public interface AuditEvent

The AuditEvent interface provides a mechanism for passing audit information to Auditing providers during a writeEvent operation. This is the base interface that is extended by components in the WebLogic Security Framework to compose specific audit event types. Extending this interface helps Auditing providers determine the calling security component.

If an implementor of this interface expects to receive a ContextHandler argument from a caller, they can extend the AuditContext interface.
