Can i subscribe a event without a filter?

The MonitoringEventItem provides a constructor which takes only a NodeId, but i get a Exception when i try to subscribe.

com.prosysopc.ua.StatusException: Bad_MonitoredItemFilterUnsupported (0x80440000) “The server does not support the requested monitored item filter.” StatusCode=Bad_MonitoredItemFilterUnsupported (0x80440000) “The server does not support the requested monitored item filter.”
at com.prosysopc.ua.client.UaClient.a(Unknown Source)
at com.prosysopc.ua.client.Subscription.addItem(Unknown Source)

My code is:
private static void startSubscription() throws ServiceException, StatusException {

subscription = new Subscription();
client.addSubscription(subscription);
statusEventTest = new MonitoredEventItem(Properties.NODE_ID_STATUS_TEST);
subscription.addItem(statusEventTest);

}

The goal is to implement a Client which can subscribe different events with generic code.
