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;path&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;/outbox/messages/firmware&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;firmware.url.query&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By requesting the acknowledgement &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;live-response&lt;/code&gt; the connectivity service will wait until the response for the live message arrived
for 5s before acknowledging the incoming message at the broker and will request a redelivery if the response did not arrive within this timeout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will repeat until either the broker discards the message or the response arrives in the specified timeout.
That way it is guaranteed that the device will eventually receive the response.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;scenario-6---asking-for-required-information-scenario&quot;&gt;Scenario 6 - Asking for required information scenario&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this scenario the device is going to ask for an information which it needs right now to proceed with its current task.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let’s say the device asks if it should allow a car with a license plate it detected to drive on the property by opening the barrier.
It could be possible to ask for that information, so the barrier opens automatically, but providing a fallback mechanism
like entering a code directly at the device if this response does not arrive within time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The headers of the live message should have the following values:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;response-required=true&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;requested-acks=[]&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example &lt;a href=&quot;protocol-specification.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Protocol&lt;/a&gt; message:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;topic&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;org.eclipse.ditto/my-thing/things/live/messages/car-enter&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;headers&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;response-required&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;requested-acks&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;[],&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;content-type&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;text/plain&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;timeout&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;5s&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;path&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;/outbox/messages/car-enter&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;FN IB 1337&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By requesting explicitly not requesting any acknowledgement but still requiring a response, the connectivity service will
immediately acknowledge the incoming message at the broker. The device will then either receive the response within the specified timeout or never.
So the device can provide its alternative options to open the barrier after 5 seconds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;we-embrace-your-feedback&quot;&gt;We embrace your feedback&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope I could demonstrate the power of the new acknowledgement feature properly and could make it clear how it can be used.
Maybe you did recognize some of your use cases in the given examples or maybe you have another use case which can or cannot be solved by this feature.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We would love to get your feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Asynchronous Client Creation in Ditto Java Client 1.3.0</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Before &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/eclipse/ditto-clients/tree/master/java&quot;&gt;Ditto Java Client&lt;/a&gt; 1.3.0,
a client object connects to a configured Ditto back-end during its creation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;c1&quot;&gt;// create a client object and block until it connects to the Ditto back-end.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;final&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;DittoClient&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;client&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;DittoClients&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;newInstance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;messagingProvider&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are several problems with the approach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The calling thread blocks waiting for IO, namely the authentication process
and establishment of a websocket.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If the client is configured to reconnect, then an incorrect end-ponit configuration
makes the factory method block forever.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If the client is not configured to reconnect, then the factory method will throw
an exception. But it is not possible to give the client reference to the exception
handler, since the client creation did not complete. Consequently the exception handler
has no simple way to free all resources allocated for the client.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.3.0 addresses these problems by introducing an asynchronous client creation interface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;final&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;DittoClients&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;static&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;DisconnectedDittoClient&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;newDisconnectedInstance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;MessagingProvider&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;mp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;interface&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;DisconnectedDittoClient&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CompletionStage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;DittoClient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;connect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;destroy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The method &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;DittoClients.newDisconnectedInstance(MessagingProvider)&lt;/code&gt; creates a &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;DisconnectedDittoClient&lt;/code&gt;
object. The &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;DisconnectedDittoClient&lt;/code&gt; has references to all resources allocated for the client and
can free them via the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;destroy()&lt;/code&gt; method. The &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;DisconnectedDittoClient&lt;/code&gt; object offers no method to
interact with the Ditto API. By calling &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;connect()&lt;/code&gt;, one obtains a future that yields a familiar
&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;DittoClient&lt;/code&gt; object upon completion. One might use the asynchronous client creation interface thus:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;final&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;DisconnectedDittoClient&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;disconnectedClient&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;DittoClients&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;newDisconnectedInstance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;messagingProvider&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;disconnectedClient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;connect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;thenAccept&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;startUsingDittoClient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;exceptionally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;exception&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;-&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;handleConnectionFailure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;exception&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;disconnectedClient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;destroy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;null&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;});&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The asynchronous client creation interface has the following advantages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The calling thread does not block.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even if configured to reconnect, the user can receive connection errors via
the connection error handler in &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;MessagingConfiguration&lt;/code&gt; and shut down the client
at will.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When initial reconnection is disabled, the method &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;DisconnectedDittoClient.connect()&lt;/code&gt;
returns a failed future on connection error. It is possible to reference the
&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;DittoDisconnectedClient&lt;/code&gt; object in the future’s error handler, where the client can
be destroyed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;docimage&quot; src=&quot;images/ditto.svg&quot; alt=&quot;Ditto&quot; style=&quot;max-width: 500px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

<title>Announcing Eclipse Ditto Release 1.3.0</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Today, the Ditto team is happy to announce the next feature update of Ditto &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;1.x&lt;/code&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Eclipse Ditto 1.3.0&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.3.0 focuses on the following areas:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Implicit/automatic creation of digital twins (things)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use response of HTTP push connections as live message response&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“Raw” payload mapper for “pass-through” connectivity scenarios not affecting the twin&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please have a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;release_notes_130.html&quot;&gt;1.3.0 release notes&lt;/a&gt; for a more detailed information on the release.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, some bugs were fixed which are not backported to Ditto 1.2.x - it is recommended to update to Ditto 1.3.0 right
away and skip 1.2.x.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;artifacts&quot;&gt;Artifacts&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new Java artifacts have been published at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/ditto/&quot;&gt;Eclipse Maven repository&lt;/a&gt;
as well as &lt;a href=&quot;https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/ditto/&quot;&gt;Maven central&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also the &lt;a href=&quot;client-sdk-java.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Java client&lt;/a&gt;’s artifacts were published to Maven central.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Docker images have been pushed to Docker Hub:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://hub.docker.com/r/eclipse/ditto-policies/&quot;&gt;eclipse/ditto-policies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;kubernetes-ready-helm-chart&quot;&gt;Kubernetes ready: Helm chart&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to run Eclipse Ditto in a Kubernetes environment, best rely on the official
&lt;a href=&quot;https://hub.helm.sh/charts/eclipse-iot/ditto&quot;&gt;Helm chart&lt;/a&gt; and deploy Ditto via the Helm package manager.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

<title>Announcing Eclipse Ditto Release 1.1.0</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Today, approximately 4 months after Eclipse Ditto’s &lt;a href=&quot;2019-12-12-release-announcement-100.html&quot;&gt;1.0.0&lt;/a&gt; release,

&lt;li&gt;Use of Java 11 for running Ditto containers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Deprecation of API version 1 (authorization via &lt;a href=&quot;basic-acl.html&quot;&gt;ACL&lt;/a&gt; mechanism)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use of CBOR as cluster internal replacement for JSON serialization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Further improvements on increasing throughput&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please have a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;release_notes_110.html&quot;&gt;1.1.0 release notes&lt;/a&gt; for a more detailed information on the release.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;artifacts&quot;&gt;Artifacts&lt;/h2&gt;

<title>Digital twins of devices connected via LoRaWAN to TTN</title>
<description>&lt;figure&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;docimage&quot; src=&quot;images/2020-04-16-Logo_TTVC_color.png&quot; alt=&quot;TTVC logo&quot; style=&quot;max-width:300px;padding-left:1em;float:right&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A workshop of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/article/the-things-virtual-conference&quot;&gt;2020 The Things Virtual Conference&lt;/a&gt;
on April 16th 2020 is/was about how to connect Eclipse Ditto to “The Things Network” via TTN’s MQTT broker in order to
automatically update digital twins of devices connected via LoRaWAN to the TTN backend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can find the slides &lt;a href=&quot;slides/2020_04_16-ttn-virtual-conference/index.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This blogpost helps setting up this kind of connection and shall also be used as a step-by-step tutorial during
the workshop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/D33JrN2RWiI&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;requirements&quot;&gt;Requirements&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ll need:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;an operating system capable of running Docker (best use a Linux distribution)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;4 CPU cores and 4GB of RAM are advised (less can work, but the Ditto cluster startup is more fragile then)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to have installed: &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;curl&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;git&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, you’ll need a TTN account and an existing application with at least one device if you want to follow the hands-on
part and want to create digital twins of your devices connected to TTN.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;preparation&quot;&gt;Preparation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please follow these initial preparation steps (if you don’t already have Docker and Docker Compose installed).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you have access to a Kubernetes cluster and already have worked with &lt;a href=&quot;https://helm.sh&quot;&gt;Helm&lt;/a&gt; (the package manager
for Kubernetes), you can alternatively install Ditto via its official
&lt;a href=&quot;https://hub.helm.sh/charts/eclipse-iot/ditto&quot;&gt;Helm chart&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;install-docker&quot;&gt;Install Docker&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Assumption: You’re running a Debian or Ubuntu based Linux distribution containing the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;apt&lt;/code&gt; package manager.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;sudo &lt;/span&gt;apt install docker.io
&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;sudo &lt;/span&gt;service docker start
&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;sudo &lt;/span&gt;usermod &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-a&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-G&lt;/span&gt; docker &amp;lt;your-username&amp;gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Logout and login again so that your user gets the “docker” group.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;install-docker-compose&quot;&gt;Install Docker Compose&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/&quot;&gt;Follow the installation guide here&lt;/a&gt;, in short:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;sudo &lt;/span&gt;curl &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-L&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.4/docker-compose-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;$(&lt;/span&gt;uname &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;$(&lt;/span&gt;uname &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-o&lt;/span&gt; /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;sudo &lt;/span&gt;chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;clone-ditto-codebase&quot;&gt;Clone Ditto codebase&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is required to get the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;docker-compose.yaml&lt;/code&gt; file and other resources required to run Ditto with Docker Compose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;git clone &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;--depth&lt;/span&gt; 1 https://github.com/eclipse/ditto.git
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;startup-ditto-cluster&quot;&gt;Startup Ditto cluster&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Change directory into the just cloned git repository - optionally adjust the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT&lt;/code&gt; variable to where
Ditto is reachable after the start:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;cd &lt;/span&gt;ditto/deployment/docker/
&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;export &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;80
docker-compose up &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Verify that Ditto is running:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;docker-compose ps
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The output should look similar like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt; Name Command State Ports

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Verify that your Ditto cluster is healthy. Please give it ~1 minute in order to properly start up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-u&lt;/span&gt; devops:foobar http://localhost:&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;${&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;/status/health
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The returned output should start with:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;label&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;roles&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;UP&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If your Ditto cluster has trouble starting up (e.g. because you only have less CPU cores than advised), try the following
startup command instead:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;docker-compose start mongodb&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; sleep 30&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; docker-compose start policies things&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; sleep 60&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; docker-compose start concierge&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; sleep 60&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; docker-compose start things-search&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; sleep 60&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; docker-compose start connectivity&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; sleep 60&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; docker-compose up &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;configure-connection-to-ttn-mqtt-broker&quot;&gt;Configure connection to TTN MQTT broker&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Things Network provides a built in MQTT broker which you can connect to using your TTN application credentials.
For a more detailed description on that topic, please refer to the
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/applications/mqtt/quick-start.html&quot;&gt;TTN MQTT Quick Start&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eclipse Ditto can establish connections to MQTT brokers. This is a schematic picture of what we now will do:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;docimage&quot; src=&quot;images/../slides/images/ttn-ditto-via-mqtt.png&quot; alt=&quot;TTN to Ditto via MQTT&quot; style=&quot;max-width:600px;padding-left:1em&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to connect to your own TTN application, perform the following steps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can find the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;AppId&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; (application ID) and &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;AppKey&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; (access key) in your TTN console of your application.
For &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;Region&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;, e.g. choose &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;'eu'&lt;/code&gt; when your application is in handled by the Handler ‘ttn-handler-eu’.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please export your application’s credentials locally to environment variables:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;export &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;TTN_REGION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'&amp;lt;Region&amp;gt;'&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;export &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;TTN_APP_ID&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'&amp;lt;AppID&amp;gt;'&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;export &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;TTN_APP_KEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'&amp;lt;AppKey&amp;gt;'&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After having done that, you can already create the connection of Ditto to the TTN MQTT broker:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-X&lt;/span&gt; POST &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-u&lt;/span&gt; devops:foobar &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-H&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'Content-Type: application/json'&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'{

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Explanation - what is done here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;using curl with the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;devops&lt;/code&gt; (admin) user and its initial password &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;foobar&lt;/code&gt; we create a connection of type &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;mqtt&lt;/code&gt;
(you can find further information on that in Ditto’s &lt;a href=&quot;connectivity-protocol-bindings-mqtt.html&quot;&gt;MQTT docs&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;we use the TTN application credentials in the configured &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;uri&quot;&lt;/code&gt;, connect via plain TCP
(SSL is also possible but in this case a little more complicated as the server certificate of the TTN MQTT broker
would have to be imported)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;we add an entry in &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;sources&quot;&lt;/code&gt;:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;defining the MQTT topic (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;addresses&quot;&lt;/code&gt;) to subscribe to&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;specifying in which &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;authorizationContext&quot;&lt;/code&gt; messages from this connection shall be executed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;defining in the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;enforcement&quot;&lt;/code&gt; that, based on the MQTT topic, a device may only update the Ditto twin having the same name&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;declaring that a custom payload mapping shall be applied for each incoming message&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;in the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;mappingDefinitions&quot;&lt;/code&gt; we define the previously used “ttn-demo-mapping” as JavaScript based mapping:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;only an “incoming” script is defined as we don’t handle downstream messages to TTN in this example&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;when you want to understand the script in more depth, please take a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;#javascript-payload-mapping-script-in-detail&quot;&gt;details about it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;alert alert-success&quot; role=&quot;alert&quot;&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;fa fa-check-square-o&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;Tip:&lt;/b&gt; As you have other custom &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;payload_fields&lt;/code&gt; for your TTN devices, please adjust the script
if you want to see the device’s custom payload fields in your Ditto twins.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;create-a-common-policy-for-the-twins-to-be-created&quot;&gt;Create a common policy for the twins to be created&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eclipse Ditto secures each API access to the managed twins by applying authorization of the authenticated user.&lt;br /&gt;
Those “rules” which authenticated user may access which twins are defined in &lt;a href=&quot;basic-policy.html&quot;&gt;Policies&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to proceed with our scenario, we create a single Policy which shall be used for all twins we create in a later
step:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-X&lt;/span&gt; PUT &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-u&lt;/span&gt; ditto:ditto &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-H&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'Content-Type: application/json'&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'{

&lt;li&gt;we create a new Policy with the ID &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;org.eclipse.ditto.ttn.demo:twin-policy&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;it contains 2 entries:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;USER&quot;&lt;/code&gt;: this Policy entry contains the authorization information of the user of the twin APIs (authenticated via the contained “nginx” acting as reverse proxy).
This user may READ+WRITE the things (twins), this created policy and may also send and receive messages.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;TTN&quot;&lt;/code&gt;: this Policy entry contains the authorization information of the connection to the TTN MQTT broker (the subject was configured as &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&quot;authorizationContext&quot;&lt;/code&gt; when we created the connection.
This connection may only WRITE (update) the things (twins).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;create-digital-twins&quot;&gt;Create digital twins&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now we have everything in place in order to create digital twins for our devices connected to TTN.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please export all device ids you want to create digital twins for as comma separated environment variable:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;export &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;TTN_DEVICE_IDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'&amp;lt;comma-separated-list-of-your-device-ids&amp;gt;'&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After having done that, we can already create the twins in Ditto as the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;ditto&lt;/code&gt; user:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;for &lt;/span&gt;dev_id &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;in&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;${&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;TTN_DEVICE_IDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;//,/ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;c&quot;&gt;# call your procedure/other scripts here below&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;Creating digital twin with Thing ID: org.eclipse.ditto.ttn.demo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;$dev_id&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;
curl &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-X&lt;/span&gt; PUT &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-u&lt;/span&gt; ditto:ditto &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-H&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'Content-Type: application/json'&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'{
&quot;policyId&quot;: &quot;org.eclipse.ditto.ttn.demo:twin-policy&quot;
}'&lt;/span&gt; http://localhost:&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;${&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;/api/2/things/org.eclipse.ditto.ttn.demo:&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;$dev_id&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Explanation - what is done here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;we split the passed in &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;TTN_DEVICE_IDS&lt;/code&gt; environment variable by &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;,&lt;/code&gt; and iterate over all contained device ids&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;for each device ID we create a new Thing (twin) referencing the already previously created Policy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;access-your-digital-twins-via-api&quot;&gt;Access your digital twins via API&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Congratulations, if you have done it so far your TTN devices do now have digital twin representations in Eclipse Ditto.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;alert alert-success&quot; role=&quot;alert&quot;&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;fa fa-check-square-o&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;Tip:&lt;/b&gt; Install the command line tool &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;jq&lt;/code&gt; and pipe the output of the below &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;curl&lt;/code&gt; commands to it in order to get
prettified and colored JSON&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;alert alert-info&quot; role=&quot;alert&quot;&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;fa fa-info-circle&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; Alternatively to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;curl&lt;/code&gt;, you may also use the locally deployed swagger-ui at http://localhost:${DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT}/apidoc/
in order to try out Ditto’s HTTP API - &lt;em&gt;make sure to select&lt;/em&gt; &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;/api/2 - local Ditto&lt;/code&gt; in the ‘Servers’
section - when asked for credentials, use username ‘ditto’ and password ‘ditto’&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can now, for example, use Ditto’s HTTP APIs in order&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to retrieve the latest reported values: &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;curl -u ditto:ditto http://localhost:${DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT}/api/2/things/org.eclipse.ditto.ttn.demo:&amp;lt;dev_id&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to get a live stream of updates to the twins using SSE (Server Sent Events): &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;curl --http2 -u ditto:ditto -H 'Accept:text/event-stream' -N http://localhost:${DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT}/api/2/things&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to list all available twins via the search API: &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;curl -u ditto:ditto http://localhost:${DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT}/api/2/search/things&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;alternatively, use your browser and open http://localhost:${DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT}/api/2/search/things&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;when asked for credentials, use username “ditto” and password “ditto”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;formulate a search query, e.g. only searching for twins with a temperature above 24°, sorted by the last modification, the most recent first
to get the most active twin as first result:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;curl -u ditto:ditto &quot;http://localhost:${DITTO_EXTERNAL_PORT}/api/2/search/things?filter=gt(features/temperature/properties/value,24.0)&amp;amp;option=sort(-_modified),size(5)&amp;amp;fields=thingId,policyId,attributes,features,_modified,_revision&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;which-other-possibilities-do-we-now-have&quot;&gt;Which other possibilities do we now have?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now you have all the possibilities Eclipse Ditto as digital twin framework provides, e.g.:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;directly use your device’s data in a web application consuming Ditto’s HTTP API&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;directly use your device’s data in a mobile app using Ditto’s bidirectional &lt;a href=&quot;httpapi-protocol-bindings-websocket.html&quot;&gt;WebSocket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;make use of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/eclpise/ditto-clients/&quot;&gt;Eclipse Ditto Java or JavaScript clients&lt;/a&gt; which also use the WebSocket to integrate your device’s data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;create another connection (optionally also applying JavaScript based payload mapping)
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;connectivity-protocol-bindings-kafka2.html&quot;&gt;Apache Kafka&lt;/a&gt; and forward all the modifications made to your devices to there&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;or using &lt;a href=&quot;connectivity-protocol-bindings-http.html&quot;&gt;HTTP push&lt;/a&gt; in order to call another HTTP API (e.g. insert time series data into an InfluxDB via its HTTP API)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For time reasons we do not go deeper into additional topics, they are possible however, please consult the Ditto
documentation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the WebSocket channel and subscribing for change notifications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;sending downward messages to devices&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;live commands (not retrieving persisted data of devices, but live data)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a more detailed introduction into authentication mechanisms (&lt;a href=&quot;installation-operating.html#openid-connect&quot;&gt;OpenID Connect with OAuth2.0 is possible&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;possibilities to configure your Policies on every resource level, e.g. allowing individuals to only access certain values of a twin&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;and many other things..&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;additional-resources&quot;&gt;Additional resources&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;cleanup-after-the-workshop&quot;&gt;Cleanup after the workshop&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simply perform in the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;ditto/deployment/docker&lt;/code&gt; folder:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;docker-compose down
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And unistall docker + docker-compose (for docker-compose, just remove the downloaded file) again, if you don’t need it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;javascript-payload-mapping-script-in-detail&quot;&gt;JavaScript payload mapping script in detail&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similar to the TTN console’s decoding/converting capabilities of “Payload Formats” of an TTN application, Ditto is able
to apply a custom JavaScript function for each consumed message.&lt;br /&gt;
That is necessary in order to convert the received data into a &lt;a href=&quot;protocol-overview.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Protocol&lt;/a&gt; message
including the JSON hierarchy of a so called &lt;a href=&quot;basic-thing.html&quot;&gt;Thing&lt;/a&gt; being the representation of a digital twin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the above injected JavaScript payload mapping script is formatted in a single line, this is the script we used pretty
formatted, including the jsdoc of the provided function and some other inline comments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you need to adjust the script in order to use your own &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;payload_fields&lt;/code&gt;, please replace all newlines with &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;\n&lt;/code&gt; and
escape the single quotes &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;'&lt;/code&gt; in the script with the following replacement: &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;'&quot;'&quot;'&lt;/code&gt;. Otherwise the single quotes won’t get
correctly escaped in the bash. You can remove the comments before making a single line of the script.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-javascript highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cm&quot;&gt;/**
* Maps the passed parameters to a Ditto Protocol message.
* @param {Object.&amp;lt;string, string&amp;gt;} headers - The headers Object containing all received header values
* @param {string} [textPayload] - The String to be mapped

* @param {string} [contentType] - The received Content-Type, e.g. &quot;application/json&quot;
* @returns {(DittoProtocolMessage|Array&amp;lt;DittoProtocolMessage&amp;gt;)} dittoProtocolMessage(s) -

*/&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;function&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nx&quot;&gt;mapToDittoProtocolMsg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nx&quot;&gt;headers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;

<title>Announcing Eclipse Ditto Release 1.0.0</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Today the Eclipse Ditto is thrilled to announce the availability of Eclipse Ditto’s first major release
&lt;a href=&quot;https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/iot.ditto/releases/1.0.0&quot;&gt;1.0.0&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;maturity&quot;&gt;Maturity&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The initial code contribution was done in October 2017, 2 years later and 2 releases
(&lt;a href=&quot;2018-11-28-release-announcement-080.html&quot;&gt;0.8.0&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;2019-07-10-release-announcement-090.html&quot;&gt;0.9.0&lt;/a&gt;) later, we
think its time to graduate from the Eclipse “incubation” phase and officially declare the project as mature.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent adoptions and contributions from our community show us that Eclipse Ditto solves problems which also other
companies have. Adopters add Eclipse Ditto as a central part of their own IoT platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;api-stability&quot;&gt;API stability&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having reached 1.0.0, some additional promises towards “API stability” do apply:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&quot;http-api-stability&quot;&gt;HTTP API stability&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ditto uses schema versioning (currently schema version 1 and 2) at the HTTP API level in order to being able to
evolve APIs.
It is backward compatible to the prior versions 0.8.0 and 0.9.0.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&quot;json-api-stability&quot;&gt;JSON API stability&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ditto kept its main JSON APIs (regarding things, policies and search) backwards compatible to 0.8.0 and 0.9.0 releases.
The JSON format of “connections” was changed since 0.9.0 and will from 1.0.0 on be kept backwards compatible as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&quot;java-api-stability&quot;&gt;Java API stability&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Java APIs will for the 1.x release be kept backwards compatible, so only non-breaking additions to the APIs will be done. This is enforced by a Maven tooling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following Java modules are treated as API for which compatibility is enforced:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ditto-json&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ditto-model-*&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ditto-signals-*&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ditto-protocol-adapter&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ditto-utils&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ditto-client&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;scalability&quot;&gt;Scalability&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The focus on the 0.9.0 and 1.0.0 releases regarding non-functionals were laid on horizontal scalability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With Eclipse Ditto 1.0.0 we are confident to face production grade scalability requirements being capable of handling
millions of managed things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;changelog&quot;&gt;Changelog&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main changes compared to the last release, &lt;a href=&quot;release_notes_090.html&quot;&gt;0.9.0&lt;/a&gt;, are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;addition of a Java and a JavaScript client SDK in separate &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/eclipse/ditto-clients&quot;&gt;GitHub repo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;configurable OpenID Connect authorization servers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;support for OpenID Connect / OAuth2.0 based authentication in Ditto Java Client&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;invoking custom foreign HTTP endpoints as a result of events/messages&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ability to reflect Eclipse Hono’s device connection state in Ditto’s things&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;configurable throttling of max. consumed WebSocket commands / time interval&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Addition of “definition” field in thing at model level containing the model ID a thing may follow&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved connection response handling/mapping&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please have a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;release_notes_100.html&quot;&gt;1.0.0 release notes&lt;/a&gt; for a more detailed information on the release.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;artifacts&quot;&gt;Artifacts&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new Java artifacts have been published at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/ditto/&quot;&gt;Eclipse Maven repository&lt;/a&gt;
as well as &lt;a href=&quot;https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/ditto/&quot;&gt;Maven central&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Docker images have been pushed to Docker Hub:&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Integration of HTTP endpoints/webhooks</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;By adding another connectivity type - &lt;a href=&quot;connectivity-protocol-bindings-http.html&quot;&gt;HTTP&lt;/a&gt; - to Ditto’s
connectivity, it is now (to be released in the next Ditto milestone 1.0.0-M2) possible to
publish &lt;em&gt;twin events&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;messages&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;live commands and events&lt;/em&gt; to existing HTTP servers/endpoints.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is especially useful for invoking existing APIs (which are most of the time HTTP based) whenever e.g.
a digital twin was modified.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One example on how to benefit from this new feature is to invoke a custom
&lt;a href=&quot;https://ifttt.com&quot;&gt;IFTTT&lt;/a&gt; (if-this-than-that) &lt;a href=&quot;https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks&quot;&gt;webhook&lt;/a&gt; via a HTTP &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;POST&lt;/code&gt; request
which then may trigger other IFTTT follow-up-actions (e.g. send a chat message to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://ifttt.com/slack&quot;&gt;Slack&lt;/a&gt;
room).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For IFTTT “webhooks” the address would be &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;POST https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/&amp;lt;your-event-name&amp;gt;/with/key/&amp;lt;your-key&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;
and the expected JSON body:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value1&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;...&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value2&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;...&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;value3&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;...&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In combination with &lt;a href=&quot;connectivity-mapping.html&quot;&gt;payload mapping&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;value1&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;value3&lt;/code&gt; fields requested by the IFTTT
API can be extracted from the &lt;a href=&quot;protocol-specification.html&quot;&gt;Ditto Protocol&lt;/a&gt; and could contain the changed value.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In combination with &lt;a href=&quot;basic-connections.html#target-topics-and-filtering&quot;&gt;filters for targets&lt;/a&gt; you can even specify to
only publish e.g. &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;twin events&lt;/code&gt;, where the temperature of a twin exceeded a certain threshold:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;{
&quot;address&quot;: &quot;POST:/trigger/&amp;lt;your-event-name&amp;gt;/with/key/&amp;lt;your-key&amp;gt;&quot;,
&quot;topics&quot;: [
&quot;_/_/things/twin/events?filter=gt(features/temperature/properties/value,25)&quot;
],
...
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get creative on which HTTP APIs to trigger based on twin events. E.g. invoke a “function-as-a-service” API or invoke the
Twitter API and let your digital twin tweet whenever it detects, that it is getting too warm in your office.&lt;/p&gt;
