Components issue events in order to inform other components that something has happened. Other components can choose to register their interest in events and have the framework notify them when an register themselves as event sinks and be notified when a specific event has occurred. Event handlers have priorities and events pass along the chain in order of these priorities. Event handlers can chose to allow continued processing if an event, with each handler being able to halt or continue event processing.
