Package org.flowable.eventregistry.api

Interface InboundEventFilter<T>

Type Parameters:
T - the type of the expected payload (e.g. a JsonNode)
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface public interface InboundEventFilter<T>
This interface must be implemented by a custom filtering bean to hook into the default inbound event processing pipeline in order to have a very effective way to filter out events which should not be processed any further and thus preventing expensive processing time like DB lookups and the full consumer invocation.
