Action beans


We use Action beans to log specific actions of the Web site visitors.

As a Web site visitor navigates the Web pages, an Action bean logs the visitor's events within the session. Action beans maintain action information for the current session including the actions logged and their corresponding log counts. This session data can be used within rules of from the JSPs. Action information is also routed to all registered log listeners.

All actions are logged to the Feedback schema and to the user session. The actions logged include the pre-defined actions listed in Table 1 and user defined actions. The actions that are logged to the Feedback schema and user session do not need to be pre-defined.

If you have LikeMinds installed, only the pre-defined actions listed in Table 1 are logged to the LikeMinds schema. These actions must be defined to LikeMinds in the lps_trx_type table. (We can also add to the list of predefined actions by adding items to the lps_trx_type table.) The actions logged through an Action bean provide the transaction data necessary for the LikeMinds Clickstream Engine. This set of actions may be accessed after deployment and configuration of a Web application.

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

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

We can create rules based on the activity of the current session, for example:

WebSite Visitor is    Undecided when        current Action Count.ShoppingCartDelete > 0
     Otherwise Decided
