# com.bea.p13n.controls.ejb.events
EventService Interface

public interface EventService
extends `Control`

Event Service remote interface. Pass events to this service to have them handled by registered listeners. Listeners register themselves for this service via the WebLogic management console; classes that implement the EventListener interface may add themselves as listeners using the Configuration tab for the Event Service. Those classes express interest in certain Event types, and when an event of that is dispatched via this service, it is forwarded to the listener.

This control requires that the EventService EJB has been deployed to the application. The EventService EJB is contained in p13n_ejb.jar, and is deployed with every Portal application.

Note that there are specialized event controls available as well (see the controls in com.bea.p13n.controls.events package).
