## Interface ProcessTraceEvent

- All Superinterfaces:
    Serializable

      public interface ProcessTraceEvent
      extends Serializable

  Captures information, including timing, about an event that occurred during processing. Events may have sub-events that further break down the steps involved in a complex process.

    - #### ANALYSIS_ENGINE

          static final String ANALYSIS_ENGINE

      Constant for the ANALYSIS_ENGINE event type. This represents the time spent in the Analysis Engine, including the annotator's analysis and framework overhead.

        Constant Field Values

    - #### ANALYSIS

          static final String ANALYSIS

      Constant for the ANALYSIS event type. This represents the actual analysis performed by an annotator.
      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### SERVICE

          static final String SERVICE

      Constant for the SERVICE event type. This represents the total time spent in execution of a remote service (not including communication and marshalling/unmarshalling overhead).
      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### SERVICE_CALL

          static final String SERVICE_CALL

      Constant for the SERVICE_CALL event type. This represents the total time spent making a call on a remote service, including marshalling and unmarshalling.
      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getComponentName

          String getComponentName()

      Retrieves the name of the component that is performing this event.
      Returns:
        the component name

    - #### getType

          String getType()

      Gets the type of event. Standard values for this property are defined as constants on this interface, but any String is allowed.
      Returns:
        the event type

    - #### getDescription

          String getDescription()

      Retrieves the description of this event.
      Returns:
        the event Description

    - #### getDuration

          int getDuration()

      Gets the duration of this event.
      Returns:
        the duration of this event, in milliseconds.

    - #### getResultMessage

          String getResultMessage()

      Retrieves the result message of this event.
      Returns:
        the event's result message

    - #### getSubEvents

          List<ProcessTraceEvent> getSubEvents()

      Gets the sub-events of this event.
      Returns:
        a List containing other `ProcessTraceEvent` objects

    - #### getDurationExcludingSubEvents

          int getDurationExcludingSubEvents()

      Gets the duration of this event, minus the sum of the durations of its direct sub-events.
      Returns:
        the duration of this event in milliseconds, excluding the time spent in its sub-events

    - #### toString

          String toString()

      Generates a user-readable representation of this event and its sub-events.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        the String representation of this event and its sub-events

    - #### toString

          void toString(StringBuffer aBuf,
                        int aIndentLevel)

      Generates a user-readable representation of this event and its subevents, using the given indentation level and writing to a StringBuffer. This is useful for writing nested events.
      Parameters:
        `aBuf` - string buffer to add to
        `aIndentLevel` - indentation level

    - #### toString

          void toString(StringBuffer aBuf,
                        int aIndentLevel,
                        int aTotalTime)

      Generates a user-readable representation of this event and its subevents, using the given indentation level and writing to a StringBuffer. Also, if the total time for all events is known, this method will print the percentage of time used by this event and its subevents.
      Parameters:
        `aBuf` - string buffer to add to
        `aIndentLevel` - indentation level
        `aTotalTime` - total time, used to calculate percentags. If not known, pass 0.
