event handling and bubbling

icyjamie Feb 9, 2006 1:24 AM

Is it possible for event handlers to stop bubbling up?
e.g. I have a task-create event handler on process level, and a specific task-create event handler on some task in the process. Is it possible to specify that the event processing should stop there?
Of course, if events are processed top-down, this is rather impossible, but then I would question the top-down processing (e.g. javascript event handling bubbles up).

Some quick investigation shows that the events are handled bottom-up.
Good :-).
I've did a little quick-and-dirty (no unit tests) job of:
adjusting the xsd, to accept the "bubble-up" (true|false|yes|no)
Added a property to event (guess which one)
Adjusted the hibernate mapping and added a column to event table
Adjusted the xml reader (and only that !!)
It seems to work :-)
