getPayloadSchemaName

public java.lang.String getPayloadSchemaName()

Get the name of the document schema for payload for this event definition.

setPayloadSchemaName

public void setPayloadSchemaName(java.lang.String schemaName)

Set the name of the document schema for payload for this event definition.

getPayloadRootElementName

public java.lang.String getPayloadRootElementName()

Get the root element name for payload for this event definition.

setPayloadRootElementName

public void setPayloadRootElementName(java.lang.String rootElementName)

Get an XML string representing this event definition. The schema is referred to by name, and it not include inline in the returned XML.

Throws:

DocumentException - if there is an error creating the XML.

fromXML
