Status
The event status is used to track the state of an event. It allows the Foundation
Classes to distinguish among events that are new from those in process or
ineligible.
The adapter must support five different event status values as described in the
table below. All events generated by the event detection mechanism in the EIS
should be in the initial state of New. Only the Foundation Classes, through the
EventStore.updateEventStatus method, change event status.
Possible Event Statuses
XID
The XAResource uses this string field to track transaction IDs in the event table.
The adapter queries and updates that XID field. During recovery, WebSphere
Application Server calls the resource adapter, queries it for XAResources, and then
performs transaction recovery based on the XID.
Event object:
An event object is an instance of the
com.ibm.j2ca.extensions.eventmanagement.Event class as defined in the Foundation
Classes. An event object is the common representation of an event in the Adapter
Foundation Classes and it is populated from an event record in the
getSpecificEvent(String eventId) method described in the Implementing the
EventStore Interface section.
