Common Event Infrastructure event catalog definitions

The Common Event Infrastructure event catalog contains event definitions that can be queried by other applications. The following are event definition samples, using XML metadata, for typical adapter events. If you are writing another application, your application can use event catalog interfaces to query against the event definition. For more information about event definitions and how to query them, refer to the Common Event Infrastructure documentation that is available from the online IBM WebSphere Server Foundation Information Center.

For WebSphere Business Integration adapters, the extended data elements that need to be defined in the event catalog are the keys of the business object. Each business object key requires an event definition. So for any given adapter, various events such as start adapter, stop adapter, timeout adapter, and any doVerbFor event (create, update, or delete, for example) must have a corresponding event definition in the event catalog.

The following sections contain examples of the XML metadata for start adapter, stop adapter, and event request or delivery.
