Event handling is the receipt of an event at some event handler from an event producer and subsequent processes. The processes involved in event handling include:

Identifying where an event should be forwarded.
Making the forward.
Receiving the forwarded event.
Taking some kind of appropriate action in response, such as writing to a log, sending an error or recovery routine or sending a message.
The event handler may ultimately forward the event to an event consumer.
