1.4 Oracle CEP Server and Tools Support

Using the Oracle CEP server and tools, you can efficiently create, package, deploy, debug, and manage Oracle CEP applications that use Oracle CQL.

1.4.1 Oracle CEP Server

Oracle CEP server provides the light-weight Spring container for Oracle CEP applications and manages server and application lifecycle, provides a JRockit real-time JVM with deterministic garbage collection, and a wide variety of essential services such as security, Jetty, JMX, JDBC, HTTP publish-subscribe, and logging and debugging. For more information on Oracle CEP server, see Oracle Complex Event Processing Administrators Guide.

1.4.2 Oracle CEP Tools

Oracle CEP provides the following tools to facilitate your Oracle CQL development process: ■ Section 1.4.2.1, Oracle CEP IDE for Eclipse ■ Section 1.4.2.2, Oracle CEP Visualizer

1.4.2.1 Oracle CEP IDE for Eclipse

Oracle CEP IDE for Eclipse is targeted specifically to programmers that want to develop Oracle CEP applications as Figure 1–6 shows. Introduction to Oracle CQL 1-23 Figure 1–6 Oracle CEP IDE for Eclipse The Oracle CEP IDE for Eclipse is a set of plugins for the Eclipse IDE designed to help develop, deploy, and debug Oracle CEP applications. The key features of Oracle CEP IDE for Eclipse are: ■ Project creation wizards and templates to quickly get started building event driven applications. ■ Advanced editors for source files including Java and XML files common to Oracle CEP applications. ■ Integrated server management to seamlessly start, stop, and deploy to Oracle CEP server instances all from within the IDE. ■ Integrated debugging. ■ Event Processing Network EPN visual design views for orienting and navigating in event processing applications. ■ Integrated support for the Oracle CEP Visualizer so you can use the Oracle CEP Visualizer from within the IDE see Section 1.4.2.2, Oracle CEP Visualizer .
