h1. Methods

h2. Introduction

RSB [[Events]] include an optional "method" field which is loosely based on "HTTP Methods":http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-5.1.1. As in HTTP, the method field describes the desired handling of the data carried by an event.

h2. Well-known Methods and their Semantics

h2. 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 [[EventProcessing|event processing pipeline]] as possible. Eventually, the filtering should be performed at the transport level using the mechanism described [[Transport-level_Filtering|here]].
