Interface ProcessTraceEvent

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface ProcessTraceEvent
extends Serializable

Captures information, including timing, about an event that occurred during processing. Events may have sub-events that further break down the steps involved in a complex process.

Field Summary

static String	ANALYSIS Constant for the ANALYSIS event type.
static String	ANALYSIS_ENGINE Constant for the ANALYSIS_ENGINE event type.
static String	SERVICE Constant for the SERVICE event type.
static String	SERVICE_CALL Constant for the SERVICE_CALL event type.

Method Summary

String	getComponentName() Retrieves the name of the component that is performing this event.
String	getDescription() Retrieves the description of this event.
int	getDuration() Gets the duration of this event.
int	getDurationExcludingSubEvents() Gets the duration of this event, minus the sum of the durations of its direct sub-events.
String	getResultMessage() Retrieves the result message of this event.
List<ProcessTraceEvent>	getSubEvents() Gets the sub-events of this event.
String	getType() Gets the type of event.
String	toString() Generates a user-readable representation of this event and its sub-events.
void	toString(StringBuffer aBuf, int aIndentLevel) Generates a user-readable representation of this event and its subevents, using the given indentation level and writing to a StringBuffer.
void	toString(StringBuffer aBuf, int aIndentLevel, int aTotalTime) Generates a user-readable representation of this event and its subevents, using the given indentation level and writing to a StringBuffer.

Method Detail

getComponentName

String getComponentName()

Retrieves the name of the component that is performing this event.

Returns:

the component name

getType

String getType()

Gets the type of event. Standard values for this property are defined as constants on this interface, but any String is allowed.

Returns:

the event type

getDescription

String getDescription()

Retrieves the description of this event.

Returns:

the event Description

getDuration

int getDuration()

Gets the duration of this event.

Returns:

the duration of this event, in milliseconds.

getResultMessage

String getResultMessage()

Retrieves the result message of this event.

Returns:

the event's result message

getSubEvents

List<ProcessTraceEvent> getSubEvents()

Gets the sub-events of this event.

Returns:

a List containing other ProcessTraceEvent objects

getDurationExcludingSubEvents

int getDurationExcludingSubEvents()

Gets the duration of this event, minus the sum of the durations of its direct sub-events.

Returns:

the duration of this event in milliseconds, excluding the time spent in its sub-events

toString

String toString()

Generates a user-readable representation of this event and its sub-events.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the String representation of this event and its sub-events

toString

void toString(StringBuffer aBuf,
              int aIndentLevel)

Generates a user-readable representation of this event and its subevents, using the given indentation level and writing to a StringBuffer. This is useful for writing nested events.

Parameters:

aBuf - string buffer to add to

aIndentLevel - indentation level

toString

void toString(StringBuffer aBuf,
              int aIndentLevel,
              int aTotalTime)

Generates a user-readable representation of this event and its subevents, using the given indentation level and writing to a StringBuffer. Also, if the total time for all events is known, this method will print the percentage of time used by this event and its subevents.

Parameters:

aBuf - string buffer to add to

aIndentLevel - indentation level

aTotalTime - total time, used to calculate percentags. If not known, pass 0.
