Interface EventBus

All Known Implementing Classes:
LocalEventBus, SocketEventBus
public interface EventBus
Defines a simple event bus mechanism for message-based communication between components and/or services.

Implementations of this interface allow registering handlers and sending or publishing messages to specific addresses.

The event bus supports two messaging patterns:

  • Send: Delivers a message to a single handler registered for the given address.
  • Publish: Broadcasts a message to all handlers registered for the given address.
