NAME

       CosEventChannelAdmin  - 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.

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       There are four general models of communication. These are:

         * 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 Notifier. Active suppliers
           use event channel to push data to passive consumers registered with the event channel.

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

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

         * 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 Intelligent agent. Active
           event channels can pull data from passive suppliers to push it to passive consumers.

       To get access to all definitions, e.g., exceptions, include necessary hrl files by using:
       -include_lib("cosEvent/include/*.hrl").

       There are seven different interfaces supported in the service:

         * ProxyPushConsumer

         * ProxyPullSupplier

         * ProxyPullConsumer

         * ProxyPushSupplier

         * ConsumerAdmin

         * SupplierAdmin

         * EventChannel
