Preface

This document describes how to create, deploy, and debug Oracle Event Processing applications.

Oracle Event Processing (formerly known as the WebLogic Event Server) is a Java server for the development of high-performance event driven applications. It is a lightweight Java application container based on Equinox OSGi, with shared services, including the Oracle Event Processing Service Engine, which provides a rich, declarative environment based on Oracle Continuous Query Language (Oracle CQL) - a query language based on SQL with added constructs that support streaming data - to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of managing business operations. Oracle Event Processing supports ultra-high throughput and microsecond latency using JRockit Real Time and provides Oracle Event Processing Visualizer and Oracle Event Processing IDE for Eclipse developer tooling for a complete real time end-to-end Java Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) development platform.

Audience

This document is intended for programmers creating Oracle Event Processing applications.
