The route event is processed just like it was sent to the runtime, that is any active expressions seeking that event receive it. The routed event has priority over other events sent to the runtime. In a single-threaded application the routed event is processed before the next event is sent to the runtime through the EPRuntime.sendEvent method.- Parameters:
