Action bean method signatures Description 
public void log( HttpServletRequest request, 
                    String actionName )
Logs a non-resource specific action 
public void log(HttpServletRequest request, 
                String resourceId, 
                String collectionName, 
                String actionName )
Logs a resource specific action 
public void log(HttpServletRequest request, 
                     String resourceId,
                     String collectionName, 
                     String actionName,
                     String key, 
                     String value )
Logs a resource specific action with key/value action datum 
public void log(HttpServletRequest request, 
                     String resourceId,
                     String collectionName, 
                     String actionName,
                     Hashtable keyValueData )
Logs a resource specific action with multiple key/value action data. Each key can have a single value specified by a string object or multiple values specified by a string array


Action beans should be instantiated as session beans. They maintain user action information for the current session including the actions logged by resource and their corresponding log counts.

The following methods are accessible from rules. These methods are provided through a custom application object. 

public String[] getActionNames(HttpServletRequest request);
public int      getActionCount(HttpServletRequest request, String actionName );

Actions can be logged with or without respect to a specific resource.

For example, the "OrderCancel" action does not apply to a specific resource whereas the "BrowseContent" action applies to a specific content resource.

If the call to the action log method specifies a resourceId and the collectionName is null, the name of a ResourceCollection is inferred. The ResourceCollection used will be any one containing a resource with the specified resourceId. The determination of the ResourceCollection used in this scenario is non-deterministic. Note that these variants are suitable for user implementations supporting one and only one ResourceCollection per resource class. If an implementation utilizes multiple ResourceCollections for the same resource class, the collectionName should be specified.
