Package com.epicentric.event Description

(deprecated in 4.0, to be removed in 8.0 or later; no replacement) Provides a system for logging events, such as PortalBean creation, user deletion, or system startup. Custom events can be logged. The default implementation, FileEventLog, logs events to a flat file, one event per line.

How to use the API

There's only one call to use:
EventLogManager.logEvent(String callerID, int eventID, String message)
Parameters:

• callerID: Identifies the calling component or process. The component may identify itself however it wants. For instance, a PortalBean might use its descriptorID as the callerID.
• eventID: Identifies the type of event. Some predefined event IDs are listed below. Note that these predefined events are not necessarily logged by default by a Vignette Portal installation. Custom IDs should fall within the 600-900 range.
• message: The event's text message. Predefined events have messages defined for them, such as 400: "PortalBean created." Custom messages can contain information that contextualizes the event; for example, the message for a user-added event might contain the userID of the user added.
