Package org.dspace.usage Description

Capture of "usage events". A UsageEvent represents something like a download or viewing of a Bitstream -- that is, the use of content as opposed to its ingestion or alteration. Usage events are meant to be useful for statistical analysis of content usage.

Multiple AbstractUsageEventListener implementations may be configured for processing these events. When an event is "fired", it is passed to each configured listener. Several stock listeners are provided, in this package and others, for doing common tasks.

To add a usage event listener to the bus, configure it as a new <bean> in a web application's applicationContext.xml and inject the EventService, as with the stock listeners.
