If you are looking at omniEvents, best take a close look at
the thread handling. Last time I used it (about 18months to
two years ago) it was very fragile. It didn't seem to have
any thread protection at all for handling consumers that
die ungracefully (or even deregister gracefully). Of course,
this was never apparent in a test environment where we
had only a few consumers and a limited number of events,
and only really emerged after comissioning :-(

OmniNotify wasn't available at the time, and I ended up
writing my own event service. Things got a bit tense there
for a while...
