Interface EventType

All Known Implementing Classes:
DomainObjectEvent, ProgramEvent
public interface EventType
Interface for objects that represent event types. This interface has only one method and that method exists to facilitate fast checking if an event type is present in a collection of events. The value returned from getId() is arbitrary and can change from run to run. Its only purpose is to give each event type a unique compact id that can be used as an index into a bit set. It is important that implementers of this interface get their id values by calling DomainObjectEventIdGenerator.next() so that all event ids are coordinated and as small as possible.

The preferred implementation of EventType is an enum that enumerates the valid event types for any application sub-system. See DomainObjectEvent for an example implementation.
