Interface ProcessTraceEvent

All Superinterfaces:
Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
ProcessTraceEvent_impl

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.

      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

      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.
