Methods¶

Introduction¶

RSB Events include an optional "method" field which is loosely based on HTTP Methods. As in HTTP, the method field describes the desired handling of the data carried by an event.

Well-known Methods and their Semantics¶

Implementation Aspects¶

Methods can probably be used very well to discriminate interesting vs. uninteresting events from a particular participant's point of view. To take advantage of this discriminative property, event filtering based on methods should be done as early in the event processing pipeline as possible. Eventually, the filtering should be performed at the transport level using the mechanism described here.
