A Spring MVC web service implementation that posts Github post hook events to the StackExchange chat.

1. Create a githubhooksechatservice-environment.properties file in $CATALINA_HOME$/lib.
2. Populate it with the following properties for example:

• env.rootUrl = http://stackexchange.com
• env.chatUrl = http://chat.stackexchange.com
• env.botEmail = [email protected]
• env.botPassword = yourpassword
• env.roomId = 16134
• env.chatThrottle = 10000 (the minimum time in milliseconds between each message)
• env.chatMaxBurst = 2 (the maximum amount of message without being throttled)
• env.chatMinimumDelay = 500 (the minimum delay in milliseconds between messages)
• env.deployGreetingEnabled = true (whether the bot will say something in the room when deployed)
• env.deployGreetingText = Hello world!
• env.undeployGoodbyeEnabled = true (whether the bot will say something in the room when undeployed)
• env.undeployGoodbyeText = Bye world!
• env.userMappings = githubusername1 -> sechatusername1, githubusername2 -> sechatusername2

3. Add a post web hook to your Github project, and point the Payload URL to http://yourdomain.com/GithubHookSEChatService/hooks/github/payload
4. Add a post web hook to your Travis CI project, you can read about it on http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/notifications/#Webhook-notification, and point it to http://yourdomain.com/GithubHookSEChatService/hooks/travis/payload

• As the .travis.yml file is public, it would be best if you encrypt the url, this can be done by replacing the - yoururl with - secure: encryptedstring obtained via travis encrypt yoururl -r youruser/yourrepo with the Travis gem.
