All Known Implementing Classes:

EventFilterImpl
```
public interface EventFilter
extends Serializable
```
An EventFilter is applied to the events as generated on the repository server. Event filter instances can be created with RepositoryService.createEventFilter(SessionInfo, int, Path, boolean, String[], Name[], boolean). Some repository implementations may also support event filters that are directly instantiated by the client.
