Questions on event names and aliases

[Subbu Allamaraju <subbu@bea.com>]

I have a question on event names and wildcard matching.

Section 5.1.16 defines the wildcard mechanism for event names, limiting 
the description to just "name"s of published or handled events. Does 
this mechanism also apply to alias names of events?

Since an alias is another name for the same event, logically it seems 
valid for the consumer to match alias names based on the same 
wildcarding algorithm used while matching by the event name.

A follow up question is, when a portlet declares an event name such as 
"{foons}a.b." as the event name and the event match happened via an 
alias, what name should be used while dispatching the event to the 
producer? I would assume that it should be the "{foons}a.b.".

Thanks for any comments.
