Hi Thanks for the reply.
I have tried to understand IterativeCondition, but I have not yet fully understood. How can it apply to my case ? If I have more (than one) variables to set (and read) in pattern, is that possible by IterativeCondition ? Are there exist more examples how to use it ? or documentation ? Or should I use some other method than CEP, because my case is more batch processing than stream processing ?

It is possible though to access event accepted in one pattern in next ones of the sequence via IterativeCondition[1].

If I have a pattern sequence like this: val eventPattern = Pattern .begin[TestData](“start”).where( // Sets variable X here //) .followedBy(“end”).where( // Reads value of variable X here //) How to set variable X in “start” and how to read the value of the variable X in “end” ? Should or can I use global variables ? Should variables be declared in TestData ? And how ?

Iterative conditions (with context.getEventsForPatterns) do something like that, but it gets all previously accepter events.. How to get only last one (by Scala) ? Are there exist examples about that ? For example, if i have consecutive patterns: 1. Search event A and read its value: B (that can also be different, like C) 2. Search the next event based on value of A, that is B, so event B is searched This is little bit like searching links of list. It is also possible that an event can include many next events, so that means it is like tree- or DAG- pattern structure. The pattern structure of list, tree or DAG is not known before processing, but during (and after) the processing.. Is that problem ?
