43 Using Business Events and the Event Delivery Network

This chapter describes how to subscribe to or publish business events from Oracle Mediator or a BPEL process in a SOA composite application. Business events are published to the Event Delivery Network (EDN) and consist of message data sent as the result of an occurrence in a business environment. When a business event is published, other service components can subscribe to it.
