Common Base Event factory
Event factories allow you to create Common Base Events and complete event properties using associated content handlers. Content handlers populate data into Common Base Events when the Common Base Event invokes the complete() method. All event properties set by the application code have priority over all properties specified by the content handler. Event factory implementations are tightly coupled with the content handler instance, which is associated with the event factory when the event factory is instantiated. Factory instances can only be retrieved from their associated event factory home. Event factory instances are retrieved and maintained based on unique names. Event factory names are hierarchal; they are represented using the standard Java dot-delimited name-space naming conventions.
