Creating an event consumer

An event consumer is any application that receives events from the event server.

An event consumer might be an application that receives asynchronous event notifications, or it might be an application that queries and processes historical event data from the persistent data store. The event consumer receives events in the form of Java objects; it can then use the CommonBaseEvent interface to retrieve event property data, or convert the event to another supported format (such as XML) for forwarding to another application.

An event consumer can receive events in either of two ways:

In addition to receiving events, an event consumer can also modify events, delete events, and purge old events from the data store.
