Situation elements

The Common Base Event specification defines situation elements that give more information about an event.

The most important of these elements is the situation element that gives a standardized classification of the situation in which the event occurred. This element is mandatory.

When events are sent through the deployment descriptor of an Enterprise JavaBeans module or through a Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) process, situation elements are added automatically to the event information. If an event is sent using the Java API and the situation is not set, an OtherSituation situation is created automatically.
