DESCRIPTION

An Event logging class for recording information and history for selected objects

COMMON ENTITY INTERFACE

Constructor, accessors, and other methods -- as inherited from Myco::Base::Entity.

ATTRIBUTES

Attributes may be initially set during object construction (with new()) but otherwise are accessed solely through accessor methods. Typical usage:

  • Set attribute value

     $obj->set_attribute($value);

    Check functions (see Class::Tangram) perform data validation. If there is any concern that the set method might be called with invalid data then the call should be wrapped in an eval block to catch exceptions that would result.

  • Get attribute value

     $value = $obj->get_attribute;

A listing of available attributes follows:

kind

 type: int

The kind of the event. Could be 'Create', 'Delete', or 'Modify'

state

 type: perl_dump

user_src
