<title>The Notification Service Components</title>
<p>This chapter describes the Notification Service Components and how they
interact.</p>
<section>
<title>Components</title>
<p>There are seven components in the OMG Notification Service architecture.
These are described below: </p>

<list type="bulleted">
<item><em>Event Channel:</em> acts as a factory for Administrator objects.
Allows clients to set Administrative Properties.</item>
<item><em>Supplier Administrators:</em> acts as a factory for Proxy Consumers.
Administrators are started as <c>'AND_OP'-</c> or <c>'OR_OP'-</c>type,
which determines if events must be validated using both the Administrators
associated Filter and/or its Proxy children Filters.</item>
<item><em>Consumer Administrators:</em> acts in the same way as Supplier Administrators
but handle Proxy Suppliers.</item>
<item><em>Consumer Proxy:</em> is connected to a client application. Can be
started as <c>Pull</c> or <c>Push</c> object. If the proxy is Push style
the client application must push events to the Proxy, otherwise the Proxy is
supposed to Pull events. The <c>CosNotification::AdminProperties</c> is
used to set the pacing interval.</item>
<item><em>Supplier Proxy:</em> Acts in a similar way as the Consumer Proxy, but
if started as a <c>Push</c> proxy it will push events to the client
application.</item>
<item><em>Filters:</em> used to filter events. May be associated with Proxies
and Administrators.</item>
<item><em>Mapping Filters:</em> used to override events Quality of Service
settings. Can only be associated with Consumer Administrators and
Proxy Suppliers.</item>
</list>
<p>When a Proxy is started it is set to accept <c>CORBA::Any</c>,
<c>CosNotification::StructuredEvent</c> or <c>CosNotification::EventBatch</c>
(a sequence of structured events).</p>
<p>If a Proxy is supposed to deliver structured events to a client application
and receives an <c>CORBA::Any</c> event, the event is converted to a
structured event with <c>type_name</c> set to <c>"%ANY"</c> and the
event is stored in <c>remainder_of_body</c>.</p>
<p>If a Proxy is supposed to deliver <c>CORBA::Any</c> events to a client application
and receives a structured event, the event is stored in an Any type. The
Any Type Code will be equal to the <c>CosNotification::StructuredEvent</c>
Type Code.</p>
