RE: [alf-dev] Event Forwarding

["Tim Buss" <TBuss@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The invocation of a Service Flow is just a web service call.  Thus a
Service Flow can in-fact be any Web service which uses the ALF Event
Message as an input message and has no output message - ie is
asynchronous.

For the initial release at least, we are not planning to support generic
service invocation via the Event Manager.  Mapping of event data to the
arbitrarty structures of specific services that need to be called as a
result of the event is intended to be handled by BPEL in the Service
Flow so it would duplicate functionality.  That said there may be
specific cases where a it may be more covenient to provide such a
mapping.  Perhaps you have such a case?

The configuration of the Event Manager is not dynamic, at least for now,
which is why you don't see "RegisterALFEventListenerURI"  The event
manager is configured by creating an XML file describing the event to
service flow mappings in the current documentation

It would be interesting to learn a little more about what you intend.

Subject: [alf-dev] Event Forwarding

I have been reading through the ALF  ArchitectureDraft-v00-07 and had a 
couple of questions.   I noticed a couple places in the doc talk about
ALF 
Event Manager acting as an event broker by forwarding ALF Events to
other listeners.  I thought I might see something in the Event Manager
Service WSDL referring to something like "RegisterALFEventListenerURI"
but I didn't. 
I would like to receive ALF events but I don't want to start a Service
Flow. 
Is there someplace I could find out more information about event
forwarding?

Are anticipating having event forwarding available in your POC?

Thanks
