CosEventChannelAdmin
</DIV>

<H3>MODULE SUMMARY</H3>
<DIV CLASS=REFBODY>
The CosEventChannelAdmin defines a set if event service interfaces that 
enables decoupled asynchronous communication between objects and implements
generic (untyped) version of the OMG COSS standard event service.
</DIV>

<H3>DESCRIPTION</H3>
<DIV CLASS=REFBODY>

<P> The event service defines two roles for objects: the supplier role and 
the consumer role. Suppliers supply event data to the event channel and 
consumers receive event data from the channel. Suppliers do not need to 
know the identity of the consumers, and vice versa. Consumers and 
suppliers are connected to the event channel via proxies, which are managed
by ConsumerAdmin and SupplierAdmin objects.

<P> There are four general models of communication. These are: 

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
         The canonical push model. It allows the suppliers of events to initiate the
         transfer of event data to consumers. Event channels play the role of 
         <CODE>Notifier</CODE>. Active suppliers use event channel to push data to 
         passive consumers registered with the event channel.
        
</LI>


<LI>
         The canonical pull model. It allows consumers to request events from 
         suppliers. Event channels play the role of <CODE>Procure</CODE> since they 
         procure events on behalf of consumers. Active consumers can explicitly 
         pull data from passive suppliers via the event channels.
        
</LI>


<LI>
         The hybrid push/pull model. It allows consumers request events queued at
         a channel by suppliers. Event channels play the role of <CODE>Queue</CODE>.
         Active consumers explicitly pull data deposited by active suppliers via 
         the event channels.
        
</LI>


<LI>
         The hybrid pull/push model. It allows the channel to pull events from 
         suppliers and push them to consumers. Event channels play the role of 
         <CODE>Intelligent agent</CODE>. Active event channels can pull data from 
         passive suppliers to push it to passive consumers.
        
</LI>


</UL>

<P> To get access to all definitions, e.g., exceptions,
include necessary <CODE>hrl</CODE> files by using:<BR>

<CODE>-include_lib(&#34;cosEvent/include/*.hrl&#34;).</CODE>

<P> There are seven different interfaces supported in the service:

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
ProxyPushConsumer
</LI>


<LI>
ProxyPullSupplier
</LI>


<LI>
ProxyPullConsumer
</LI>


<LI>
ProxyPushSupplier
</LI>


<LI>
ConsumerAdmin
</LI>


<LI>
SupplierAdmin
</LI>


<LI>
EventChannel
</LI>


</UL>
