static int	PROPERTY_ADDED An event of this type is generated when a property is added.
static int	PROPERTY_CHANGED An event of this type is generated when a property is changed.
static int	PROPERTY_REMOVED An event of this type is generated when a property is removed.

Method Summary

ItemId	getItemId()
Name[]	getMixinTypeNames()
NodeId	getParentId()
Path	getPath()
Name	getPrimaryNodeTypeName()
int	getType() Returns the type of this event: a constant defined by this interface.
