CPS-1005 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Overview:

This POC is for finding ways to create a resource (NCMP for this instance).

Few possibilities were discussed during the Grooming session which are listed as below.

1. init-container
2. k8s hooks
3. Events in Spring.
4.  ....(explore others if any)

Issues and decisions

Analysis

1. init-container
2. k8s hooks

3. Events in Spring
   
   We can use the ApplicationReadyEvent which is published when the application is ready to service requests.
   We can listen to this event , which is thrown by the SpringApplication itself and then execute some code (which is creating a dataspace in our scenario)
   
   Example
   
   

   ApplicationReadyEvent

   @EventListener(ApplicationReadyEvent.class)
       public void initializeNcmp() {
           log.info("Initializing NCMP when the ApplicationReadyEvent is received");
           try {
               cpsAdminService.createDataspace("NCMP-CmHandle-Operational-Data");
           } catch (final AlreadyDefinedException ex) {
               log.info("Already defined : {} ", ex.getMessage());
           } catch (final Exception ex) {
               log.warn("Failed to create dataspace, cause : {}", ex.getMessage());
           }
       }
