Interface GenericTrackingControl

All Superinterfaces:

com.bea.control.Control, weblogic.jws.control.Control, Serializable

public interface GenericTrackingControl

extends weblogic.jws.control.Control

Control from which tracking events may be configured, generated, and dispatched to the event service. A tracked event is one which may be persisted to the Portal BT_EVENT database tables.
Once you have an Event object, you may set its attributes: event.setAttribute(String theKey, Serializable theValue);
Refer to the Portal documentation for details on how to configure the Event Service and Behavior Tracking.
The eventType is set as a property on the control. Additional properties are the XML persistence information for this event. See the property editor descriptions for more information.
This control is NOT to be used with JWS, as it requires the HttpServletRequest object, which is unavailable from a JWS.
Control properties:

• eventType The type of event, eg "FooEvent", or "MyShoppingEvent".
• xmlNamespace XML namespace for the schema of the persisted event data, eg: "http://www.bea.com/servers/p13n/xsd/tracking/session-login/1.0.2".
• xsdFile File name of the XSD for the persistec event data schema, eg: "tracking-session-login-1_0_2.xsd".
• schemaKeys List of comma separated Strings that represent the keys of the schema, eg: "application, date, item"
