Class PluginBusSurvey

java.lang.Object
  com.objectplanet.survey.plugin.PluginBusSurvey

All Implemented Interfaces:

IEventListener

Deprecated. @see com.objectplanet.survey.event package.

public class PluginBusSurvey
extends java.lang.Object
implements IEventListener

This class is opinio's event notification mechanism for survey type events. To enhance performance and scalability, the component that is registered on the bus can subscribe to events for a single survey, or to all surveys. Subscribing to all surveys (indicating the survey id 0) should be done with care, because the plugin must then handle a lot of events (several events per question per respondent). This class is deprecated. Use the new event mechanism in the com.objectplanet.survey.event and com.objectplanet.survey.event.events package.
