Class EventLogService

java.lang.Object

org.imixs.workflow.engine.EventLogService

public class EventLogService
extends Object

The EventLogService is a service to create and access log events.

An event that occurs during an update or a processing function within a transaction becomes a fact when the transaction completes successfully. The EventLogService can be used to create this kind of "Change Data Capture" events. An example is the LuceneUpdateService, which should update the index of a document only if the document was successfully written to the database.

The service is bound to the current PersistenceContext and stores a defined type of document entity directly in the database to represent an event. These types of events can be queried by clients through the service.
