<module>CosEventChannelAdmin_EventChannel</module>
<modulesummary>This module implements an Event Channel interface, which plays the role of a mediator between consumers and suppliers.</modulesummary>
<description>
<p>An event channel is an object that allows multiple suppliers to communicate
with multiple consumers in a highly decoupled, asynchronous manner. The event
channel is built up incrementally. When an event channel is
created no suppliers or consumers are connected to it. Event Channel can
implement group communication by serving as a replicator, broadcaster, or
multicaster that forward events from one or more suppliers to multiple
consumers.</p>
<p>It is up to the user to decide when an event channel is created and how
references to the event channel are obtained. By representing the event
channel as an object, it has all of the properties that apply to objects.
One way to manage an event channel is to register it in a naming context,
or export it through an operation on an object.</p>
<p>To get access to all definitions include necessary <c><![CDATA[hrl]]></c> files by using:<br></br><c><![CDATA[-include_lib("cosEvent/include/*.hrl").]]></c></p>
<p>Any object that possesses an object reference that supports the ProxyPullConsumer
interface can perform the following operations:</p>
</description>
<funcs>
<func>
<name>for_consumers(Object) -> Return</name>
<fsummary>Return a ConsumerAdmin object</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Object = #objref</v>
<v>Return = #objref</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>This operation returns a ConsumerAdmin object reference. If ConsumerAdmin
object does not exist already it creates one.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>for_suppliers(Object) -> Return</name>
<fsummary>Return a SupplierAdmin object</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Object = #objref</v>
<v>Return = #objref</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>This operation returns a SupplierAdmin object reference. If SupplierAdmin
object does not exist already it creates one.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>destroy(Object) -> Return</name>
<fsummary>Destroy the event channel</fsummary>
