5. Service ID Must Be Unique
The bus tries twice to eliminate processing an event — once from the original
ApplicationEvent
and once from the queue. To do so, it checks the sending service ID
against the current service ID. If multiple instances of a service have the same ID,
events are not processed. When running on a local machine, each service is on a different
port, and that port is part of the ID. Cloud Foundry supplies an index to differentiate.
To ensure that the ID is unique outside Cloud Foundry, set spring.application.index
to
something unique for each instance of a service.
