How the EventBroker Works

The BEA Tuxedo EventBroker provides a communication paradigm in which an arbitrary number of suppliers can post messages for an arbitrary number of subscribers. Because client and server processes that use the EventBroker communicate with one another based on a set of subscriptions, this paradigm is known as publish-and-subscribe communication. The EventBroker acts like a newspaper delivery person who delivers newspapers only to customers who have paid for a subscription.

Posting and Subscribing to an Event

Event generators (either clients or servers) inform the EventBroker of changes and problems as they occur. This process is called posting an event. The EventBroker then matches the name of the event to an event name associated with a list of subscribers, and notifies each subscriber on the list of the event.
