Destinations in a channel represent listeners to messages from that resource, and they can also send messages to the resource. All destinations for a particular channel use the same server.
Arriving messages are transformed into simple events, using message data and metadata. Simple events sent out of TIBCO BusinessEvents are transformed to the appropriate type of message.
In addition to simple events, which work with incoming and outgoing messages of various sorts, TIBCO BusinessEvents uses a special-purpose event type called
SOAPEvent, which inherits from
SimpleEvent. It is used for sending and receiving SOAP messages in an HTTP channel. Two other types of events are also used: time events and advisory events. These event types are described in
Types of Events.
