Interface EventHandler

public interface EventHandler

EventHandler defines the contract between Web Central and classes that implement workflow rule functionality.

For each workflow rule invocation, Web Central:

Finds the event handler class using XML workflow rule definition from afm_wf_rules. Creates new instance of the event handler class. Calls handler() method of the event handler instance.

Event handler classes must either:

Implement EventHandler interface directly. Implement one or more methods that match the signature of handle() method.

EventHandler implementation must be stateless, e.g. have no instance variables.
