Interface HistoryLevel

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractHistoryLevel, HistoryLevelActivity, HistoryLevelAudit, HistoryLevelFull, HistoryLevelNone

public interface HistoryLevel

The history level controls what kind of data is logged to the history database. More formally, it controls which history events are produced by the

invalid reference

HistoryEventProducer

.

Built-in history levels: The process engine provides a set of built-in history levels as default configuration. The built-in history levels are:

• HISTORY_LEVEL_NONE
• HISTORY_LEVEL_ACTIVITY
• HISTORY_LEVEL_AUDIT
• HISTORY_LEVEL_FULL

This class provides singleton instances of these history levels as constants.

Custom history levels:In order to implement a custom history level, the following steps are necessary:

• Provide a custom implementation of this interface. Note: Make sure you choose unique values for getName() and getId()
• Add an instance of the custom implementation through ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl.setCustomHistoryLevels(java.util.List)
• use the name of your history level (as returned by getName() as value for ProcessEngineConfiguration.setHistory(String)
