How to specify type with metadata of pubsub?

[DanielYWoo]

The CloudEvent spec says we can specify the type in the metadata. The SDK allows metadata customization when publishing an event as below

    Map<String, String> metadata = new HashMap<>();
    metadata.put("type", "com.test.user.created");
    Mono<Void> result = client.publishEvent("pubsub", "inbox", payload, metadata);
    result.block(Duration.ofSeconds(2));

But the type seems always be com.dapr.event.sent. I debug into the gRPC code down to protocol bufferserializeStringMapTo and I am pretty sure the type is correctly written to the sidecar via 50001.

Are there anything wrong here? And can I specify other metadata like metadata.rawPayload?

If I do a POST with curl, this works

curl -X POST http://myurl... -d {"specversion" : "1.0", "type" : "com.mytest", "source" : "testcloudeventspubsub", "subject" : "Cloud Events Test", "id" : "111111", "time" : "2021-08-02T09:00:00Z", "datacontenttype" : "application/cloudevents+json", "data" : {"orderId": "100"}}

So I guess this problem only occurs in gRPC. However, the SDK does not support HTTP for pub/sub, right?

SDK has metadata.CONTENT_TYPE to customize the type. https://github.com/dapr/java-sdk/blob/master/sdk/src/main/java/io/dapr/client/domain/Metadata.java

Thanks, @tanvigour , but I am not saying the media type in "content-type" or "datacontenttype", I am saying the "type" context attribute in CloudEvent spec. e.g, "user.created".

And it seems I cannot set extension context attributes (custom metadata), but the CloudSpec allows.
