Event (DSpace Kernel :: API and Implementation 6.0-rc4 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.dspace.event.Event

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class Event
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
An Event object represents a single action that changed one object in the DSpace data model. An "atomic" action at the application or business-logic API level may spawn many of these events.
This class includes tools to help set and use the contents of the event. Note that it describes DSpace data object types in two ways: by the type identifiers in the Constants class, and also by an Event-specific bitmask (used by its internal filters). All public API calls use the Constants version of the data model types.
Note that the type of the event itself is actually descriptive of the action it performs: ADD, MODIFY, etc. The most significant elements of the event are:
- (Action) Type
- Subject -- DSpace object to which the action applies, e.g. the Collection to which an ADD adds a member.
- Object -- optional, when present it is the other object effected by an action, e.g. the Item ADDed to a Collection by an ADD.
- detail -- a textual summary of what changed. Content and its significance varies by the combination of action and subject type.
- - timestamp -- exact millisecond timestamp at which event was logged.
