Abstract

A method and system for real-time eventing including interacting with at least one configuration attribute according to instructions specified through an application programming interface (API); adding subscribers for an event channel; generating an event from operation of an application; publishing the event message to the event channel on an event router; processing the event message according to the at least one configuration attribute; identifying a subscriber to the event channel; and sending the event from the event router to the subscriber.

Claims

1. A method for real-time eventing comprising:

adding at least one subscriber for an event channel;

generating an event message upon an event occurring during operation of an application;

publishing the event message to an event channel on an event router;

routing the event message according to a configuration attribute of the event channel;

identifying a subscriber to the event channel; and

sending the event message from the event router to the subscriber.
