public class EventsXMLHelper

extends Object

This class provides a static method to convert an event list to a XML encoded file.

The XML encoding is as follows:

<events>
  <event>
   <id>open_work_item</id>
   <time>1071696763305</time>
   <attribute id="case_type_id">purchase</attribute>
   <attribute id="resource_id">joedoe</attribute>
   <attribute id="case_id">1</attribute>
   <attribute id="work_item_id">check_price</attribute>
  </event>
 </events>

The events element is used to group a list of events. The event element represents a single event and it is composed by a single id element, a single time element and zero or more attribute elements.

The id element contains the id of the event. The time element contains the time of the event as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT. Each attribute element represents one attribute mapping of the event.
