Properties

Name Type Description
eventIDxsd:string

The ID of the event type. Should follow java package naming conventions for uniqueness.
eventTypeSchema*xsd:string

Optional XML descriptor for the EventType. The structure of this descriptor is: 
 <EventType>
   <eventTypeID>eventID</eventTypeID>
   <description>Optional description for event eventID</description>
   <!-- Optional arguments: -->
   <arguments>
      <!-- Zero or more of: -->
      <argument>
        <name>argName</name>
        <type>argtype</name>
      </argument>
   </arguments>
 </EventType>
where argtype can be one of the following:
  • string
  • moid
  • long
  • int
  • bool
Note: moid is really just a string, with some additional semantic meaning attached - that it is the identifier of some object in the inventory, and can be looked up by a client that is so inclined.
