What are Filters?

Filters are a common component in MachII applications which enable per-event flow control, and are easily added to Mach-II events through a single line in the XML configuration file. A simple example would be the addition of security or logging to a specific Mach-II event, or conditionally redirecting to a different event based on some value. By developing a filter and adding this filter to the event, this additional functionality can be added to or removed from the event without touching the business logic involved.

Filters are CFC's which extend the class MachII.framework.EventFilter
