    019/**
    020 * <p>
    021 * An event class for reporting updates on a configuration object.
    022 * </p>
    023 * <p>
    024 * Event objects of this type are used for &quot;raw&quot; events, i.e. unfiltered modifications of any kind. A level
    025 * with semantically higher events (for example for property changes) may be built on top of this fundamental event mechanism.
    026 * </p>
    027 * <p>
    028 * Each event can contain the following data:
    029 * </p>
    030 * <ul>
    031 * <li>A source object, which is usually the configuration object that was modified.</li>
    032 * <li>The event's type. This is an object that corresponds to constant declarations in specific event classes. It
    033 * describes what exactly has happened.</li>
    034 * <li>If available, the name of the property whose modification caused the event.</li>
    035 * <li>If available, the value of the property that caused this event.</li>
    036 * <li>A flag whether this event was generated before or after the update of the source configuration. A modification of
    037 * a configuration typically causes two events: one event before and one event after the modification is performed. This
    038 * allows event listeners to react at the correct point of time.</li>
    039 * </ul>
    040 * <p>
    041 * The following standard events are generated by typical configuration implementations (the constants for the event
    042 * types are defined in this class:
    043 * </p>
    044 * <dl>
    045 * <dt>ADD_PROPERTY</dt>
    046 * <dd>This event is triggered for each call of the {@code addProperty()} method of a configuration object. It contains
    047 * the name of the property, to which new data is added, and the value object that is added to this property (this may
    048 * be an array or a list if multiple values are added).</dd>
    049 * <dt>SET_PROPERTY</dt>
    050 * <dd>Calling the {@code setProperty()} method triggers this event. The event object stores the name of the affected
    051 * property and its new value.</dd>
    052 * <dt>CLEAR_PROPERTY</dt>
    053 * <dd>If a property is removed from a configuration (by calling the {@code clearProperty()} method), an event of this
    054 * type is fired. In this case the event object only stores the name of the removed property, the value is
    055 * <strong>null</strong>.</dd>
    056 * <dt>CLEAR</dt>
    057 * <dd>This event is fired when the whole configuration is cleared. The corresponding event object contains no
    058 * additional data.</dd>
    059 * </dl>
